Google wouldn't do anything interesting like that if they bought Pandora. The first thing they would do would be to require a Google+ account to use it, which everyone would hate. Then they would keep changing the UI and the name over and over until no one knew it even existed or what it was called anymore, and then finally they would shut it down.

Google would probably integrate it with their existing play music offering. And I think they've backed off on pushing the Google+ logins due to the backlash.
