Pandora should not default to re-release dates because it steals the credit from the original artist and their ability to make a living by potentially selling their original album.&nbsp; Hiding the name of the original Album &amp; its release date disregards the history and story behind the music as well. I also find it incredibly insulting to the musicians &amp; songwriters that most music on Pandora has no lyrics included which disregards a huge creative aspect to songwriting. It also diminishes the listeners enjoyment because we cannot learn the words or sing along while listening to a song if we don't know the lyrics already.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:52:17 GMT bertdanger 2026-07-10T15:52:17Z https://community.pandora.com/t5/Community-Chat/Hiding-original-Record-Release-Dates-amp-Lyrics-Destroys-Music/m-p/206277#M31349 <P>I know my music history and when artists 1st released a track.
