I finally setup my last.fm account and only used Pandora in passing on my phone/ipod.  Now I’m going to be putting them both through the paces to see which I’ll like better.  There are pretty much no negative reviews about Pandora but I want to see how good last.fm is going to be and see how it’s going to handle on the upcoming Xbox360 update.  I added a link to my last.fm account on the around the web section and would have done the same had Pandora had such a feature (maybe it does and I’m dumb).

My initial impression is that last.fm has this trio mixer where you can pick 3 of your favorite bands for it to generate a playlist.  It seems a bit more cumbersome in Pandora where you have to create a station first then add variety to it.  But we’ll see which delivers songs I like on a more consistent basis!

UPDATE: Oh I found the Pandora page: http://www.pandora.com/people/timothy.hanson
