99% of the FM stations sucks.

that's why I'm thankful for KEXP; commercial free, where the dj's actually pick what they want to play. free song of the day podcast, free music that matters podcast, streaming live archive of the past weeks shows, and live play lists.

If you haven't heard of it, check out there website KEXP.org. totally awesome music (Listen to john in the Morning )

I doubt they will be completely gone. There are WAAAY too many companies tied into them, including XMTraffic (used on every new car with navi) all the electronics companies that make XM/Sirius products, etc. Someone will buy it up at a dirt cheap price, and keep it going.

I know...I know...all the *NEW* songs are sheit.
i don't know about your FM stations, but in Philly, one rock station plays only 80s and 90s music...no new music. they used to, but now it's the same shit over and over. the other station has a good morning show, but crappy music all day that's not worth listening to.

i just keep up to date with the bands i like online. sometimes i'll find similar artists and give them a shot to see if i like them, or something.

That's one way or you could go out and see GOOD local bands and buy their CDs. I have must be close to a dozen CDs from local bands. Great stuff.

Yeah, I got sick of music radio a long time ago, and I used to work in radio.

When I listened to classic rock, practically all I'd hear is leonard skynnard, molly hatchett or the same tired zepplin song over and over.
For someone that worked in radio and listened to classic rock I wouldn't think you would misspell all three band names..... just saying.

There may be hope for Sirius XM:
Liberty Media to invest in Sirius XM Radio

I agree. Don't talk smack about the Beastie Boys. I will go straight into attack mode and not look back...
