My gripe with Pandora is that it’s exceptionally good at finding music that has many technical similarities to what I like while managing to completely not be something I’d actually like. The “music genome” is a noble idea and all, but it really highlights the superficialities of their methods in qualifying music. I’d venture a guess that connecting bands solely by the scene and social connections they came from is a way better predictor of musical tastes than musical qualities.
