Years ago, the first song I entered in Pandora was Pink Floyd "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", hoping they'd follow it with songs of mystery and mood.
The next song Pandora played was Captain & Tenille "Love Will Keep Us Together"

The spotify playlist for "Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is weird in that it picks songs with vaguely similar aspects, except not the aspects that make Set the Controls actually interesting

ok, in keeping with the theme of the thread, my "set the controls" playlist, off the top of my head:
chico hamilton quintet - blue sandsom - pilgrimageoneida - people of the norththe slits - earthbeat/wedding songblues control & laraaji - awakening day
you decide
