The all time GOAT IMO is a station created from the song "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Foundations. It has never played a bad song for me, ever, after nearly 7 years of listening to it.

The John Denver station is pretty good as well.

Jimmy Buffet station can be pretty good but also a tad hit or miss in the sense of it plays a good bit of Bob Marley and I don't personally see Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley going together.

What are your favorite stations?

Yes, a great station. Pandora does a pretty damn good job of playing great mixes.

Spotify's radio function sucks and repeats a shitload. Never been too fond of it and they only play some of the absolute most popular songs by an artist.

Led Zeppelin is a great station.

Govt Mule radio is my favorite. A lot of guitar centric rock/bluesy stuff without the 15 minute drawn out jams.

Well that's just like your opinion man....FWIW the actual song very rarely gets played on the station.

The two best I've found are a Robert Earl Keen station, and a Miles Davis station.

On another note, the stand up comedy station is actually damn good too on Pandora.

I usually just cycle through full stand up acts on youtube. Does pandora do full shows just bits?

It is just bits, but they do a good job of picking the decent ones. Typically if I hear one I haven't heard before and I like it I will just go on either Spotify or youtube and find the full act.

Left off Peter Gabriel and 80's Pop Radio, though the latter took a lot of thumbs upping and downing to fine tune it. But I'm a child of the 80's so it may not suit everyone.

There used to be a station called either "Stand Up" or "Stand Up Comedy" so it is more like a genre. The thumbs up and thumbds down feature really helps here because it got rid of ones i didnt like entirely. It plays a lot of Mitch Hedberg which is awesome
