As many said already, the play list beats the shit out of good songs. I love Led Zeppelin but if I hear Stairway To Heaven one more time my head may explode.
Classic rock blows. Do you agree?

Hardline Pro negged me telling me to "go back to listenining to Justin Bieber". So if you don't like ACDC it means you like Bieber. Got it.

Actually, there have been a few posts by others that suggets that I listen to "auto tuned rap music" and such, which doesn't really make any sense.
Oh, fuck you, Macleod. You know you were never subscribed to this thread in the first place. :tongue:

I don't like meat on pizza, so I must like Justin Bieber.

That reminds me of when I was on a line at a movie. 2 girls about 17 years old are talking about music. One of them says if you like Aerosmith you must love Dave Mathews Band. Her friend agreed.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
I like hardhouse.
I've had Sirius for years in car and at home/work.
I do love it although it has become incredibly formatted and commercials have crept in. The playlists are fairy narrow on each station.
Of course the good thing is that there is a wealth of programming to choose from in every musical genre and also comedy, sports and talk.
Music on regular terrestrial radio is really difficult to find at all these days.
I also hook up Ipod in car as well. Good music is everywhere and with internet it is easier to find than ever.

I you don't like what I like, you like everything I hate, seems more the rationale.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Ya know, I used to have it, and had a free trial with my truck when I bought it. I might go back, but when they merged, it fucked up Sirius. They took what THEY thought were the best of both, and I think they screwed it up. Even with the pay service, I still here way to much repetitious bullshit, and worst of all, every fucking dj has to prove they can hit the post, and they just have to talk over the beginning of the song. God forbid, I should get to hear the guitar intro, or the end of a song, without some chuckle head yakking it up over what could be the best part of a song. You have no idea how long it's been, since I've heard the end of "Have A Cigar" played out, without a dj talking over it.

Huh. I didn't know there were sirius stations that did that. Guess the ones I listened to didn't do that, but I can't remember which stations they were. Think they were The Boneyard (classic rock), Liquid Metal (metal of course), and a few others. Don't know which numbers they were though.

Gentlemen:
The correct answer only lasts a few seconds... at the beginning of "Slip Kid" on The Who by Numbers.. Yes, Keith Moon's countoff, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 hey mate". :thumbsup:
Yes, Keith was the musician who supposedly came up with the term "Led Zeppelin"... "they'll go up like a lead balloon" was what he said.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Unfortunately, most of what many people these days know as classic rock is just the overplayed stuff that they're already familiar with and they've heard so many times. One station where I used to live had this thing where they'd play what they called "deep cuts". Uh... D'yer Mak'er isn't really my idea of a deep cut. It's a great song. But anyone who has actually listened to Led Zep has heard it many times. But now, if they'd played Led Zep's Black Country Woman and left the sound of the airplane going overhead, that would be a deep cut! And how could anyone listen to Over the Hills and Far Away and not like it??? Deep cuts? Classic rock songs that most people under age 30 don't know exist? Any track off the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request would suffice. And don't even get me started on Beggars Banquet or Exile on Main Street. Sympathy for the Devil is one of the most amazing, musical walks through time that there ever has been or ever will be. Same with Gimme Shelter. I have an original (played by The Stones) instrumental version of Gimme Shelter that I plan on playing at my funeral - too bad I won't be around to hear it! Talented people used to be able to make great music and have something meaningful to say. Why don't talented people say anything meaningful in their music anymore? Hell, I can cuss. I can holler and yell like a banshee. I can jump up & down like I'm having a fit. And with a synthesizer and enough mixing and dubbing, I can blabber to a beat about something meaningless and make a modern pop song. But I can't turn my thoughts into lyrics and add a melody and do what the greats of the 60's and 70's did. Wow! What an amazing time for music. :bowdown:
The Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and many other bands, that make up what most of us think of as "classic rock", borrowed heavily from the blues to make their music. That was music that was, by definition and design, from and for the soul. I really have no idea whatsoever what modern bands borrow from to make what they now call/pass off as music. As someone said earlier, I think they're too focused on making lots of money and not focused enough on making good music. But this I'm fairly sure of: in 30 years, people will still be listening to The Stones, Led Zep, The Doors, The Beatles, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Animals, Fleetwood Mac, etc. - but no one will even remember who Lady GooGoo or Justin Beebore was... much less still be playing their "music". I'm still working on my theory that today's bad, worthless music is why kids are going on these shooting sprees. I play my classic rock filled iPod in the car and never listen to the radio. But if I get caught without my iPod and have to listen to the utter shit on commercial radio, within five minutes, thoughts of slamming an extended mag in my Glock cross my mind too! :eek:
What modern/pop band or musician has even gotten close to the pure genius of Pink Floyd in the past 20 years? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? None of 'em! Don't even throw a name out there. Hell, these days they can't even touch the Rolling Stones when they were just fucking around and having some fun with some random words and instruments.
Ow! Yeah! Uh!!! Break me off a piece of that now, baby! :nanner:
But we all like different things. To each his/her own...

I kinda agree.
Being born in the early 70's, my "formative-teen" years are the mid 80's to early 90's so my classic rock consists of mostly Hair Metal, Freestyle Club Music and what is often referred to as the "Golden Age of Hip Hop".
Just never got into any Led Zeppelin, The Who, or Rolling Stones kind of bands.
I'm a more Metallica, Motley Crue, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys type of dude. :dunno:

The last turd that Roger Waters flushed had more talent in it than Justin Beebore and Lady GooGoo have in their whole bodies... combined.
The last "real" modern rock band I can think of that was worth much was Guns N' Roses - before heroin turned them to shit.

For me, the dagger in my heart, was when they picked Deep Tracks, over The Vault.
