Genius and Pandora are quite different. They have some overlap in functionality, but at it's core Genius is about the music you already know and have. It's more about solving the paradox of choice that occurs when you have a large music library than it is a recommendation and discovery engine.

Actually, Genius doesn't recognize most of the music I have, and Pandora can set up stations with long lists of artists and songs.

My library is large and varied enough I no longer use either. But I preferred Pandora.
