So I want Pandora to find me songs similar to "Hey Sandy" - Polaris... but it doesn't recognize the song or the artist.

Can someone help me define the genre that this song falls under? 80s/90s hip-rock is what I want to call it. Reguardless, I really want more. I love this sort of music. It just makes me feel good.

Allmusic.com calls it "jangle pop." That sounds correct to me.

Also, the band Polaris was started as a side-project by a member of the jangle pop band Miracle Legion.

I hope this helps.

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out. I'm always looking for new genres of music to get into.
