Okay, so I think Pandora is great for Questlove Supreme, exploring the music of indie artists and getting into musicians and genres that I know nothing about. However, when it comes to my favorites or the greats, like Marvin Gaye, Erykah, or D'Angelo?

Dis sh*t trash.

I swear, every time I get my hair done or go to a little event, someone is playing Pandora or someone's poorly curated Spotify playlist, and I am subjected to listening to what sounds like commercial radio or " for Beginners."

I think my braider was playing Nina Simone Radio this weekend and Pandora only played two popular Nina joints for the first 30 minutes.

I just put it on again to confirm my suspicions. These were the first few selections after the first Nina song played:

Etta James - At Last
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Summertime - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Otis Redding - A Change Is Gonna Come
Nina's Blues - Nina Simone
Etta James - Stormy Weather

This is basic.

To be fair, the songs became a little less predictable as time passed, though some didn't seem appropriate ("Your Heart Is As Black As Night" by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa). Maybe that's because I quickly skipped through the first few selections?

Another observation: Pandora kept playing Billie and Etta rather than more Nina songs.

And far too often it’s only playing the singles.

I’ve got a Pete Rock station that I’ve had for YEARS that is decent but it took a long time to get it there. I feel like they added some new music in the last year or two so it’s gotten a little better. I only use it in the car sometimes these days.

At first it was great. Everytime I put it on it had new tunes, a lot of which I hadn't heard before or had forgotten about.

But then after only a few months (maybe 3-4 tops) it turned into a playlist of the same songs everytime out.

I've had it for so many years that my liked songs are over 5k. when I just wanna rehear shit that will never get old to me I play that thumbprint station.

It also has a decent variety, I would like a Song from Cuban artist Silvio Rodriguez and that led me to Victor Jarra, not sure if I would have gotten to that as easily with out Pandora giving me similar songs.

It does repeat a lot of shit though.

I still ride with it cause I've had it so long.

it's not great for discovering new stuff in a genre that you're already heavy into.

as well as how the music sounds. The last thing I want on the station with all the sex songs are songs about breaking up.

When you do it by a song it's much much much more better.
They really do have the best algorithm.

the playlist will still get repetitive but I just keep making new ones based on songs. Sometimes it shoots off in different directions, which I like

Sooo what kinda braids did you get
