I've never paid them a dime and don't care about their politics, yet they've helped me find dozens of artists and songs I'd never heard before, which is no small task for a music nerd like me. I just browse my Favorites/ThumbsUps from time to time and go grab the songs themselves at stores/online, add them to my collection and move on. Sometimes I go weeks, even months, without using it, but over the last many years it's been fantastic.

I had no idea they had any drama or haters - so to speak. (shrug)

ditto on Pandora, tho I do listen to it quite a bit,

could care less about their politics,
honestly if I was worried about a bands politics, I would mostly be listening to nothing,

found a lot of good music thru Pandora, and will continue to use it,

I'm going to try Spotify and Pandora. Never used them before.

A lot of here dropped Pandora because of

But if you get something out of their service, that's your decision and I'm just making you aware. Not trying to be that guy. Go for it if you like it.

And I guess I'm old school, Bob Marley.

I love Bob (cue the weed jokes), and Bunny, and The Whailers, and Peter Tosh (who co-wrote Get Up Stand Up with Bob and is perhaps most famous for Legalize It), and Augustus Pablo (his collection of early to mid 70s singles - entitled Original Rockers - is solid), and Barrington Levy (see Under Me Sensi, Broader than Broadway), etc. Not all are danceable in the same sense but they're all Island Music - some Roots Reggae and the beginnings of all of this - and they're all good at what they do.
