re-sorting
After getting bored with the selection that Pandora was offering me, switching back to listening to the radio, and finding that to be just different, not better, I decided to do something about it. No, don't get you're hopes up, I just meant deleting my stations from pandora and making new ones with different seeds.
In this process I was given confermation (at least, it's confirmation as long as Pandora;s algorithims have any validity to them) of a fact I long suspected: The songs I hate most have a lot in common with the songs I like. While I can understand what musical similarities caused Cake, Pantera, and 50 Cent to each keep coming up on some of the new staions, (at least until I "thumbs down" enough of their songs) I can't remove the seeds that are triggering them without removing some music I do like.
I suppose this is why I usually define my musical tastes as "eclectic." This way people are less surprised when I, for example, like goth band A but disslike goth band B.
