@FPC5150 , along with Pandora, I do a daily post called GSOTD (Genre Songs Of The Day), I also created another one for Explicit music only, both of these post also have a playlist that the selected songs are added to. Obviously one playlist is a clean playlist, and of course the other being explicit only. The reason for doing this is for the little one's. Especially now with this Covid-19, more parents are home with their children, and more children are home due to schools not being in full session. There have been many request for explicit music to be added to the GSOTD post, that is when it was decided to have a second GSOTD post and playlist. Since adding the Explicit only, those that have requested have been absent. So feel free to request your music at anytime, even if it is a full playlist. Thank you for your music you have already submitted. Looking forward to seeing your response. Take care and stay safe.   ... View more
