So a friend pointed me at pandora.com today - a site where, based upon your
stated musical preferences, you are given their best guesses as to what you
might want to hear.
After having tried a couple different starting points, I created a 'New Station'
with 'Weird Al' Yankovic. It started by playing an Al tune, moved to 'The
Ninjas' by the Barenaked Ladies. Somehow, within a few more tunes, I get
'Another Brick in The Wall, Part 2' from Pink Floyd's Echoes. When I hit the
'Why did you play this song' link, it says:
Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it
features electric rock instrumentation, repetitive melodic phrasing, extensive
vamping, minor key tonality and an electric guitar solo.
I'm not being critical. It was just a touch of a shock.
