The best of Van Halen...but its not Van Halen

You have all probably used this site in years past and I became aware of it last year, but check out pandora.com

This site is fabulous. Basically what you do is you create an account, pick out your favorite band and then Pandora will find other bands that are similar in styles and music to your favorite band and you get your own radio station. So, for Brodi and I, we have our favorite bands like Muse, Everclear, Live, Linkin Park, etc...each one of those bands now has its own separate station where only music that is similar to those styles is played. It is free and it is streamed for FREE right over the internet.

So, if you want to listen to music on your computer but you want to find new or different bands, just enter what style of music you like and sit back and enjoy. There is the feature built in as well that if you don't like a certain song, you can give it a thumbs up and you will not have to listen to that music anymore.

Now, I know some of you love your 'Bangles', 'Backstreet Boys', 'Barry Manilow', etc. and that is OK--now you can listen to a lot of crappy bands that sound just like them! Anyway, enjoy...
