I don't think this thread has been done. What XM channels do you like the most (besides 202, of course).When
it comes to music, I usualy listen to the alternative or punk channels,
but I found one tonight, that blew me away. It's Soul Street channel
60. This channel ROCKS!!! I kept expecting the songs to fade out after
15 seconds and hear Ron & Fez chime in.So what are your favorites?

I just got my Roady2 tonight, so I can't really comment too much.  Other than 202, I guess with my online subscription, Liquid Metal is my favorite.  I am still up in the air about my opinion on the music on XM.  I am still happy to plug my iPod in instead of waiting for XM to play shit for me.

Wow.  That little swing I just took around the dial on XM just cemented my Roady2 to channel 202 forever.  What a bunch of garbage.  Still ain't got shit on my iPod.  I have a name for my pain, and it is Bluegrass.  Jesus, bunch of hicks plucking banjos and beating washbasins.

what the hell people?? Instead of making me go out to my car to get my channel guide you could have at least put the type of music instead of the #'s! thats like way annoying :PI listen to Ethel, Fungus, the Frank Sinatra station, the joint, boneyard, deep tracks top tracks and the mix.I also listen to Fox News and occasionally one of the comedy channels but it's usually awful. M1..whats 42??

When I'm not listening to 202, I like 41 (the Boneyard), 40 (Deep Tracks), 150 (Extreme Comedy)and 46 (Top Tracks) XM has alot to offer. R&F being on XM just makes it more-gooder.( a big plus is getting a Myfi. It makes XM even better. )

202, the sporting events, and stations 40-54 are the bestedit: to elaborate a little ive
had this a short time, and spend most time on 202. Otherwise, so far
I've found Lucy (54) to be the best. Boneyard is good, I also am really
likin 53, Fungus. And when I'm in a mellow mood I flip on 45 and 50,
though I havent heard any Jack yet

I've only been a subscriber for 5 days now, and I have no presets. With radio (as with TV) I'm a notorious flicker.

So far the following are the ones I stay tuned to the longest:

5 - The 50's
6 - The 60's
7 - The 70's
10 - America (country)
12 - X Country
13 - Hank's Place (classic country)
40 - Deep Tracks
41 - Bone Yard
44 - Fred
45 - XM Cafe
47 - Ethel
48 - Squizz
53 - Fungus
54 - Lucy
60 - Soul Street
64 - The Groove
74 - Bluesville
75 - Hear Music
76 - Fine Tuning
83 - Chrome (classic disco)
and whatever channel my beloved Cincinnati Reds are on.

It's obvious I've got some pretty diverse musical tastes, and I'm thrilled that XM seems to cover all bases.

I've had my Roady2 turned on for a day now, and I think the only other thing I listened to for longer than 2 minutes is some of the Dance/House music stations. It sounds like video game music and I can dig that rhythm.  I turned it on with my band for about 5 minutes today.  When they found out XM could have dozens of shit channels dedicated to EVERY small genre of music but decided to take Liquid Metal off, I had all I could do to keep them from throwing it out the fucking window.  YOU SUCK XM.  You have multiple Country, Hip Hop and Christian(gag) stations but you can't have ONE heavy station?  The Bone Yard is GAY AS HELL.  I saw an AC/DC song on there, but even that couldn't take the gay out of that staion.

I listen to a lot of pop music, so I listen 20 on 20, Mix, and Kiss a lot. I also listen to 80's, 90's, 202, Top Tracks, Deep Tracks, Ethel, Lucy, Nashville!, Highway 16, and a few others. What really annoys me about XM is how the hard rock is fragmented.  There doesn't seem to be a station that's remiscent of WYSP or WMMR, which is pretty much K-Rock with a deeper and more diverse playlist.  In other words, album and alternative rock.  (And moe, yes, I know K-Rock sucks.  WYSP and WMMR's playlists are a lot superior.)The Boneyard doesn't seem to have recent stuff, and a lot of the artists are ones I never heard of.Is there a happy medium somewhere?

Listen, at this stage of the game I'd take a K-Rock stream instead of The BoneSmokerYard.At least I'd hear the occasional Linkin Park song cause they were the wanna be hard station in the area, and went into whatever the shit format they have now is.I just feel like they are really spitting in the face of Metal fans by taking Liquid Metal off.  Fucking Fags.
