I need a new music station app

[sorrel]

I've tried Spotify for a few months but I'm tired of listening to like 12 trash artists that I've never heard of and never favorited in order to listen to one song by an artist that I do like. If I want to listen to artists and songs that I've never heard of then yeah it's great, but unfortunately that's not what I want to do.

Pandora's kind of got it right, I am able to shuffle and listen to the exact artists I want, but on the app the only way you can add artists is by tapping the play track button and only then after the music is playing are you able to access the favorite button. If it had a quick add for stuff like that I'd be set. Close but no cigar.

I've tried Tidal and Google music and they only have their playlists and or the ability to listen to just one artists station at a time. Like why would I want to listen to u2 24/7?

So essentially I'm looking for an app where I can add multiple artists, shuffle and listen to a mix of all their songs together.

if you want live stations, go with siriusxm, they have over 100 varying channels and is cheap. if you want a custom station where you pick your own artists, stick to spotify and make a new account, then start listening to different artists for hopefully better suggestions.

I have sirrus xm in my car but I'm not really a fan of it, I've looked through their station brochure thingy that came with it and their stations are kind of meh. Especially the station that plays mostly Eminem straight. I do like his music but not to listen to 24/7 straight, need some variety.

what genres do you like? if you like pop from the 70 - 90s, channel 7, 8, 9, 25/26 and 27 are your best bets. are probably the ones for you. if you prefer more modern pop/rap, go for channel 40/41 i think, if you like rock i have a few stations but the only ones that come to mind are 38 and 39 (im listening to ozzy's boneyard rn)

I like alt rock and some pop but only specific singers/bands and I'd only want to listen to those specific people so like I'd create a list like
Twenty one pilots
Awolnation
Green day
Weezer
Imagine dragons
Super organism
All American rejects
Coldplay
Arcade fire
Etc
Where I would only want to listen to those bands and no one else's. I'm picky I guess
