Hi there, @mrschwarz. 👋
Genre stations, such as "60s,70s, and 80s Hits" are stations created and curated by Pandora. Sometimes, they might include more mainstream artists and songs or we may make changes to the station that can result in changes to the experience you've been accustomed to. You can always use Thumbs to help guide the station you are trying to create.
I would recommend checking out the modes on that station too.
With Pandora Modes, you can take your stations in a variety of directions:
My Station: The station you already know and love
Crowd Faves: Plays whichever relevant songs are the most popular
Discovery: Surfaces artists who don’t usually play on this station
Deep Cuts: Delve deeper into the discographies of the artists on your station
Newly Released: The newest releases from the artists featured on your station
If the station isn't going in the direction you'd like, feel free to create a custom station based on artists that you feel best fit that genre / decade. From there, you may Add Variety to the station you create, in order to include other artists or songs you'd like to influence your station. Keep in mind, each seed you add will inspire hundreds of other songs, so a little variety goes a long way. If you don't like the direction your station is headed, you can always edit your station seeds and Thumbs through the Station Details.
Hope to see you around the community space more often. 🎧
