Extremely. I was surprised to see this being dug up. But I'm sure there are still people out there who can appreciate it, so I guess I'll add a few more to this list:
http://audiojungle.net/ - Yes, it costs money (most songs are about $7-$20), but every song here comes with permission to use in YouTube videos, including a file with license information to submit in case you get flagged. HUGE range of music here, with some really good quality gems here-and-there.
https://bandcamp.com/ - Some are free, some are paid. The paid ones are sometimes "donation-based" (name your price; may or may not have a minimum price), other times they are fixed. Fixed-priced albums seem to sit in the $5-$8 range. A lot of good quality stuff here.
However, not all music comes with an automatic permission that you're allowed to use it in videos, so read the page carefully. Since most artists here are still trying to break out, though, a simple email or tweet asking if you can use it will usually work in your favor (especially since it's for a free video). I actually did this recently for a Twitch stream. The artist was more than happy to let me use it.
