re: What does your Top 10 XM radio station list say about you?

I have no desire to listen to talk radio, comedians that aren't funny(I listen to comedians I like on Pandora), etc. I like listening to music in my car. Pandora is free and much better for me.

I've got a pretty good list of stations since I've been using Pandora since like '08. I put it on shuffle and can go pretty long without hearing the same thing. I've got like 100 stations. I actually thumb up and down regularly and have built a pretty good system for it to play what I like.

1. AltNation
2. No Shoes Radio
3. BPM
4. XM Chill
5. The Highway
6. Hip Hop Nation
7. Y2Kountry

Oh I know. My dad can listen to sports radio all day. My wife has to have it for her random pop stations. I would just think that there would be a few stations that would cover my likes, but there isn't. Yet the have Tom Petty radio and Pearl Jam radio. I mean I like those bands, but not to listen to them that regularly. I surf them every once in a while and will sometimes happen to be on that station when there is a song I like. But I'm not sitting on that station for hours waiting for the hits I actually like. And I just don't have the patience to channel surf.

I also like the interviews on stern, the sports - every NFL game is broadcast, the news coverage is excellent as well.

I also routinely make 3 to 6 hour drives. Just listening to music gets old for me

This station is so good but like another poster said, they do tend to repeat songs a lot.

Alt Nation and Turbo or whatever that one that plays 2000s Rock, those are my 2 go to channels.

Off the top of my head, I also like Faction, Lithium, Spectrum. Then a few others that I don't really know the names of.

Octane
Classic Rewind
70 on 7
80's on 8
Garth
Prime Country
90's on 9
Classic Vinyl
Ozzy's Boneyard
Lithium

Road Trip Radio and Turbo are great when they're on the normal lineup. Not paying extra for online stations.

Local radio stations here are crap. It's pop, classic rock, or oldies. If like to have XM just to have better music to listen to that isn't a part of my Google Play Music Playlis
