Pandora is a streaming music service that recommends music based on data identified by the Music Genome Project. Music in the genome project is tagged with a bunch of attributes. Usually, they have a lot to do with the style of music, tonality, time signature, and so on. Evidently, they occasionally branch out to include things like “great lyrics,” as seen above. I’m curious as to how, precisely, “great lyrics” are defined in the Genome (particularly since the majority of the other tags are very objective).
