No. I'm not sure why last.fm isn't on the top of many lists, and since I haven't used any of the other services (except for Pandora), I'm not sure what the other services offer that last.fm doesn't.

Plus, Last.fm doesn't cut into your songs with ads. AND, it's integrated with your iTunes library. Pandora fails at that.

1 - Slacker, 2 - Pandora For my tastes - alternative indie, adult alt (fringe), jazz - Slacker seems to have better variety. I just started listening to Pandora more this week and I think you have to spend too much time trying to train it. At least that's my experience.
I can't understand why last.fm isn't on the top of many lists?

Pandora. NO CONTEST. Ads can be a bit of a downer, but aren't too intrusive. Bottom line, nobody's better at the balancing act between playing what you already know and finding a variety of other music that hits the right spot. And best of all, a group's or genre's popularity matters not at all in Pandora's Music Genome system, so you don't get stuck with crap just because it's popular at the moment or just because it's been lumped into some scene or other. Pandora radio really is *only* about the music. I've discovered several bands on Pandora that I would never have found otherwise.
Pandora! Listening to my Shinedown station as I write this.

Seriously LaLa.com Hands down. I love Pandora for discovering new music, but LaLa lets you listen to complete songs in their catalog one time for free and forever for 10 cents.
Slacker all the way. More content than Pandora, more customizable, portable access, minimal ads. Best option, all the way around.

Well, let me mention that when I bought my iPhone , I'd just about given up on music. My wife told me about Pandora, and I found it on the App store. Boy howdy!!!! Okay, ac/dc was playing in Walmart, and out in my car I decide on "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap", and I start listening to it. BTW, I'm a 52 yr old plumber who started out with a compaq 3635 about ten years ago. Believe it or not, I'd never listened to an iPod before my iPhone. I like Pandora better than Slacker because you have more control with Pandora. BTW, because of Pandora, and it's bookmarks, hey, I've bought a lot of music from iTunes that I wouldn't have.

Pandora is not a worldwide service, last.fm is not a free service, so I like thesixyone, imeem, blip.fm and grooveshark.
I loved Pandora until they blocked The Netherlands, I loved Last.fm until they required everybody except US, UK & DE to pay for listening, even for music the band I played in put on there for free. Now mostly listen music using Grooveshark, SomaFM or just dutch radio broadcasts that also are streamed.

My favourite: Spotify.
A comment for those, like me, who live in Europe and normally cannot access Pandora or Spotify: There are a couple of VPNs that assign you a UK, or US ip-address so that you can get around the geo-restrictions. What I find ironic about this is: I'm now paying a monthly fee (~ 10 USD) for a VPN - that money could have gone to Pandora or Spotify and I would have been happy to pay it.
