Is the tuning knob on your radio broken?

That’s not the point. I’m sure you know that, though.

This is the equivalent of if you don’t like it, build your own platform.

From siriusxm.com:

quote:

Lithium '90s Alternative/Grunge Channel 34 Grunge rock and '90s alternative. You'll hear Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Weezer, Oasis and more.


Nothing about Tom Morello and his mother.

Damn. Missed this. If I’d have known, xmu would now be on my preset.

Tom Morello is a commie piece of shite. That garbage he pulled after trying to go to that dive bar in Seattle a few years ago made me lose all respect for him. He is a poser and is full of shite. frick him and that shite stain solo album he released 13 years ago.

I agree with you for the most part. Every now and then he will give you a nice find that you have never heard of. Most of the time it’s a bust though. And when it’s not Tom, all you have is Madison destroying your speakers with her awful voice then playing the Cranberries on repeat.

I don’t mind her, but she tends to get a little girl power grunge. Zombies is a great song. And now it’s stuck in your head indefinitely.

The App only channels are the best place to find consistently good music with no talk. There are 3-4 more "Lithium" branded channels available through the App including Lithium Deep Cuts which is better than the main channel. Most main stations have several spin-offs on the App with no talk.

I'm even hearing Morello now on Classic Vinyl and Boneyard.

I'm not sure what survey told Sirius that we want to hear more talk shows with musicians past their peak yakking about themselves. Morello promoting politics and his albums. Springsteen, same. Duff McKagan promoting his wife & daughter. Occasionally interesting song finds, but too much blather.

Mostly I switch stations if it sounds like any of them will be talking more than 10 seconds, like...Alan Hunter reminding us daily that he was an MTV VJ. Yeah we know dude, just play a good song.
I actually like Madison's banter; she's OK til she starts singing. Oh well, bad with the good. And Keith Roth has some good anecdotes.

Mostly about his close personal friends Skid Row.

Tuned in yesterday, he played Audioslave directly followed by another artist and followed that up with him Playing Voodoo Chile.

Unbelievable.

I'm shocked with how many people are saying they like Madison

I immediately turn the channel as soon as her voice comes on.

Funny. I caught him about a month or so ago and heard the same crap. Railing on Trump’s racist rhetoric al the time. Now I turn the station every time I hear him.
I’m probably in the minority hear but Rage Against the Machine is one of the few bands I absolutely despise. I think it horrible music.

It’s because he’s so edgy.

Other than “Bulls on Parade” I can’t stand any of their songs. “Killing in the name of” is probably the most overrated song in the history of music.

No, it's more like "There's lots of other good music on the platform, find a different station."

It's the same reason I don't listen to Howard Stern. If I don't like what he's saying, I'm free to change the channel.

Unlistenable noise. Sane for NIN and Alice in Chains.
