I actually just noticed that. Last.fm has changed a lot recently...
The other big difference is that because last.fm is tabulated statistically, you're much more likely to have all of the "big" matches be large groups you already knew about, and either knew that you did or didn't like. I like that now you can get rid of suggestions, but once you get rid of the ones like that, you're often left with suggestions that are only barely related, not anything strange. So I guess you could say that Pandora is more likely to expose you to music you've never heard of, while last.fm is more likely to make accurate suggestions, whether or not you've already heard the group...
