New male singer is in fact chris corner, who was always in them and wrote all of the songs you liked. If you don't like sneaker pimps now hes actually singing, then you will definitely hate his electroponce side-project, (
http://www.iamx.co.uk/) IAMX. I've been to see them, and they weren't half bad. The guys from the mighty boosh tv series where on stage with them at one point, dressed as some sort of glam pilots, which was a bit hard to fathom.

funny, I searched the crap out of this and didn't find a single thread.

Hey guys have I told you about Pandora it's the greatest thing ever I'm not listening to it right now but I plan to soon and as soon as I do I'm going to post about it so see you then.
Seriously though, Pandora just keeps getting better. They changed the edit-station feature to use html rather than flash and they've added all the artists I suggested to them except Fear. I wish they had the songs you select not to play for a month with the rest in the edit station page, because I've accidentally done that to songs I'd actually still like to hear.
Oh, and Pantera is way overrated.

To see their selection, I tried running it through its paces. Trash80? Nope.
But hey! They've got Deathray. Not that I like Deathray that much, but most people don't have it, so that's something, I guess.
Do they give the whole "This artist is characterized by:" thing for everything, or just for things they bothered to write it for? Is it computer-generated or pre-determined?
Apart from the fact that they seem to think R.E.M. is the exact same band now that it was 25 years ago, it seems pretty cool.

Are you joking? Because you saying that like really hurts, like actually really hurts. If anything Pantera is <i>underrated</i>. It's also an affront to the memory of Dimebag.

Just found another hole:(
Pandora can't analyze lyrics. I mean, I don't expect to be able to say "no bad lyrics", since that's a judgement call. But it only seems to correlate music by MUSIC, and as far as its concerned voices are just another instrument. Which works for some folks. But thing is that, by and large, I can't stand love songs. But I can't just tell it "no love songs" or "no songs that include these incredibly cliche lines" or something.
I mean, these last few years I've practically given up on finding stuff that combines good music with good lyrics - I've gone with "good music and lyrics that are something other than unbearable" - but I've had enough of that and really need something more.

In fact, it practically explodes in a shower of crap every time I put 'Faith No More' into it.
So it's doing it's job then.
Seriously, if it plays something you don't like, tell it you don't like it & you'll never have to hear it again.

The fact that it's you saying this makes me feel vindicated. At least until I noticed fett had chimed in.
Pandora does analyze lyrics. A complete list of the traits Pandora keeps track of is (
