I have had this issue happen with two different stations with two different bands. Station 1 was seeded with several bands including what I will call band 1. This is not the initial seed but was an additional seed added later. I played this station for almost a year and never once did it play the seeded band. Station 2 was created because station 1 would not play band1. I added other bands without adding band 1 and station 2 plays band 1. I added band 2 to station 2 after a few other band seeds. After 3 months of not hearing a song from band 2 i seeded it with a particular song from the band...nothing from that band for 2 months but one song. I tried several modes including deep cuts with no success. Out of desperation I added a third seed that was a collaboration album that included band 2. Now all of a sudden band 2 is playing but not as frequently as other selections are. I have heard a total of 5 songs by this band since I created and added this band to the station over 5 months ago. Pandora seems to just decide I don't want you to hear this particular band on this stations and just doesn't play it... What can I do to ensure a band I have seeded my station with will actually play that band.
