Not hearing the main artist on my station

[MusicFan0679]

Why put the main artist if pandora isn't going to play that artist. Pandora plays everything BUT what you want to hear...maybe two songs before an ad pops up...can pandora do better???

I agree bro. They never do anything, I swear I’ll use my skips and then they play the most atrocious song known to man

@MusicFan0679 We understand that it's frustrating not to hear the song or artist that you've seeded a station with, but there's no way to control when or how often particular songs or artists will play on free Pandora or Pandora Plus, so it's not possible to create a station and hear that track play right away (though it could happen by chance). Because of our licenses, we have to limit the predictability of a certain song or artist from playing on those services.
