Actually as a long-time Pandora user who switched to Spotify for about 6 months ... and then switched back, I promise you Spotify is not exactly like Pandora. Spotify's radio station algorithm will play the same 20 songs over and over and over again. You can create new stations, but there's no way to combine them in to one station or listen to a mix of all of them (both things you can do on Pandora).

So both services will let you make a station based off an artist, but Pandora's will have more variety and (far more importantly) Pandora will let you create multi-artist stations and let you play a mix of all of your stations. Spotify can't do either.

Also, Spotify mixes censored music in with normal music far more than Pandora, which is really annoying. Really the only thing Spotify has going for it is it's ability to hear specific songs (which you can just do on Youtube), and a slightly wider library (which doesn't matter when you can only hear a very small number of songs on any one station).

Of course, nowadays I spend at least half my listening time in the Project 1999 room of Plug.dj [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
