Since I got my new car, which has an XM radio in it, I've been listening to a lot of cool new hard rock. One of my favorite stations is one called
Octane. They play a lot of new hard rock, and some old stuff. I keep hearing new hard rock songs I've never heard before, but I just LOVE. Some of the bands that are new to me that I'm really digging:
- Godsmack
- Drowning Pool
- Sevendust
- Slipknot (Psychosocial!!!)
- Disturbed (Perfect Insanity!!)
Just awesome. Of course, sometimes they get on a playlist of grunge crap, and I have to switch. Since XM and Sirius are now one company, I also get
Hair Nation, which is a station that plays 80's hair band rock! Man, I had forgotten about:
- Krokus
- Firehouse
- Dokken
- Tesla
- Skid Row
- Twisted Sister
- Cinderella
- Mötley Crüe
- Ratt
- Poison
- KiLLeR DWaRfS (WTF?)
Sweeeeet!! Then there's
Liquid Metal which mostly plays Death Metal, but every so often, they switch around and play a specific genre, or even a specific band. The month of April, it was ALL Metallica ALL THE TIME!! That was friggen awesome, and I got to hear stuff I've never heard before. I wish they'd do a run with Megadeth, but that would just be too perfect.
There are other stations I'll listen to on occasion. When I'm in a certain mood, I'll switch over to the
40's station, and swing with the big bands. When the kids are in the car, I'm listening to
The 80s station. I don't care what you say, that was my era of music, and there's just a lot of stuff I like there. Yay, Cyndi Lauper is on!!

That sounds like a good mix. I have an MP3 CD of 80s stuff in the car and it is the one queued up every time I get in.
What's wrong with grunge? (pout)

Definitely a good name for a band!
Nothing's wrong with grunge: I liked it when Nirvana did it. Now it all just sounds like another Nirvana wannabe.

Glad you enjoy it. I have an old fashion radio. But it hardly matters as I listen mostly to talk radio.
Hey, XM has talk radio too, though I'll have to admit its not nearly as good as the FM fare. I also listen to a bunch of FM talk radio (at least 50% of the time), but sometimes I get tired of the same old beatdown, and just want to rock.
I got fed up with both talk radio and music radio here, so I don't listen to either.

So Dewkid has a wonderful new toy,
A fancy, high-tech radio, so cool!
I'm sure he's feeling like a little boy,
Reveling in his fun while we all drool.
My iPod is collecting dust.
Again indulge me, that it must!
