I agree it's stupid. Pandora says due to licensing issues they can't make it predictable, but then why make it an option to build a station based on a specific artist or song? I think it's more of a way to force us to use their already-existing stations, but honestly, if that's the case, there's no need to use them when Spotify already does the same thing. What attracts us to use Pandora is the option and supposed ability to build a station of our own based on a specific song's vibe/sound or an artist's vibe/sound. Basically, if I build a station based on Jingle Bells, they can't gauranteed it won't be three years before that song ever got played. It defeats the purpose of the ability.
If it doesn't narrow it down, then what is the use of the function? May as well cancel Pandora and just use Spotify if the 'build your own station' thing is so flawed.
