Deanrover Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 This is a fantastic website with an extensive list of music (excluding World and Classical). You tell it a song or band that you like, and it plays you music with similar characteristics. As you tell Pandora more songs that you like, or you give it a thumbs up/down on the songs it plays for you, your own personal radio station adapts and improves. It is free. You can also share your radio station with friends. For example I created http://www.pandora.com/?sc=sh29624289 Mainly Stripped down easyish listening indie.

Deanrover Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 btw my advice is to add songs that you like rather than artists, I've found this leads to something much closer to what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I can already tell that this is gonna be a terrible time sink: I have to love any site that recommends a song to me based on "a vocal centric aesthetic, featuring minor key tonality, an unintelligble vocal delivery, and a subtle use of vocal harmony" If anyone wants to check out my stations, search on richard.willey@gmail.comThe station titled Herot is probably most indicative of my tastes...

sallyally Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 It says in the agreement that you have to pay - provide a credit card number. Is this necessary or am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 It says in the agreement that you have to pay - provide a credit card number. Is this necessary or am I doing something wrong? Yo can skip the pay option and just get the free version - I think you select 'no thanks' My bridge is going to suffer...this is great!jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badmonster Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I love Pandora. Maybe too much. I could sit at home and play with it for hours instead of doing things like... oh playing bridge, going to work, having a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ya this is truly awesome..I am listening to Psycho by the Sonics..check out all their songs. They are a truly great band from my youth that never really made it big time for some unknown reason. It is great to play bbo and listen to this great music.

Badmonster Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Today Pandora frightened me when it interrupted the blues to play Sean Cassidy! This is why they asked me what year I was born, isn't it? Yes! Yes I did have Sean Cassidy Poster! Yes I used to kiss it! I confess. But sheesh that was over 30 years ago. Isn't there some sort of statute on how long you can be tormented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
