To back up what's already been said, you could use another service to create playlists then use a service like SongShift to replicate it on your platform.
A word of caution though. It might not always pick the right song you want from the album you want. Like, you might get a live version or you might get a version from some random compilation album (especially jarring when the album art appears).
You could also just export from SongShift to a CSV file, if that's your jam.
I've always thought the recommendations from Apple were off. I remember that any time I'd play a grunge playlist, it would include Pink Floyd. Last I used it, I thought Pandora was pretty good.
Pandora will play a lot of repeats :( it also seems to stick to "safer" (eg popular) songs. I've had much better luck with YouTube music. I've found a lot of eclectic, but very good, music using it.
