How to block songs or artists?

Is there any way to block or stop certain songs or artists from being played on your feed?  I am almost at the point of deleting the pandora app for good because is lacks the functionality like Spotify.  I have thumbed down many of the songs or songs of specific artists that are just horrible and the stupid program still wants to play them.

@Ericotherspot Thanks for writing in. If you give consistent Thumbs-down to an artist on a given station, Pandora should learn to stop playing that artist on that station.

Please note that thumb ratings are station specific. Giving a Thumbs-down to a song on one station will not prevent it from playing again on another station.

We do not offer an option to prevent an artist from playing on your account or specific stations, but I have noted your feedback as a feature request.

Of course, if you have added this artist or one of their songs as a seed on that station, or ever Thumbed them up on that station, you would have to remove these seeds or Thumbs first.

I hope this helps. Happy listening!
