Last FM

Okay, so I generally suck at anything having to do with the internet. Back home, we still have dial up and I had dial up while growing up (yeah it sucked). The only video I watched growing up was basically the kitty cat dance over and over because most of them took about 2 hours or so to load.
Anyway, I'm probably a million years too late, but I just signed up for a last fm account after my friend told me how awesome it was.
Really, I don't understand sites like these. It took me awhile to understand pandora and I hate using it. What's the point in having an ipod and itunes if you can just listen to a bands radio online? last fm seems like a fabricated pandora and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Maybe someone can explain what's so great about it besides "discovering" other bands....all they've done for me so far was suggest bands that I have already listened to or that I don't like. Good job, internetz.
In all honesty though, I LOVE MYSPACE. Not for "friends" so much anymore, but it's arguably one of the best things that has happened to the music industry. I love having any bands songs at my fingertips to listen to a few times before I decide whether or not I want to incorporate them into my iTunes library. It's also a great way to find out about new bands. I don't think I would trade myspace music for last.fm anyday.
