Helpful for music discovery, but use caution.
Pandora is a wonderful way to discover new music, and can be completely tailored to one's music tastes. As soon as you create an account, however, be sure to turn on the explicit content filter (I found this out the hard way). I normally look up the lyrics to the songs before I listen to them now, and skip the iffy ones since the filter does not block everything.

Great way to broaden musical horizons
I've discovered so many great bands this way, and you can put a content filter on it that will blur out the really bad words. The mildly bad ones might still pop through.

 
A radio station that plays your favorites.
Great radio station that plays ONLY your favorites, no annoying talk shows, commercials, etc. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Personalized Radio
I use Pandora all the time, it's very useful for discovering new bands and singers.

 
Just stop using this site and go to last.fm
This is the worst music site ever. I mean I will use it when last.fm is down. Pandora is just why to complex to use. You have to click add variety and then type in a band name and then click add and do it all over again. Last.fm allows you to build your library by typing in a band and then click add to library but wait if you go down you can click artists that are similar to the band you looked up and you click on that artist and add them. When you build up your library you can then just play it and then add bands just by playing the recommended or mix radio stations that play music based of what you like. Plus, in last.fm there are almost no ads ( that disrupt your music) and you can skip as many as you like unlike pandora where you only skip 6 songs and have like 3 ads (that do disrupt your music). Last.fm is the best music site ever.

Contains songs for all ages and music genres.
Every time I get on the computer I log on to Pandora to listen to my favorite music (I'm even listening right now! Ha ha!) : everything from Eminem to Disney Songs. You can easily change your settings to block songs with explicit content if you have young children or just don't want to hear it. Even though the site only allows the allotted 40 hours a month, a payment can be made for unlimited music as well as none of the somewhat annoying adds every few songs or when you change stations.

Wonderful radio!
I love it. Pandora radio introduced me to all kinds of new music. Let me explain - you make a "station" with an artist or song you like. Songs that are similar will play. I discovered Tori Amos through Pandora. And to think, I used to think Taylor Swift was a great singer!

The Best Radio Ever
Pandora is a wonderful site. In fact I am listening to it as I write this review. I just love listening to any type of music I am in the mood for. If I feel relaxed and want to listen to classical, I go to classical station. If I am really excited and want rock, I go to one of my rock stations. All of the issues I have highlighted below are all subject to the stations you have and the settings you have chosen. If you or your child is listening to a Lil Jon station or some other nasty rapper, you are certain to get many inappropriate songs. If you are listening to a classical station then you will not get anything inappropriate. The other thing to look out for is it will play explicit rather than clean songs UNLESS you have a certain setting on. The only problem that I have, which is just an opinion, is that I think there are too many advertisements. You can get rid of them if you pay to upgrade to Pandora One which I am not willing to do. Overall this is a great site that really depends on what stations you have to determine whether it is appropriate or not.

awesome for ages 7 and beyond
I love it it is so cool. I have found some very good music on pandora radio. you should sooo go to it! And if you people are worried about inappropriate stuff it only depends on what your listing to and if you listen you the radio you probably have heard a lot of the dirty songs. my dad recommended to me, I had never heard of it before he told me, and now it is one of my favorite sites!

There can be some iffy stuff, but depending on your settings/stations, you should be safe from it!
Well, I absolutely love Pandora. However, depending on your settings and stations people can be exposed to music where people: talk about sexual stuff, cuss, encourage drinking/drugs, etc. BUT you can change that! I mean if you put on a Disney station, there shouldn't be any inappropriate things and you can change the settings (my account then explicit content...) to block that stuff. ALSO: if you want like extremely random songs (varying from new music to Frank Sinatra) type in Party in the USA :D Yeah, that's what I thought too, but it works! :D
