Anyone avoiding iTunes Match and just doing things the traditional way?

Do you mean stream music you haven't bought?

The person that posted this does not understand the meaning of the term stream.

Streaming music or video means that you're downloading the file and listening or watching it as it is downloaded. The way iTunes match worked previously, was that you actually had to download the music to your device before you could listen to it. Now you can just hit play and it starts playing without actually setting up any downloads. That is streaming.

Both of those services are pop heavy, no matter how you try to slice it, you just never hear any of the b side stuff or non top charing tracks. If you like pop and only the radio played stuff, then so services are great, otherwise they just dont offer up enough variety. Again, also the cost of streaming when on cellular data is ridiculous.

free on pandora and $10 a month w/ spotify

I was saying the data cost of streaming, not the service cost.
