Last.fm and Pandora Are Failing Me Now. What Are Some Similar Songs to These, R&P?

Question by Me: Last.fm and Pandora are failing me now. What are some similar songs to these, R&P?
1. “For You” by Tracy Chapman

Normally this kind of music (and vocals) is uninteresting to me, but I’ve really been digging Tracy’s music for the past few months. This song tops the list. I keep getting suggestions of country-ish songs though and I don’t care for that.

2. Kodomo – “Spira Mirabilis”

I’m VERY picky with electronic music. I’m not sure what I’m looking for but a similar example here would be “Haiku” by Agoria . For some reason these songs remind me of airports?

3. Bo Burnham – “Rehab Center For Fictional Characters”

I’ve been listening to a lot of music-comedy acts lately, BB is my favorite so far. Who else should I try? Dane Cook and Stephen Lynch = thumbs down.

BQ: What’s R&P’s general consensus on Tracy Chapman? I’ve listened to her first four albums, is number 5 (Telling Stories) good?

Best answer:

Answer by Music Man: The Legend is in love
not a fan of Tracy Chapman; Only electronic I regularly listen to is Infected Mushroom. Dane Cook is shit, but I rather like Stephen Lynch. If you want witty musical comedy, check out Tim Minchin:

Tom Lehrer (famous for The Periodic Table of Elements song)

One of my personal favorites, but you might not get all of their songs, The Arrogant Worms:
