I've been enjoying it enough for almost a year now and may soon upgrade out of "freeloader" status. It's exposed me to many artists and instrumentals that I never would have otherwise had exposure to. Not perfect but beats turning a dial.

AOL Radio has a 'surf rock' channel that isn't too bad.

Last few songs were:
Scalped - Dick Dale
The Lonely Bull - 3 Balls of Fire
Church Key - Original Surfaris
Good Cop Bad Cop - Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet
Spanish Wave - Susan and the Surftones

I remember starting out with Netscape Radio, which had an amazing surf station. Then Netscape was gone and replaced with AOL Radio. I've tried Pandora too, but I kind of dislike the song selection, at least for surf. I think AOL Radio had a better selection, and "Surf Rock" meant Surf Rock. On Pandora you have to sort of tailor the station to have a surf rock station. From what I've experienced when using it, it's a bit too limited. I found it to be helpful with other genres though. I've tailored a pretty good Jangle Pop and Power Pop station.

People in my office know that Friday afternoon is surf guitar time. I've got pandora channels for Los Straitjackets and the Bel-Airs. The problem with the pandora is you can get a run where it seems everyother song is a different band playing their version of Mr Moto.

Hello all. I am new here, but do have some input... you will wish I shut up.
Pandora is great and so is lastfm. However, I have found the Mutant surf from live 365 to be totally fantastic!!! If that is not yuor cup of sludge, then may I suggest one of the other surf stations from live 365? Some is more oldies driven. At least this is all good for a change... ok, done. See ya! G
