Viva le Pandora!!
Jan 20^th, 2012 at 9:57pm

Pretty much all the music I listen to these days is Pandora. It ain't new, I know, but all my CDs are packed up (perhaps for good), and all I have is my laptop. Pandora has been spinning pretty much non stop at home, and I find myself discovering a ton of new artists I've never heard of, or heard of but never explored before. Townes Van Zandt, John Prine and Steve Goodman have yielded the list of names above on the poll -anyone want to comment on any of these artists? I could list about ten more names but that is all I can come up with right now.

I've been on a Nick Drake kick the last week or so - he's the coolest thing since sliced bread right now. What a tragic figure. Fucking amazing songwriter.

Speaking of tragic figures, did steelie get the boot or what?

Reply #2 - Jan 21^st, 2012 at 11:54am every last one of them are musical geniuses in my humble opinion!! If you like Nick Drake.. you will also like Elliott Smith another talent lost at a young age. I'm sure he comes up on your Pandora too.
