headygouda Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Someone mentioned this site to me and I've been digging it since. Its based on the 'music genome project' where this group annotated, in detail, the styles of a wide variety of music and cross-referenced them all to other artists with similar sounds creating a network of music.www.pandora.comIts totally free. All you do is type in the artist of something you like, then they describe the sound of that artist and create a radio station where they play songs from other artists in that network, each with its own description. I've been able to sample all sorts of stuff I would've never heard or been able to sample otherwise. Cool stuff worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Thanks!I typed in the band Television and the site connected bands that are from a similar genre. I'm now going to buy albums from Galaxie 500, Yo La Tango and Luna ( a band that I've been wanting stuff from for almost a year ).I'm listening right now to Richard Thompson ripping a solo on the famed Shoot Out The Lights.

AdamH Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have to agree wholeheartedly. Thanks to the original poster of this because I've been on there almost daily trying a few different artists. Type in Esthero and you'll get some interesting matches.

AdamH Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I don't think copyright is an issue for them as they don't play full songs, and it seems like they are tied to iTunes in some way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
