Hi all -

I don't know how many of you have heard of Pandora but if you enjoy listening to music you may want to take a look.

It's a free music service that generates custom radio stations - you tell it a song you like and it plays music that it thinks is the same style. It does have a habit of wandering off into strange bands nobody has ever heard of but it has introduced me to lots of new music so it can't be all bad ;)

Check it out!

Yeah good stuff. I'm currently listening to "Seasons in the abyss" by Slayer after typing in Slipknot and it tells you why this song is similar to the band/song you have chosen. Although I disagree that it says Slipknot has mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation

I've been using this for a few months now, and i've found loads of new bands because of it. :wink:

That's really rather clever. I entered "Ned's Atomic Dustbin" and got a song that sounds a lot like Kill Your Television.
