Don't know how this happened, but I stumbled upon a great music website this afternoon called last.fm
You type in the name of an artist you like and it creates a radio playlist for you comprising tracks from that band plus similar-sounding artists. It's pretty reliable. I plugged in "U2" and it came up with tracks from REM, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and Simple Minds.
You can choose to block certain tracks or highlight your favourites.
I enjoyed listening to Crowded House Radio and actually came across a song by Tim Finn I'd never heard before: the very lush, The Byrds-inspired Straw To Gold. It's from his latest album, The Conversation, which I've somehow overlooked, because it was released in Australia last November! Thank goodness, then, for last.fm because I've been able to listen to the whole thing without actually having to buy it first...
