Internet Radio Stations (Pandora/Spotify/iTunes/IHeartRadio)

  What are some of your go-to internet radio stations? I just started listening to Huey Lewis radio on Pandora, and I like the mixup it brings. A lot of Hall and Oates, Billy Joel, Huey Lewis, etc. Also a big fan of Pearl Jam radio on Pandora. What are some of your favorites, and through what service?

  I use Google Play Music All Access. They just did an update that lets you find stations based on the day of the week and the time. So I've been having fun rolling through those. A few of the ones I seem to keep coming back to are "Frat-Rap House Party," "Classic Singer-Songwriters," "At a '90s Frat BBQ," and "SoCal Summer."

  80s cardio on Pandora is the best gym playlist hands down.

  I use Pandora rarely. I'm more of a Soundcloud guy. It's more of streaming music rather than radio. My thing with Pandora is which ever station I have it on of course usually plays the most popular and mainstream song and that usually not what I'm looking for most of the time. I like to use 8tracks. It's a solid app. Lots of different categories to choose from and mix to find the right playlist. Really good if you want to find new music too.

  I love Pandora. My 4 go to stations are: Zeppelin, Beatles, Korn, Eminem. I also have 2 or 3 bluegrass stations and a 90s hits station.

  I usually listen to Pandora when I can. It is all over the map depending on my mood.
  My channels include: BB King, Albert King, Modern Blues, Guitar Legends, Zepplin, Classic Rock, Beastie Boys, Tribe Called Quest, Black Keyes, and Hard Rock

  Both Pandora and Last.fm for me.
  
  For Pandora, I mainly use a station where I added all the NWOBHM (new wave of British heavy metal -- groups in the late 70s and early/mid 80s that picked up the slack when Sabbath, Zeppelin and Deep Purple started breaking up and getting too drugged out to be good) groups available. Works good, but the main negative is that it goes all over the place, in part because those groups were all over the place, with some like Praying Mantis winding up influencing hair metal, while others like Venom influencing death metal. And, for some reason, Pandora loves dropping dubstep/trance shit and hispanic tejano music into my station for no fucking reason.
  
  Last Fm is great because you can customize what groups you listen to. I have about 1600 hard rock/metal groups on my station. The main negative is that, just like real radio stations, it seems to get fixated on certain artists/songs. Every time I listen to it for any amount of time, there are certain songs or groups I know will get played virtually every fucking time. And then I delete those songs from my station when I get tired of them and new ones pick up the slack in getting overplayed.

  I always make sure to thumb-up songs I like and thumb-down songs I don't (on Pandora), and that seems to help some.
