I listen to this all day at work. Anyone else use it?

For those who don't know; you basically create your own stations by choosing a band you like. So, in my case, the first station I set up was a Nirvana station. Then the "Music Genome Project" plays other music that I might like. I can say thumbs up or down and the station will become more tailored to my interest.

Anyways...it's awesome.

My Channels:

Nirvana
Hollywood Undead (with Fort Minor tacked on)
Heartless Bastards
Arctic Monkeys

I listen to Slacker Radio at work, which is pretty much the same concept.

I was turned on to Pandora a year or two ago by one of our members that hasn't registered with the new boards yet, Wolfschanze.

I haven't used it in a while, but I have a few channels: The Killers, Postal Service, Smashing Pumpkins, The Shins and Cold War Kids.

Pandora radio is amazing. I've got a channel centered around Tool, Jimi, David Bowie.

yea it is, you have to thumbs down alot of stuff since those 3 are so different and it wants to"try out" alot of bands on you. But those are my main bands. Alot of APC, Pumpkins, NIN, SOAD, and random 70s and 80's rocks songs I like in there. I had a friend tell me about it a few months ago, wish I had found it sooner. So much better than any internet radio station I could find. Plus it's good at finding rare or uncommon congs from artist you like. Like the NIN song from the lost highway soundtrack I used to love but hadn't even thought about for about 10 years.

I highly recommend it. :D

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not....

Great band; too bad the station sucks.

My latest and greatest is a Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo fighters, and Toadies mix.

Everlong is on my all-time top 20 for sure.
