Recommendations:
Based off of our findings, it does appear you were listening on the Newly Released Mode in a few instances. This was likely done without you knowing, so I would recommend to ensure that you have the My Station Mode set when listening to your collected stations.
I also recommend that you continue to use thumbs to help craft your station.
Pandora stations adapt with every song to try to find the right music for your stations. Without Thumb info, however, Pandora has to guess what songs you like or don't like, which can often lead to the problem you've described. Keep in mind, Thumbs are station specific, so please feel free to Thumb up and down accordingly. Giving a Thumb rating on one station will not affect any of your other stations. This also means that you can use Thumbs to craft the sound you are trying to achieve and vary the playlists from station to station. For example, you might want to give a song you like a Thumb Down if you think it will bring in a certain type of music you'd prefer to not have on that station. Don't be afraid to rate songs (you can always edit your stations later if you don't like the direction your station is going or if you'd like to mix things up).
Hope this helps!
