Good XM Radio Stations?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 8:04 pm

Well, thanks to Woot.com, I am now getting an XM radio system. $45 after rebate for a receiver, car kit, activation, and 3 months of service... not bad. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can make any recommendations for some pretty decent music stations. Anything with rock or jazz should do the trick, but I'm open to quite a bit. Keep in mind, this is XM, not sirius.

I just got to try out XM yesterday! Pretty awesome stuff. My dad gets to drive different company cars for his trips, and I got to mess around with the GPS/XM radio for a while when he got back.
The stations are pretty straightforward, just go trhough the genre's, find one you like, search through those stations finding a song you like thats on, then just relax and listen to the clear, crisp, variety of music that it pours into your earlobes.

I want XM very badly now. I heard more new songs in that hour in the car, than I have in a month. You got a good deal sponge, I think you'll like it.

hmmm, I may have gotten a better deal than I thought.... right after I placed the order for the thing, my bank account was charged, no problem. Today, I looked at my balance online, and noticed it was significantly higher than normal. Somehow, that charge from woot disappeared and I would have a free radio if things stay like this (which I doubt)

I wanted to show off my new setup, but I didn't want to start a new thread, so I thought I'd just bump this guy up a bit here...

I was able to permanantly install the antenna last night, and hid the wiring underneath the paneling (I tucked that little bit of wire to the left of the tuner already) and it is now almost completely hidden

Oh yeah, this is probably one of the oldest cars to have an xm radio installed, at least among those used as a daily driver... a 1985 Jeep Wagoneer

Also, if anyone else has suggestions for stations I'm still interested

My favorites for music are the stations 40-60. I like rock/metal, obviously. My parents listen to a lot of talk radio, but not like I care about that.

20-21 are pretty good. The best are the 40s-60s though. Another good one is 140, ESPN baby.
