I feel like I am always begging my friends to suggest music to me that I might like. Today a friend told me about this site today and I like it. It is called The Music Genome Project at Pandora.com. You type in the name of a band. That opens up a radio station that plays other music similar to the music you chose. You can vote thumbs up or down for each song they play.
It's pretty cool. I typed in Keane and got a couple of songs by bands I'd never heard of. They suggested Back in Time by a band I'd never heard of called Beach Mercer, Home by Red Umbrella (never heard of them either) and Breaking my Heart by Aqualung.
They missed on a few others, but overall it was on mark.
Check it out if you wish.

The art is Pandora by French Symbolist artist Odilon (Bertrand-Jean) Redon, c.1914.

OK well Pandora just froze up on me, but other than that...

Rico,
My computer rocks. I still like Pandora too. You suck though.
Bob,
Yay!
Do they call it pandora because it breaks your computer if you open it?
Well, no computer breakage here. A little strange in the selections based on my initial artist selection, but some of the other selections are blasts from prog-rock past lol. Oh, Progressive Rock for those who just looked at this quizzically. I got some Nu-Metal in with my Prog-rock though. Meh. But not bad so far even here at work. :)

Er Rolfe, I'm not quite sure. Hopefully it will be OK. So far I really like it!
Frank,
You know, you sound something like me. In other words, I don't really have much of a clue what you were talking about.
