pandora.com

i listened to music on pandora.com quite a bit in 2006/2007, but then i got out of the habit.  i turned it on again today, and was reminded how good it can be.  they have this algorithm called the "music genome project" that helps pick songs you'll like based on artists and songs that you've said you like. and it tends to do a great job.  they've added advertisement breaks now, but you can't blame them, they have to make money somehow.

you can build multiple "stations" based on different kinds of music that you like and lets you share your stations with others.  some of mine have turned out better than others, but i'm quite happy with my electronic station.  if you've used it before, then you've probably already created one or more stations that you like.  but either way, try mine out if you like electronic music like daft punk, groove armada, etc.  and leave a comment with a link to your station if you have one you like.
