Pandora for me.

Pandora annoyed me because I can't pick my music really. Like, I tell them I like lacuna coil, so they play 15 bands that they THINK is like Lacuna Coil, when I really just wanted to hear Lacuna Coil. I.e. they won't play the band I name, just ones who are musically similar but NOT the same... which is annoying. That and they cut me off after like 2 hours or whatever.

Well, obviously they can only play the band if the record label has a contract with them. Lacuna Coil may not. Speaking of which, I saw Lacuna Coil here in concert in smallish venue in August. They put on a pretty damn good show.

That said, I like the way they play "similar" bands. I've found a ton of bands that I like now that I had never heard of before.

'Scuse my ignorance, please, but what is this "Pandora" thingy?

It's a box that you don't want to open

Pandora was this hot dizzy chick that had this box that she was not to open, but when she did, all hell broke loose.

On the interwebs it is a music on line thing that is really quite awsome. Had to quit listening to it because i lost access to a computer that could handle the sight.

Stryper is supposed to be in Columbia, Missouri at the blue note, soon-ish!

Yeah, Pandora is "internet radio." Basically you can build your own radio stations with the types of music you want to listen to. It is pretty cool. I'm a big fan.

Is there a cost for this?

No, Lacuna Coil was on there. They always played a Lacuna Coil song first, but never again for the next 2 hours or however long until they make you change channels. I like a good chunk of the songs on Pandora I heard, but if I really want to hear Lacuna Coil, hearing Evanescence won't scratch that itch.

Glad to see you enjoyed Lacuna Coil, they're one of my favorite bands. Love Cristina's voice and the way the instruments work(a sorta techno-rock thing IMO)
