I have had a very busy week so not much time to research a new topic so I will talk about my current favorite music site Pandora. Pandora is the one that I have been using the longest and it is the site that I have discovered the most music on. In fact, I have not really discovered much music on any other site.
For those of you that have never used Pandora, go to Pandora.com and pick your favorite song or artist and Pandora will play that artist or a song very similar to that artist. I won’t go into here how they do that since they explain that on their website. As Pandora plays songs, you must rate each song with a thumbs up or thumbs down. The more you rate songs the better Pandora gets with picking songs that are closer to your taste. I have discovered numerous bands that I would have never discovered anywhere else and turned my friends on to some great music. My friends are always asking where I discover all this great music and I say Pandora.
Just recently Pandora added classical music which is rare for the majority of music websites that I haved used. I love classical music so there is not much to discover but it is a great way to relax to commercial free music.
If you know of another website that can compete with the music discovery of Pandora or offers up a great selection of classical music let me know.

After all this time, I still haven’t used Pandora. Sad, but true. I think i’ll check it out this morning.
I know you’ve introduced us to some great mucic, but which artists have you discovered from Pandora. Do give examples?
I love Pandora! I especially used it at work when I had a desk job. It was really fun to create different stations depending on my mood. I even created one for Christmas which got me in the Holly Jolly spirit (forget about buying those over priced holiday CD’s that you only listen to once a year). I have also discovered a bunch of bands from using the site. The best one to date though is “Matt Pond PA”. I had never heard of them before and now they are one of my favorites!
