Google TV Rocking Out for the Holidays

It's the first week of December -- time to get ready for the holidays! What better way to get into the spirit than to listen to holiday music? And why listen to it on your computer or your iPod when you can listen to it from your TV, which is likely connected to the best speakers in your house? Here are the Google TV team's top music recommendations for Google TV:

1. Pandora* - pick a song or artist you like, and Pandora will magically create an endless playlist of similar music for you.
2. VEVO** - a TV-optimized set of back-to-back HD music videos featuring your favorite artists.
3. Napster* - grab a subscription and get unlimited music.
4. Grooveshark - millions of streaming songs online.
5. Last.fm - stream music and keep a record of what you listen to from any player.
