Pandora lovers, come in
What's your favorite Pandora station?
My favorites are Colbie Caillat and Adele, but apparently I've been listening to them too much, because I'm starting to feel like they're on repeat. I have a stack of paperwork to do, and I needs me some new tunes.
Re: Pandora lovers, come in
You're going to laugh at me, but:
Josh Groban and Michael Buble
I also like making stations based off a song instead of just the artist. Lately I've been listening to my "Heartbreak Warfare" (John Mayer) station. It plays things along the lines of Mat Kearney, One Republic, The Fray, etc.
I have about 15 stations right now, it's kind of ridiculous. I have Lady Gaga and techno stations for when I'm about to fall asleep at work...
Stand up for something you believe in.
HAHA - I have the most ridiculous stations.
Currently, since Ames mentioned Kurt Cobain I'm listening to a Nirvana station.
I mostly listen to a Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake station (especially at the gym)...but I also have a Boyz II Men , Nate Dogg (since he died the other day), Rob Pattinson, The Monkees, Rihanna.
The Rihanna station annoys me because it plays a lot of techno music. Rihanna =/= techno.
Really? What is that like? Bella's Lullaby on repeat?
Stand up for something you believe in.
My Pandora Stations:
Bruno Mars (newer, and haven't listened much)
Esperanza Spalding (this one is great for soothing, chill music)
Adele (similar to Amy Winehouse)
Gnarls Barkley (one of my favorites)
John Coltrane
Henry Mancini (awesome movie scores)
Nina Simone
Miike Snow (recommendation from P&CE)
Hector Lavoe (Salsa)
Michael Jackson (classic)
The Beatles (another classic)
Coldplay
Corinne Bailey Rae (commonly played)
Ella Fitzgerald
Amy Winehouse (most frequently played)
Glee
The White Stripes
Lauryn Hill
Mozart
Sinatra
Hillsong (when I need to praise out)
Sara Bareilles (lot of play, and a lot of Ingrid Michaelson)
Paramore (when I need to jam out)
ETA: Sorry, you asked for favorites... haha. whups.
I think Amy Winehouse, but that is so similar to Adele's. I jump around a lot depending on my mood.

Holy crap,I am SO behind on the times. I read this and thought "How the hell does she listen to Pandora at the gym?!" But then I realized you probably plug headphones into a SmartPhone and listen that way. Or can you get internet access on iPod touches now? I have a 4 year old flip phone (amazing I can check Facebook with it) and a 3 year old iPod nano, so I'm completely out of touch with new technology. Every time I use Craig's iPhone, I feel like SJP in the first SATC movie.
No, no Bella's Lullaby (PS - I do have that as my ringtone on my phone though). It plays John Meyer and The Fray like type music.
Also - Pandora wasn't agreeing with me when I originally posted and it's not deciding to cooperate so a few more of my stations are Brad Paisley, Country Grammar (? Nelly!), Hootie and the Blowfish and Blink182.
HAHA - yes, I have a Pandora app on my phone. Can I just tell you that Promiscuous Girl is my favorite song to run to? haha
Try "Winter Song" radio too. It gets you both Ingrid and Sara but has a nice variety of "chill" music, like A Fine Frenzy, Regina Spektor, etc.
Dude, that's a classic. My favorite part is still the way he says "Girl, I'm a freak you shouldn't say those things!"
I'm also digging Usher lately. "More" is an awesome running song...granted I haven't been able to run to it yet, but it's on my playlist ready for my first time back out there once the kiddo's born.
I love having the app on my phone - I haven't used my iPod since I got the phone.
I like Usher from the 8.7.01 album and before. I can't stand this new Justin Beiber loving Usher. His new stuff drives me nuts. I really think Chili was his muse or something. I think since they broke up he's majorly gone down hill.
Love when they play Regina Spektor.... good stuff.

I'm right there with ya girl.
My gym playlist is so embarassing. It's the cheesiest pop music available, Nelly Furtato, N'Sync, Britney, Black Eyed Peas. I like to listen to "Fergalicious" while I'm working on my fitness. ;-)
I might have to try Nelly "Country Grammar" station. That feels so right right about now. I need to bookmark this post for future referance.
Hmm mine is a little different than everyone elses it seems...
Lifehouse
Journey
Rascal Flatts
Jimmy Eat World
Breaking Benjamin
Michael Jackson
Usher
Then I have the generic Today's Hip Hop and R&B which i can only listen to for a few hours before they start playing the same songs... in the same order...
Ooo I'm going to try the "Winter Song" radio, that will be a nice change!
:Blog:
I have a Nelly station.

Nice we have similar music taste! I listened to the best of Michael Buble in my car for months.
He's great, and I once read, only $10,000 to have him sing at your wedding. Which sounds like a lot, but for a bigger voice, and with some people's budgets, it isn't that much.

Whaaaaaaaat? No way. That had to have been years and years ago, right? I love him, no matter what they say about his womanizing ways.
We played a ton of his music at our cocktail hour and reception. I'm hoping both you and Tonia have seen him in concert, he puts on a hell of a show!
Both Tonia and Tara - Yeah, I was like get out! It was in Blender a while back. But when we were planning our weddings. Christina was like insane over a million, or maybe it was like 10. I can't quite remember.
We played Everything during our slide show.

So did we! That song is so damn cute.
My wedding/reception was a Josh Groban/Michael Buble love fest. I got teased for being a 45 year old woman several times.
