Today’s Hard Rock Station is endlessly repetitive
Five Finger Death Punch. Skillet. Ghost. “Hey guys, this is whoever from Seether.” Skillet. Linkin Park. 3 Days Grace. Skillet. Repeat.
There are no modes beyond *only* listen to Five Finger Death Punch, and I’ve upvoted upwards of thirty songs so from my end I’ve done everything to get a good variety going but no dice.
While I get the whole adding variety yourself bit, this isn’t my station, this is Pandora’s Today’s Hard Rock station. I’m listening to this exactly to listen to things I might otherwise not listen to or even know existed.
Is Pandora getting paid by the studios to push certain songs and bands after the Sirius buyout? Because part of the reason I switched from traditional radio to pandora back in 07, and then from Sirius back to Pandora in ‘19, was to get away from the whole ‘play this song over and over again until they like it.’ Downvoting songs means nothing when pandora will then just try the same tactic with other songs, sometimes taking songs I actually do like and playing them over and over again until I can’t stand the song anymore.
Pandora has a massive net. There’s no reason a pandora curated station like Today’s Hard Rock should be so limited- especially when the station defines ‘today’ as anything in the past 30 years. I’m fine with it playing the hits of 92 followed by chart toppers from 2015 so long as its not the same 6 bands over and over again.
