While 'working' I usually have Pandora playing in the background.  My musical tastes are eclectic.  Here's a list of my Pandora Channels (in no particular order–noting that my kids have access to my Pandora account which explains the Miley Cyrus channel–at least that's my story):

Bon Jovi Radio, Billy Joel Radio, Weezer Radio, Paramore Radio, Pharell Radio, Country Rock Radio, Today's Christmas Radio, Family Christmas Radio, Indie Holidays Radio, Motley Crue Radio, Summer Hits of the 90s Radio, Bruno Mars Radio, Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov Radio, Maurice Ravel Radio, Bruce Springsteen Radio, Blake Shelton Radio, Johnny Cash Radio, J Shogren Radio, Summer Hits of the 2000s Radio, Blurred Lines Radio, Eagles Radio, Jimmy Buffett Radio, Bob Sima Radio, Today's Country Radio, Van Morrison Radio, Little River Band Radio, Joe Cocker Radio, Icona Pop Radio, Jazz Radio, Today's Hits Radio, O.A.R. Radio, Gustav Holst Radio, Mumford & Sons Radio, Bob Marley Radio, Joe Walsh Radio, Fun. Radio, Gotye Radio, Adele Radio, Rock Lobster Radio, Zac Brown Band Radio, Greg Kihn Radio, Elvis Presley Radio, Sergey Rachmaninov Radio, Crack The Sky Radio, Meat Loaf Radio, Falling Slowly Radio, Cliffs Of Dover Radio, Miley Cyrus Radio, Sting Radio, Boston Radio, Bohemian Rhapsody Radio, Jacques Offenbach Radio, Leonard Bernstein Radio, Major Tom (Coming Home) Radio, AC/DC Radio, Son Volt Radio, Aaron Copland Radio, Pearl Jam Radio, Jeff Buckley Radio, Brandi Carlile Radio, The Killers Radio, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Radio, Phil Collins Radio, Nickelback Radio, Genesis Radio, Queen Radio, Alternative Pop/Rock radio, KT Tunstall Radio

Anyway, during breaks from 'working' I like to read the Pandora artist profiles.  Here's a recent favorite:

Subject only to the whims of his own muse, his recordings cover extraordinary stylistic ground yet retain a consistency and purity virtually unmatched among his contemporaries, connected by the mythic power of his singular musical vision and his incendiary vocal delivery: spiraling repetitions of wails and whispers that bypass the confines of language to articulate emotional truths far beyond the scope of literal meaning.

Um…yeah. 

For fun (and no Googling), name that artist

Hint: It's not Miley.

    Is it someone one the list above? My first instinct was Conor Oberst (but then, are your musical tastes that eclectic?). If it’s someone from your list of stations, maybe Joe Cocker?

    Patterson Hood

    Sounds like Van Morrison to me. I might have said Jeff Buckley but his career was to short for some of those comments.

    Not Oberst, but now I have a new Pandora channel

    Nope, but Drive-By Truckers are covered on my alt-country station.
