I'm amazed and in shock. Wow:eek: This should be a sticky as it will be such help in broadening musical horizons.

Once again.
Wow.

Yea, been using it for a while (right now infact), one of the best sites ever. So simple and effective. It 'just works'.

You click that you don't like a song and they do not play that type of stuff anymore. It's always getting better.

So, I'm informing people of a site that (IMO) could broaden their musical horizons and you have a problem with that? It's a tad more important than "music on the internet".
You come across as smug.
Thats quite an achievement on the internet.

This is my (pandora) station. Its a mix of all the greats of the 70's, from english folk bands Fotheringay and Fairport Convention (both exhibiting the amazing talents of the angelic Sandy Denny), to Jimmy Hendrix to Bob Dylan:

and you can always change it to suit your tastes.

Pandora for president.

I just tried MBV too... and i got a recommencdation of ".38 special"! Countrified 80's stadium rock. Just the sort of thing a My Bloody Valentine fan would like all right...

I presumed this would be like http://www.gnoosic.com/

Suggests similar artists. But you actively have to go out and search for the CD's or download a couple of MP3s.

But it's a radio station? Cool. Must violate some copyrights somewhere. Having all that music there for you to freely listen to.

I'll be hanging onto this even if its just for when I'm at a computer without my music on it. Just type in The Walkmen and I've got my favourite bands tracks available on the spot.

Yeah just happened to check the place out yesterday after someone mentioned it in a PM....I was very surprised by the diversity of stuff they have...high quality stream and doesn't seem to eat much bandwidth either, however they managed that...

Apparently I like music with electric rock instrumentation, a punk influence, mild rhythmic sycopation, a vocal-centric aesthetic and major key tonality.

EDIT/ Let the thread-merging commence

How do you keep listening without regestering?

I want to use it but i can't register because of living in Ireland.

Just google for a random ZIP code....it's not as if they'll call round to make sure you live there. A ZIP will consist of two letters denoting state (TX=Texas for example) and 5 numbers.
