    For those of you that don't know Pandora is a website (also an iPhone app) that streams commercial free music. You pick a genre of music or a particular artists and the program plays songs by that artist as well as what it thinks are similar artists. It's one of my favorite apps.

    Anyways what are some of you all's favorite stations and for what occasions? For example:

    my faves
    for running: The Ting Tings station - it has a lot of upbeat songs with faster beats
    for going to sleep: Josh Groban station - instant sleep within 3-4 songs, very peaceful
    for driving in the car: Dierks Bentley station - a good mix of mostly upbeat country music

    for other Pandora users, what stations do yall like and for what activity? Any good suggestions for workout stations? Thanks.

    i always wished it would slowly branch out to different types of music on one station over time. but no

    meaning over the years i have liked

    punk
    industrial
    90's rap
    underground hip hop from the 00's
    60's (beatles, led zep, pink floyd, velvet underground, jimi hendrix)
    reggae
    jungle
    drum n bass
    trance/progressive
    shoegaze
    jazz
    indie (of the last 5 years)
    90's alternative

    if i could it to branch to all that and some more i would be very happy.

    I like Slacker better due to it's more diverse musical selections. I have found quite a few songs I would have never heard without Slacker. Unfortunately, it doesn't work nearly as well on my blackberry as Pandora so it's Slacker on my PC and Pandora on my BB.

    I know it's not a Pandora station, but Radio Paradise is a very thoughtful, sometimes eclectic mix. It's a standalone app on the Iphone, and a high bitrate stream at radioparadise.com.
