I love Pandora. I think that it's a great way to discover new music to listen to. I love being able to listen to a very specific genre of music based off of a song, artist, or era that I like. There are many Pandora stations that I think I'll like but I end up disliking it (the Avril Lavigne stations when I was going through my Avril phase...), so a good Pandora station is a wonderful find. I love fine-tuning a station until it's nothing less than enjoyable. Listen to these Pandora Radio stations in the car during a summer road trip, while driving to work, at the gym or while just spending a day in the summer sun.
1. Weezer
If you like the pop punk/alternative rock sound of Weezer, along with Sublime, The White Stripes, Green Day, Third Eye Blind, Modest Mouse and Red Hot Chili Peppers, then this station will be great for you.
2. Today's Alternative
I like to keep up on popular alternative music (isn't that a bit of an oxymoron?), and this station is a great way to do it. There's a lot of variety, too, from Arctic Monkeys to Foo Fighters.
3. 80's Dance Parties Most of All
I like '80s music and this station has all of the popular songs from the '80s that are just fun to dance to.
4. Hungry Like The Wolf
Not only does this station play Duran Duran, they also play Eurythmics, Blondie, Cyndi Lauper and The Police. It's a great station to jam to.
5. Joan Jett
Joan Jett makes me feel really punk and her top hits make me feel like head banging. Good, classic rock that isn't necessarily what people think of when they think "classic rock."
6. Halsey
If you like Halsey, Melanie Martinez, Lana Del Ray, Lorde, The Neighborhood, Angus and Julie Stone or Blue Foundation, this station has all of these and more.
7. KONGOS
The KONGOS have had some great hits, and this station has artists like Avicii, Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding.
8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Trans-Siberian Orchestra does fantastic Christmas music, but if you make sure to select the non-Christmas music station, it will connect you with some really cool instrumental music.
9. '90s Pop
Matchbox Twenty, 3 Doors Down, Semisonic... This is some great stuff.
10. Stressed Out
"Stressed Out" has become a really popular song recently. This station has Milky Chance, Imagine Dragons, Lukas Graham and Cage The Elephant. This station is perfect to rock out to.
Happy listening!
