If you are actively selecting your music (if you have access to the device you are streaming the music from) it can really fine tune your stations.
I particularly like the "why was this song chosen?" feature of Pandora -- gives you insight into what type of music you enjoy.
I use Pandora at work, at home and during my commute home (iPhone tethered to my car stereo via mini stereo jack). Pandora has introduced me to some of my favorite songs and groups, such as Kaskade, Morgan Page, and Deadmau5. (Check out Kaskade's Fire in your New Shoes, or Mogran Page's Fight for You, or Deadmau5's Moar Ghosts 'n' Stuff for the type of music I'm into these days...)
Sorry for the tangent...

Interesting Z-man, because I have a channel just like this. My kids can't understand why I like it but I always have since Kraftwerk. Daft Punk, Deadmau5. This music if good but there is a lot of crap they put on. Same formula for many songs (drum beat, girls vocal comes in, and then they raise the pitch
) My work place is more difficult because I am trying to make a station that is modern, good, but not offensive. I think it is more Dependant on the seed artist then thumbs up or down. I have the feed to my server on all my workstations so I can open the screen an give a quick thumbs up or down. Then I will review the list when I have more opportunity, but I generally review every track. It is working out, far better then any XM stations avoiding repetition.
