Pandora Radio

Time for something new; how about a review of a website? Pandora.com seems like a good candidate.

Pandora is an internet radio site where you create your own radio station based on a band, a song, or a genre. The site takes over then, playing songs that share similar characteristics as the base choice. You also have multiple other customization options, including, but not limited to:

Add Variety: Add another band or song to the current station's influence.
Thumbs up: The station plays more music like the current song
Thumbs down: The station narrows down the song list by removing songs similar to the current song.
Sleep for a Month: If your station plays a song too often, you can make it NOT play it for a month

BASED ON BAND:   10/10
BASED ON SONG:    9/10

OVERALL SCORE:   37/40

-Basing a song on a band is great. You get EXACTLY what you want, since it will try to play music similar to all of the content of the band
-Basing it on a song works well, but offers less variety
-Genre stations should possibly have gotten a lower score. Genre stations are shared by all members of the site, so that means everyone decides what gets played. Therefore, the songs that come up occasionally do not fit the genre (like David Bowie on the Industrial genre station), but it redeems itself in that MOST of the songs do belong to the correct genre.
-No matter what your choice is, you will discover new bands to listen to.
