I was getting a little tired of the usual selections in my music library, and this site offers such incredible variety -- something for every mood.

What a find!

Now that's some shit-kickin' music. :rofl:

17. I know more about Middle Eastern music than

Damn even Johnny Mattis is getting airplay. :rofl:

a possible look..

23. Nice, but I typed in Ochs and got some Polka music -- Also try Pandora.com

http://www.pandora.com/

theradio.com seems to be chart-toppers, and good for that. Typing in Phil Ochs got an "unknown."

So I went back to Pandora. Rather than fixed playlists the selections are based on similarity of style and genre and who-knows-what. So instead of Ochs following Ochs, next came Donovan, Paul Simon, Pete Seeger, and so on. Apparently a thumbs up or down further tweaks the selection process. You can set up artist based "stations" to quickstart listening, and the selection system has turned me on to many whose names I had not heard or maybe forgotten. So I have Leo Kottke, Tom Paxton, John Fahey, Leadbelly, Johnny Cash and several others set as stations as well as some others who are new to me.

24. Thanks for your link
