I'd very much like to be able to mark an artist as "Never play songs from this artist".

It really subtracts from the radio feature that i get some artists over and over again, no matter how much i thumb them down. Some artists i just NEVER!!! want to appear on my radios, i mean every damned thing that artist has ever done and ever will do, solo, in a band or whatever else thinkable way they could could possibly create music.

Yes, i truly, truly dislike Rihannas music.

I've edited the ideas title and added "from radio" to make it clear that it's different from blocking/hiding artists in a playlist which has been suggested here:

This idea will reflect only the request for an option to "ban" an artist from radio

Agreed! I'm sick of Bon Iver's horrible music popping up! 🙂

This really needs to be added. There are so many "artists" today that are not actually artists or musicians. I would like to be able to block them from ever showing up anywhere, ke$ha especially.

+1 from me!

Would love to see this implemented.

This info about which artists we HATE could also help Spotify personalize their recommendations to their users.

I would like to be able to ban artists from my spotify all-together, because they pop up in other peoples playlists all the time, and i dont even wanna be able to see Justin Bieber og Kesha anymore or hear them.

The block should be as it is on facebook. 🙂

Yes! This is a great idea, PLEASE implement!

I agree but I woud like to see it at both the Artist and Song level. There are artists I like only one or two songs from. If I "thumbs up" those songs, Spotify thinks that I like the Artist and starts giving me the other songs that I don't like in my Radio stream. So, if i could ban those songs and keep the ones I like, it would be great! (Thumbs Up and Down seem to do nothing for me in this case. I have thumbs down'ed a song and it plays again three songs later. It's so aggrivating and it makes me want to go back to Slacker...even with it's crappy new iphone app.)

I definitely agree. This way, I could get rid of tons of horrible workout remixes of songs I like.
