I didn't grow up with much musical variety besides Christian rock (which sucks), and most of my CDs are what other people have purchased for me. I've been using Pandora for a little over one year and I like it a lot; I listen to it at work, when I'm writing, and while I'm doing housework. <br /><br />It beats the heck out of spending money to listen to music I like, though I have bought many individual tracks I've heard only through Pandora for use in my car. My fiance pays for the non-advertisement version.<br /><br />The station that is always on for me started as "Blue Man Group radio," where I get terms like: use of modal harmonies, a bumpin' kick sound, prevalent use of groove, thickly layered production, melodic string accompaniment, and techno roots. I like a strong/funky beat, and I'm currently hooked on techno (Crystal Method, Zircon) and electronic swing (Parov Stelar).Mike Easterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140439812159109861noreply@blogger.com
