I resubscribe for another year, and you stop putting this weird shit on my Clutch station. Keep it up and I’m going back to Slacker...

Pandora rule one: the more popular the artist, the more the artist’s station will have been polluted by shitheads trying to turn it into top 40. AC/DC, for example. Do you even have the vaguest chance of hearing Rose Tattoo, despite being Australian pub rock and similar in nearly every way? Fuck no. AC/DC Pandora thinks your bitch ass would prefer Elton John.

Billy Joel is just a thinner Rick Harrison that can play piano.

Google play isn’t much better, “Oh you’re listening to 60’s rock? Here, let me play Nickleback for you”. God dammit...

I’ve found with Pandora the best thing is to find what’s close to what you like and more obscure, so that you get the style match without the boneheads dicking with it. In the above, that would be Rose Tattoo to get lots of Saxon and AC/DC and other “cock rock”, not AC/DC. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, people who actually like *that* will have made the station even better. My go-to, as an example: UFO Radio on Pandora to get UFO, the early Scorpions, Montrose, Michael Schenker, 70s Judas Priest, and even early Maiden. Practically nothing getting any radio play of any kind, and anybody bothering to listen to UFO these days tends to have a reasonably discerning taste in late 70s hard rock.

But at least google play gives near infinite personal storage. If you upload a big enough collection I’ve found their instant mix algorithm to be acceptable. Then again that’s probably because I don’t clutter my collection with things I could almost certainly hear by turning on any given radio station...

Yeah, I’ve had to go more granular in my music playlists to get away from the dumbasses. I have better success listening to The Kinks radio station than I do listening to 60’s Rock radio.

Try the Small Faces if you want to get more granular still.

Don’t get me wrong, I have whole categories of things I listen to. My favorite bands that nobody has ever heard of? The Electric Prunes and The Creation . Then again, the crossover zone between SF psychedelic and mod pretty much disappeared entire within years. The UFO category is a very concise one and one of my favorites, though.

In 6th grade math class, I doodled a picture of me shooting Billy Joel in the neck with a harpoon gun while he went “ACK ACK ACK!” On the back of a quiz.

My teacher gave me 5 extra points.

I just love classic rock/metal - I’ve got XM and I love the Ozzy’s Boneyard Channel because its a catch-all for that kind of stuff, and it’s gotten me listening to Scoprions, UFO, Rose Tattoo, etc. Not to mention their standard lineup of Sabbath, AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Priest, and Maiden.

My favorite bands right now are Opeth, Ghost, and Purson. I saw Purson open for Ghost a couple months ago - if you haven’t heard of them, it’s like Jefferson Airplane meets Black Sabbath. Psychedelic feel with some metal inspired riffage.

I saw Purson open for Ghost

If the show wasn’t called “ Possession” or “ The Channeling” there was a missed opportunity, broheim. A big one.

“Nickelback walked into a bar. There is no joke, there is nothing funny about ruining music.” -Dave Grohl

Allegedly, I can’t confirm or deny that is an actual quote, but it’s still awesome.

I feel like that is something Dave Grohl would totally say.
