Since I burn through my free Pandora account within 2 weeks, and am tired of setting up new accounts, I decided to try Slacker Radio, for which there is an app for my BlackBerry Tour 9630 and I knew nothing about otherwise.
So far: Slacker Radio wins. Slacker groups music together by genre, so if you made a "Pearl Jam" station, it would give you grunge. Alternatively, and a much cooler process, Pandora identifies lots of traits each song or artist has and lumps them together with algorithms a la Match.com. Pandora sounds like it would have the better output, but since Slacker has about 10x more songs in it's library than Pandora I don't end up hearing "The Golden Road to Unlimted Devotion" by Phil Lesh every 10 minutes (even though it rocks.)
Also, Slacker allows you to dictate how far into a genre it delves: deep, the fringe, mainstream, popular, etc...
