190. My second post. A friend sent me a link to http://www.liveplasma.com/ , which is a slick infographic site that allows you to enter a band you like and then branches out to find related music. Think of it as a visual version of Slacker or Pandora. Not related to the contest, but it almost certainly can help you choose a seed artist or two to refine your Slacker stations better!

     P.S. – It also does movies!
