phillyb Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Also, re: music in general. Good music exists out there. You have to put yourself in a place to find it. Using FM radio that caters to the masses isn't usually that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I listen to 80s on 8 or 90’s on 9. Music of my youth. Not often though cause I listen to Howard Stern most of the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not often though cause I listen to Howard Stern most of the time My version of this is PopRocks on channel 17. There is a lot of garbage on there, a lot of which is mentioned in this thread, but there is also a lot of 90s and early 00s gold in there. A lot of which is also on 90s on 9 and Lithium as well. I just think having it all in one place gives it a different feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think having it all in one place gives it a different feeling. To add to this...My wife and I found this station while driving home from Hershey, PA this past summer(we've had Sirius for several years so idk how I missed it all that time lol). I am in my mid 30s, hearing some to most of the music on this station gave me an epiphany. It just totally jogs my memory to my teenage years, it is such a cool feeling. I imagine this is how my parents feel when they listen to their music from their time. I know we have lots of members here both in my generation as well as older so I hope this strikes a tone with others on here of both age groups.

Phil Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Seriously. Thank fucking goodness for Sirius because the only remotely decent rock station near me is 94.3 Shark...and it is not that good. The music isn't bad but they play the same 35-40 songs over and over and over and over. Right. It's basically K-Rock's highlights on repeat. Also, re: music in general. Good music exists out there.

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Ch 17? I’ll check it out Its pretty much a mix of popular Lithium songs, 90s on 9, and 00s on 10. Poppy rock stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Right. It's basically K-Rock's highlights on repeat. There was a period where we stopped our Sirius subscription for a few months until they accepted our haggling. I wouldn't even listen to music, i just flipped back and forth between WFAN and ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Chief Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 "ROCK" died after the Van Halen / hair band days. And that was pushing it. Most everything after was crap rap and bad attempts or bad attempted twists on the rock formula IF kids even TRIED to learn an actual instrument without all the electronic / computer driven assistance. Shit, even the punks in the 70's / 80's were better musicians than the shit out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw The Last Waltz movie long ago in a surround-sound small theater that was packed -- it really felt like we were at that concert. They cranked the speakers...and that smoke haze was thick!
