For Hours Of Listening Pleasure

If you're using Pandora on the internets to listen to music, plug in these artists to create a station. You will not be disappointed:

Thelonious Monk
Art Tatum
Billie Holiday
Charlie Parker
Coleman Hawkins
Ella Fitzgerald
Fats Navarro
Lester Young

Yeah, I know it's heavy on Be-Bop, but it is soooo cool.

My Pandora station that is contemporary pop/rock is only so-so. It actually got quite annoying. I put in artists like Tom Waits, Mike Doughty, Bruce Cockburn, Dylan, and just for kicks, the Go-Go's. I would hear a string of really cool songs but then it would go on this chick-rock jag and start playing Heart, Pat Benetar, Scandal etc. I added the Go-Go's since they created some of the best pop songs of the 80's but Pandora decided it needed to link me up with that dreck from the above mentioned "artists."

If I ever get tired of my Be-Bop station, maybe I'll try and create an old timey jazz list with Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke and Jelly Roll Morton.
