DnD music station on Pandora?

I just started my attempt at a music station on Pandora for DnD appropriate music. The jukebox is nice but I thought a little spontaneity would keep things fresh, not to mention suggest music I hadn't heard of or considered. So far my station has had...mixed success. Pandora hasn't quite figured out what I'm looking for yet. I added in Misty Mountain from the Hobbit, The Bard Song from Van Canto (I like their version best), some celtic songs, other stuff, and some other instrumental tracks. Has anyone else tried something like this? How did it work out? Have you made a station aimed toward a different tabletop? Also, I wouldn't mind suggestions.
We always used Godspeed You Black Emperor as a seed for Pandora in my last group, they have long songs that always seamed to come to a chrechendo of epicness just as the battle was getting intense.  The only issue I had with using Pandora was that it was unpredictable, I've used Spotify or Grooveshark with mixed opinions.
My live group uses a channel that I think is called "Midnight Syndicate" to great effect.
Things took a great turn for the better when I added in something with a lute. Much more appropriate music now.
How would you get Pandora to play to all your players?
I suppose you could just have it playing and they'd hear it through the audio chat. But I started this station for me. Playing it for others is only a secondary thought. Edit: I looked at the options on Pandora and you can have other people listen to your stations if you choose to. So that shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah Midnight Syndicate is amazing...
