Pandora

As I was typing in the very long post regarding the imminent death of all things disc-related (not the frisbee, tho), I was trying out Pandora Radio, which is based on the Music Genome Project. I started out with Level 42, and the damned thing spat out this list of songs, which I listened to mostly with glee the entire way (I indicate my favor or outrage with + or -, respectively):
