Default Pandora Radio

I've been listening to Pandora regularly, mostly electric blues. Create a station and it plays similar music. The Bonamassa station is really good. Many artist I've never heard of. Lots of good guitar and young talent. There's still hope for good music. As I type this Kenny Wayne Shepard is playing.

I listen to it occasionally. It does a good job of selecting similar artists.

Sirris XM 50's on 5 is the cat's meow. But my favorite remains the 40's Junction.

Have ALexa and will put on Hotel Costas from Pandora, different beat. Seems easy listening, some of the oldie stations or mowtown on Pandora are good also. Larry

What are you listening on? I'm so used to listening on digital computer equipment that when I go out to my garage and crank up a 30 year old Sony 100 watt amp and some Bose 301 speakers it sounds like my cd's are live and loud. Punchy bass, crystal clear treble, no comparision to even good computer speakers.

On my desktop I do have some amplified speakers that do a decent job as long as I'm sitting in the middle of the triangle. Sirius XM, #60 outlaw country, Elizabeth Cook is my favorite dj.

I enjoy Pandora while cleaning and working on guns, working in the yard, garage and workshop. I mostly like the Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman & Frank Sinatra channels but do listen to others as well.

While I do receive Pandora in the Car also, I usually listen to Serius/XM 40's Junction, Old Time Radio Classics, 60's, 70's and The Bridge. Once in a while I'll listen to Classic Vinyl too.

I too listen to Pandora frequently. Blue-toothed into my truck, it's usually kind of nice. Until I drive through one of the many dead zones here in western PA. Then it gets talked to.

One other gripe that I've got with Pandora is the inability to remove a genre of music or musician from your station after you've added it.

A while back one of my sons talked me into listening to the Abbott Brothers. Well, at first I sort of liked them. After a while they transmogrified into the Whiney Brothers. Despite thumbs-downing almost every song of theirs that occasionally comes onto my station, they still show up. They just don't seem to get it. I suspect that Pandora must get some sort of kickback for playing them.

Lesson learned: segregate your genres.

We let our satellite sub expire since Pandora is so good.

My fav that I've created is "Ozark mnt daredevils" station. Plays a good mix of southern rock sprinkled with outlaw country.

When driving to work and to instill a calm before everything hits the fan I created "country hymns radio" Classics from Ralph Stanley, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, etc.
