You recently joined the world. Www.google.com is good too.

But seriously, Ryan Bingham, bb king, and matchbox 20 are my stations.

Haha yeah, (insert living under a rock joke here)<insert the="" living="" under="" a="" rock="" joke="" here="">.

But having been a pandora user for a long time now, I've noticed a few things that annoy me. For one, each station's base playlist is rather small. You will start to hear the same songs over and over again if you don't thumbs up songs. This leads to the second thing that annoys me. You're favorited songs have too much an influence on what will be played next. For example, I once turned an Eminem station into a full blown techno station by favoriting less than 10 songs.</insert>

Not only that, but for us free users when all of a sudden a random song is slipped into one of your stations and you have to waste a next on it.

I agree. It is annoying hearing the same songs over and over again after awhile. I want to be introduced to new music, unfortunately I just get recycled songs.

No. You're allowed. Just makes your joke kind of lame.

It's been a while since I used it, but the 90s Rap station used to be real good.

Listening to a "Zero7" station at the moment. Favorite is "Resolution" (by Thievery Corporation).

When I get a hankerin' for my roots, it's usually either AC/DC or Metallica.

I love Pandora -- been listening for a LONG time.

I have three stations of my own music mixes:
  1. My Kind of Music -- country music without any friggin' females ruining it
  2. Old School Rap -- this started because of a co-worker who could name every song
  3. 80s -- this started for the same reason as #2

For those around my age (I am 24) summer hits of the 2000's is a great station. Brings me back to my middle school years. Summer hits of the 90's and summer hits of the 80's are also good stations.

Pandora hates me, going from Nine Inch Nails to Neil Young and then onto Type O Negative.
