Yes, you can do this.
I just finally got on the bandwagon with Pandora Radio (www.pandora.com). This is a totally cool web based music radio station that you literally create yourself. You are able to choose songs or artists that you like, and a 'station' resembling a continuous playlist will play tunes from the artists you select as well as tunes that have similar characteristics. As each song plays, you can give it the tumbs up to keep it in rotation on your station or the thumbs down to ban it from the playlist. Presumably, as time goes on, your station will get better and better as the computer hones in on what music exactly suits your taste.
This is my first day using it, but it is super cool and is playing a bunch of stuff that I like. And what was my first station called? 'New Wave Radio' - of course!

I recently discovered Slacker and love it. Similar idea to Pandora but more genre stations (including 80s Hits and a great 80s Alternative station), ability to make stations based on one artist or as many artists as you want as well as fine tuning settings based on music discovery, popularity, etc.
Also, they have a new portable player that gives you the ability to take your Slacker radio stations wherever you go.
If you want, give it a try and see what you think. BTW - It's also free.

Thanks for posting this 80'smom! I asked a friend of mine who I know listens to radio on his computer, if he knew about pandora and he didn't. He went and checked it out and HE LOVES IT! He said he had been using a Firefox radio toolbar and it would play rap when he selected country, and so on. I told him I found it on your blog, so he told me to tell you thank you! : )
