Haha, same. I used to work in a music equipment rental warehouse that was staffed by musicians and all day we would be curating and training our favorite Pandora stations. If a bad song came on the person closest to the computer would scan the warehouse to see how many of us were giving that song a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and train the algorithm according to our votes.
The trouble was, despite our diligent training and curation of many Pandora stations, any station remotely related to rock would eventually converge on Morrissey. It got so bad that whenever a Morrissey song would play you could hear shouts of protest from across the warehouse and it would be immediately downvoted with extreme prejudice.
Nevertheless it would keep feeding us Morrissey so the joke among us became “All stations lead to Morrissey”.
- smrq 3y agoI feel like many (most?) people who used Pandora extensively have a similar story, although curiously it never seems to be the same band. My fixed point was Radiohead's Karma Police, specifically. I wonder if your personal Pandora fixed point says something about you...
