Pandora takes bands/songs you like, and plays other bands/songs you may like based upon why you like the original band/song. You don't get to obsessively build the playlist with your precise set of favorites, but I find that it's internet radio that plays the kind of music I like. And it's great for finding new bands.

Music Unlimited as I've found their discography to be quite extensive and complete (in this case it has both the songs you listed). They've done a very good job of getting the popular songs within artist's discographies even if they can't the entire discography (e.g. Escape). The other nicety is that it's cheaper than the other services, it's more stable than other services, the UI is pretty good (better than Napster's was a couple of years ago), has nice integration with music videos and reviews on Yahoo! Music, but it does require a free separate player. May I strongly suggest you take a look at Yahoo!
