"At least half the mystery novels published violate the law that the solution,
once revealed, must seem to be inevitable."
--Raymond Chandler--

I've been building my Pandora music channel. The following list is what I've given the "thumbs up" (forgive the dates; I can't figure out an easy way to get rid of them), copied from the list kept by Pandora. Of course, this isn't everything I like, just what Pandora has offered me so far.
I've requested a few specific things that Pandora apparently does not "stock", like David Bowie's Ground Control to Major Tom, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. I also have a few Mid-eastern things I like, but no go (even though Pandora has oodles of African stuff).
Well, this is a start.

I love "Iz". What a shame we lost him so soon.
There are some songs I never want to hear again in my life and "American Pie" is one of them. It's just because I've heard it so much.
And once upon a time, Pandora was throwing so much CCR and John Fogarty at me that I had to click thumbs-down every time they played it.
What's interesting about "American Pie" is that you can always tell when it's on the radio in the car next to you at a traffic light --- everybody in the car is singing (and bopping) along.
You have all the story songs - Harper Valley PTA, BAttle of New Orleans - did I mis Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?
The list is only those things Pandora offered me and I clicked Yes. Maybe "Wreck" hadn't been offered yet.
You can seed music by requesting it, and I have requested Alice's Restaurant and Ode to Billie Joe several times, but I guess maybe Pandora doesn't have access to them. Otherwise you'd see them on the list, too.
Do you have a free or paid Pandora account? I bought Ed a paid account and they offer a wider selection of music that way.
Free.
Pandora feeds me so much stuff I don't like and have to suffer through for the one in ten I do like that I am not encouraged to pay for it. I keep hoping that at some point they'll just play my likes.
I rarely "like" or "dislike" something on Pandora and they play exactly what I want to hear. I just pick the bands I want and they play that stuff. I'd suspect that all that tinkering with the settings is what is messing things up.
It's $36/year.
If I'm going to pay for an audio subscription, I'd get Sirius for the house. I love it in the car (but I suspect then I'd listen to very little music anyway).
