There should be a toggle in our profile that allows us to remove versions of songs we don't like account-wide. There should be a live, acoustic, remix, and instrumental toggle in our profile. The reason this feature is needed is because the current thumbs rating system doesn't prevent bands we like from being "banned" from our station if we hear three versions of a song we don't like before hearing a version we do like, thus banning the band from our station. The other reason this feature is needed is because search results aren't tied to a station. I used my Google Nest to search songs, and the vast majority of the time, I get a version I don't like. If I'm doing a search, I want to hear the song, but I absolutely loathe live versions, and I hate acoustic versions. If we had a toggle that effected what is played account-wide, none of us would have these issues, and people would be happier with Pandora.

This! SO much this! The toggle should be account-wide and the toggles should be for live, remix, AND acoustic versions of songs! Edit: I'm reading all of the feedback on this, and I finally came across a post from someone from the company. The reason this isn't implemented yet is because they think that using the thumb rating system, it will work itself out. Talked to customer service, they think the same thing. IT ISN'T THE SAME THING. The thumbs rating does NOTHING for search results because search results aren't tied to a station. We want something account-wide so it never comes up on search results. It also won't "ban" a band that we like because we heard 3 versions of songs we don't like before getting a studio version of the song from a band we actually DO like. This option is NEEDED on our profile page. If it was just stations, I would agree with Pandora, but this isn't just about stations. It's about getting rid of versions we don't like without running the risk of never hearing a band we DO like because Pandora is just FULL of versions of the same song. It's about getting rid of versions from search results when using a service like Google Home, Amazon Echo, etc. I hope I conveyed the importance of this option.
