The option to create a station based on the band “Bring Us the Stars” is grayed out. Can this option be enabled for this band? Thanks!

I'd like to make a radio station based on the song "Countdown to Insanity" by H-Blockx, but the artist is grayed out.

The band "Artist" does not have a station on Pandora. Specifically, the song "Out on the Road Again". https://www.pandora.com/artist/artist/out-on-the-road-again-single/out-on-the-road-again/TRmp56rw5d4...

Da Do Run Run by The Crystals gives me the same error.

Yes I know you'll escalate it but how about an explanation? I'm not liking the sound of this whole "curation" thing. Pandora has been pretty good and the last bastion of free choice in music clients....even though you guys did the whole sub-barrier thing like the other rabble.

[AdamPandora]

@MrGotin You should be able to create a station for that specific track - check out this screenshot for a visual on where you can find the start station icon:

Here is also a link to that specific station: Da Do Ron Ron by The Crystals

Let me know how it goes.

[MrGotin]

I did get it to work. It dawned on me that I'd apparently clicked on the wrong artist because apparently lots of people have done covers and mashups etc..

Still, I don't understand the direction Pandora is going with the curation thing.

"7xvn" artist isn't available to make a station, I can't even add the artist!? Please help! https://pandora.app.link/7ZJhJyOhflb

@Kttn666 I've informed our curation team so they can help look into this further.

Thank you for reporting. 🤝

Artist- Merge

Album- Blind To Triangles

Not available for station. Why?

https://www.pandora.com/artist/play/merge/blind-to-triangles-explicit/AL:10995394

Also, can only find by searching Blind To Triangles. If search Merge, this artist does not come up

Thank you

[AdamPandora]

@mergekola Creating stations based off of an album isn't currently an option.

This being said, I do see the option to create a station for the artist Merge is currently greyed out.

I have escalated this over to our curation team so they can help look into it further.

Thank you for reporting this. 🤝

The artist- Michael Hughes Watson I cannot start a new station with the button is greyed out,

It says "Can't start a new station for the artist."

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for reporting, @Bullswimming. 🤝

I'll check in with our curation team about this one as well.
