Favorite Spotify/Pandora stations?

[persa]

I need more music to listen to for different moods/activities.

What do you listen to and when?

I do Missy Elliott radio a lot when I'm trying to motivate myself to clean (or when I'm trying to dance and embarrass DD) but I'm getting bored with the lack of variety.

Feelin' good station was nice mix of old hits, Etta James, Sam Cooke, Stevie...

I've mentioned that I'm old (43) so old school hip hop is what I "grew up" with but I haven't found a good station yet but admittedly haven't searched that hard.

Sometimes at work I do very chill hipster bands like Fleet Foxes, stuff that doesn't really register in my brain and is just more like background noise.

I don't listen to music much. Even in the car I listen to the comedy am station that plays comedians shows.

I like Ellie Ingram a lot, I listen to it on YouTube though

Cocoa butter kisses!

I mostly listen to it at work, so I only have a few I rotate through

Right now I am listening to a Nas station thanks to sfy

Before that I was listening to a Downton Abbey station which really just plays soundtracks to tv shows and movies so it's more instrumental and I can tune out and focus while working.

Sometimes I listen to a "Contemporary Bollywood" station.

Finally, I have a Michael Buble station because that dude can sing (in my opinion). I usually get a mix of Frank Sinatra, Etta James, etc. from there.

Listening to Beyonce right now.

The rest of my list:
Alice Smith
Kanye West & Jay-Z
John Legend
Frank Ocean
Adele
John Coltrane

New Edition! Yes!

Did you see that Chris Paul do Candy Girl on Lip Sync Battle? It was amazing.

I loved his Gin and Juice too, especially since he was facing off Snoop Dogg.

He got totally robbed on that episode.

I missed it!  Bell Biv Devoe has a new single out.  It's not even that great, but I love them so much that I'll listen and bop anyway. 

The Pandora station plays a good mix of New Edition, Jodeci, Boyz II Men, all of the 90's R&B guy groups, etc.

I think you can see it on YouTube. I don't follow sports so I didn't know who he was but damn, he's easy to look at.

Omg Jodeci!!!!

I like the Georges Moustaki station on Pandora. Besides loving him, I really like the other Mediterranean-vibe songs the Moustaki algorithm pulls up.

Spotify -
Alternative R&B

After that - I create my own playlists. LOL

[itsme]

My main go-to stations on Pandora are:

Ludacris - Has lots of 90s and early 2000 hip hop/rap
Missy Elliot - You have that covered
90s Alternative - because I need it in my life
Paint it Black - that's for my classic rock fix

I just created a Cisco station on Pandora and I like it so far for the older R&B type music. Jodeci popped up on it the last time i listened. DMX radio is OK too as is Destiny's Child. I just throw in an artist for whatever type of music I am into and go from there.

[brandnewday]

Currently listening to Spotify playlist Are & Be. It's pretty good.

I've also been listening to Joseph on repeat - a band, not a playlist on Spotify.

Other Spotify Playlists:
Mellow Beats - for focus
Soul Coffee
Workout Twerkout - for workouts
The Piano Bar
Jazzy Romance
Late Night Jazz

Most of the other music I play is part of custom playlists I make.

[bimbi284]

I mostly use my own stations that I created on Pandora, but other than that, I have :
Salsa Radio
60s, 70s, and 80s hits radio
Gloria Estefan Radio
Ben Folds Radio
Today's Top Hits Radio
80s Pop Radio
Nirvana Radio

and some other random ones based on my wanting to listen to a particular artist at any given time.

I will say that I am really loving Amazon music streaming lately. I missed being able to listen to entire albums since I don't have space in my phone for music and don't have an iPod or anything like that. So since going to the Jenny Lewis show last week I have been listening to all Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley albums on there!

ETA: Most of my music listening happens in the car, so I like stuff I can sing along to, haha. I also have a musical theatre station I created for when I REALLY want to sing. 

When I am cleaning/cooking/not in the mood to sing in the car, I will listen to podcasts. Lately, I'm liking:

Sooo Many White Guys (Phoebe Robinson's new podcast).
2 Dope Queens (Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams)
This Week In Drugs (my friends' podcast)
You made it Weird with Pete Holmes (These get super long and sometimes boring, but when they are good, they are REALLY good)
Invisibilia
Radiolab
This American Life
Ask Me Another (trivia)

I used to have Pop Culture Happy hour and another pop culture one but I got tired of those.
