I could use a little Pandora assistance. I've defined a bunch of stations, and one of them is songs of the 1960s. This station plays lots of fun songs, so I decided to try the same thing for the 1970s, but I'm getting lots of kind'a morose music, here's the URL:
The groups I used to define the station are:
America
Billy Joel
Bonnie Raitt
Edward Bear
Gilbert O'Sullivan
Gordon Lightfoot
Hurricane Smith
Jackson Browne
John Denver
Joni Mitchell
Journey
Leo Sayer
Pure Prairie League
Queen
The Band
The Eagles
The Grateful Dead
The Manhattan Transfer
Wings
Can anyone suggest a few groups to improve the mood a bit?

Jimmy Buffet. Or you could add Leonard Cohen and everything else will sound much more up beat.

Hi Percy,
Your list is entirely too white.
How about some Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone or Ohio Players? Also, you can't get much more positive than some of those anthemic Bob Marley numbers.

Hey, it listened to you without me doing anything! It just started playing something by Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan on backup. And the previous song was Bob Marley!
Thanks for the suggestions!

Yep, it's played a couple Neil Diamond songs, but the morose ones like Solitary Man and Longfellow Serenade, but that was a while ago. Things seem to be pickin' up lately!

Boston, good one!

They began in the late 70's, but I suggested it for pandora 'cause it'll lead to other good bands.
