How do you get from Clutch to Pharrell?

I used Pandora for a long time, then it started glitching on me and wouldn’t play. It would switch songs, but no sound. So I switched to Slacker, much better. Give it a try.

Pandora’s thing that supposedly helps you find new music is horrible.

The secret to Pandora is never giving a thumbs-up to anything Top 40 or similar, or you’ll get Daughtry and Beyonce constantly.

I use Spotify and bought Premium, and listen to what I want to on demand.

I agree. Slacker is much better. I too used to listen to Pandora, but it seemed to repeat a lot. I also prefer their algorithm (or whatever they use since they advertise it isn't an algorithm) for picking music better.

I'm listening to my Deftones radio on Pandora. A few songs ago they threw in Black Eyed Peas. What the fuck Pandora?

It kind of also depends on how much stuff you’ve favorited. Hell, I've gone from NWA, to the Beach Boys, to Taylor Swift before.

AND NOW IT'S PLAYING WEEZER! What the hell Pandora? In what world do The Deftones sound like Weezer?

I used to listen to slacker, but I don’t remember why I switched to Pandora. It may have actually been a lack of Clutch.

I don’t think seeds for Clutch, Rammstein, and QOTSA should ever lead to Pharrell.

I went from Clutch to PRNDL, that’s sort of the same leap.

Good point. Maybe someone got into your account and planted a bunch of shitty seed artists? Lol

Sad thing is I really liked Chris Daughtry on American Idol, I really hoped he would use his voice for less pop-rock. But that’s how Idol works.

I’m almost 100% Amazon Prime Radio now. More limited selection, but no ads, unlimited skips, and a good selection of full albums in addition to stations (and for my purposes, totally free since I use Prime for shipping and streaming).

I wouldn’t sign up for Spotify because they required a Facebook login, which I boycott. Not sure if that’s still the case.

You can set up an account without Facebook and use an email instead.

Dafuq? Did you ever accidentally like something else by mistake? I set up a Red Fang station and all it ever gave me was stoner rock/metal. Then one day it slipped in “Paint It Black” by the Stones, and I was like hell yeah, and I liked it because it’s a good song and pretty good musical fit. Now all I get is the Beatles and Elvis because it thinks I like oldies.

Fun fact: Clutch is awesome. I remodeled their drummer’s kitchen 2 years ago.

It’s recent, but I’ve noticed some pretty serious non-sequiturs myself over the past few weeks. I just thumbs down the bad choices and eventually it’s learned. (I listen to Pandora in the car almost exclusively.)

That’s a pretty awesome fun fact!

Spotify premium is worth every penny, although at times I wonder wtf is happening with their licensing. I remember I wanted to listen to 2112 by Rush and they have the whole album, except for the song 2112 - the album is kind of pointless without this song, especially considering that this is one whole side of the vinyl record.

There are artists who say they aren’t paid enough per play of any given track, among those most noted Taylor Swift. Good luck finding Def Leppard due to a major row between the band and the label, which left the band permanently refusing to authorize any sale of anything from their catalogue.

I wouldn't be using Spotify if I needed Facebook, mainly because I don't have a Facebook.

I head someone say Clutch. Not as fun of a fun fact as having remodeled the drummers kitchen, but my wireless smoke detectors are set to 10001110101, or however many dip switches worth of that are in them.
