It's funny you brought this up. I just auditioned with this group and may end up playing with them sometime in the near future. Wish me luck.  ;)

Go to:

www.pandora.com

Make a free account, make a station, get hooked.

edit:

You can make stations by genre, or artist.  I like to take a handfull of similar drummers and group them all in one station.  You get some really interesting drum-oriented playlists.

Go to www.musicplasma.com. 

Enter the name of a favorite band or artist.
Click the "Artist / Band" button

The band you entered will be displayed in a sphere in the center of the screen, surrounded by other spheres. 

The larger the sphere, the more popular the band/artist (I assume the measurement is by record sales).  The closer the other band spheres are to your selected band, the greater the chances you will like those other bands.

That is nifty!  I'm going to be messing with this for a while.

Thanks Susan, best I can do is try and just be "Chip". That's the tuff part, who's Chip?  ;D

You could try spotify.

A hell of a lot of music

I like  http://www.live365.com]www.live365.com .  I've found a bunch of music by listening to their online radio stations that I wouldn't have heard anywhere else.
