Ozzy's Boneyard - Best station on Sirius
Liquid Metal - Used to like it more when they played stuff that's on Ozzy's station now. Now they play a lot of metal that's even beyond me
NFL Radio - Duh

When I lived in Kansas City, I had a poker group of 7 other guys that met one Friday a month, 7 pm to Midnight....and we listened to the Boneyard exclusively all night.

It just has a great mix of some classic rock and old school metal, which I love. Whenever I use Sirius to listen to some music, that's basically the only station I tune to.

Do you guys are the ones propagating the satellite radio industry.

I didn’t even know you could still get satellite radio.

Don't commute anymore so no need for sat radio here. But if I did, it would likely be dominated by NPR, fantasy football talk and music. I'm sure there's an Americana station--Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams, Jason Isbell kinda stuff? Then probably one that plays new indie bands like Dehd, DIIV, Fontaines DC, etc.

The key with Sirius (like much in life) is to not take their 1st renewal offer...I got tired of dealing with their annual renewal schtick/bartering. Was glad they finally said lets renew you for 3-5 years at current rate.

boom...

Just threaten not to re-new...Good things can happen.

I think I am still paying about what I started at almost 20 years ago,  maybe a buck or 2 a month more at the most.  However I didnt get offered the multi year deal.  They used to offer a lifetime deal for like $500,  I would have done that in a second instead of playing the "im gonna quit you" game every year.

I hate all auto-renews...

I hate managing them and all to do with them. 

Streaming, Software and Magazines are the WORST!

ESPN, CNBC, DMB (Dave Matthews Band), Mosaic (used to be low number now in 300's I think)- plays hits from basically late 80's into 90's up to current)- this primary station all in the family prefer to listen to, Christmas music options after October, Twins games, MLB Baseball
