How do you find music that you actually like? (favorite bands, single)

I use a pair of vibration-sensing proto-ears. I dunno, maybe I'm old fashioned.

And if none of the previous advice helps you, try Pandora.

When I lived in Australia there was this cool National station called Triple J... picked up alot of music from that station...

Now that I am in commercial radio hell, suprisingly, I haven't picked anything up from radiohead listening at all...

Apart from a hatred of Pablo Honey, I should think not...

Not if you don't happen to be American.
I would listen to lucifer_sam, however, or try last.fm

Did I say radiohead... sh1t! I meant radio.... and this is the point at which I feel like I just wrote a speech for George W. Bush, and I realise I need more sleep....hmmm...

I love gigfreaks.com
They recommend music and concerts, based on a single artist!
Worked for me - this is how I've found cool bands like wolf parade and deerhunter!

Friends w/ similar tastes usually do the trick for me.

Last.fm is pretty good...
