pandora or last fm

Today was a good day in class: we got to do my favorite thing, which is surf the world wide web. Our assignment was to look at Pandora and last fm. Ill tell yall now that I use Pandora a lot so ill try not to just automatically dislike the other site.
Who ever decided to come up with an idea like Pandora was a real smart person. For those of u that have no clue what Pandora or last fm is let me explain: its sort of like an online radio station, except for the fact that you can choose the music that you want to hear. All you do is go to either of the two web sites you have to register for an account. You don’t really have to get an account if you don’t want to, but its free and it makes things a lot easier if you do. You type either the name of the band or song in the search bar, and it creates a radio station for you with that music and anything similar to it for you.
Last fm was pretty much the same thing, you type what you want to hear and it creates a station for you. Now I said that I wasn’t going to automatically pick Pandora over last fm, but I have to. Both of the sites of things that I didn’t like though. I don’t really like the fact that you can’t skip to many songs, I mean why would someone try and force you to listen to something that you don’t want to hear? Also you cant skip more than seven songs an hour, and if u pass a song on accident you cant go back. When you type in a certain song to hear ya it creates the station but the specific song that you wanted to hear doesn’t come on for like an hour. Last fm I think was a pointless website. It doesn’t have as much music as Pandora does by far, and it has all of the same problems as Pandora. There is a lot of good things about the sites though, and I love to listen to them
