Have to drop by and post a thread, maybe get some users to send in feedback to Apple.

The deal: Got Apple Music day 1. Been listening to and have already hit the "love" button on many playlists, but I want to focus on the "Rock Hits: 198x-xx" because they have gone through now and changed all the songs in them and left the artwork and descriptions, many showing bands that have now been removed from the actual playlist.

For example, Rock Hits: 1986. This was one of my favorite things on Apple Music.
The original track listing was:
Krokus — Screaming In the Night

Ozzy Osbourne — Shot In the Dark

Judas Priest — Turbo Lover

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band — Like a Rock

Bon Jovi — Livin' On a Prayer

Poison — Cry Tough

Iggy Pop — Real Wild Child (Wild One)

Kenny Loggins — Danger Zone

John Mellencamp — Small Town

Van Halen — Why Can't This Be Love

Billy Idol — To Be a Lover

Dokken — In My Dreams

Iron Maiden — Wasted Years (2015 Remastered Version)

Slayer — Raining Blood

Run-DMC — Walk This Way

Megadeth — Peace Sells

Europe — The Final Countdown

Stryper — Honestly

Boston — Amanda

Heart — These Dreams

Eddie Money — Take Me Home Tonight

The Georgia Satellites — Keep Your Hands to Yourself

David Lee Roth — Yankee Rose

Beastie Boys — Paul Revere

Cinderella — Nobody's Fool
The artwork is still the same, shows Krokus, Judas Priest and more. You can look at the playlist now. They expanded it to 50 tracks but there is no Iron Maiden, no Krokus, no Priest, no Megadeth, basically only a couple of tracks remain from the original list. Completely changing the feel of the entire playlist.

They have also done 1987, 1988, etc you get the idea.

What in a many expletive laden exclamation is Apple doing here?! Why would they just ruin what has been established for years and keep the same artwork and description and not just call the new lists something else? Who would do something like that? Bait and switch... not exactly the right term. Disappointing for sure.

Anyway, if this kind of thing happens to you, please send Apple Music some negative feedback at: apple.com/feedback
