Hmmm gonna have to look into that, i want to buy like XM or sirus cause to me the radio stations arent what they were say 10-15 years ago but what i get tired of is the repeating of the songs, i can work a 10 hour day i can hear the same song like 3 times in 10 hours, it gets old so i bring in a stack of C/Ds and can change what i wanna listen to w/o any commericials .But i like some of alice coopers songs like building a house of fire,poison,loves a loaded gun.

Anything but classical (elevator music) and Tejano ( don't understand it) or any music with an accordian9worse than nails on a chalk board) Mostly Christian rock, love Pillar, Casting Crowns, Under Oath,Steven Curtis Chaplin, Soulstrum,etc.
Good choices as well. I like the old southern gospel, especially the Cathedrals

My wife bought it for me 2 years ago for fathers day and I haven't listened to regular radio since. I drive 3 hours a day, sometimes more, and I couldn't live without it. No commercials, tons of tunes in all kinds of genres, and you can drive for hours listening to the same station. Anything over 50 miles has you switching FM stations due to static. Lots of talk shows, sporting (ESPN and every NFL game, both home and away broadcasts) news, and weather/traffic every 4 minutes for most major metro areas can be had on Sirius. XM has different content, so research each to find what suits you better. I was going to go with XM just to spite Howard Stern (can't stand him), but the Sirius channel lineup fit my tastes better overall.
People always give me the "I'm not gonna pay for something that I can get for free" line, but you pay for cable, and you pay a lot. And it is so not like regular radio. Not having to listen to some DJ break in every 20 minutes to tell me "my dog/cat/bird/iguana has had much better stools and a shiny coat while eating brand X food" is worth every cent of the $11/month.
The only downside is there are commercials on the non-music stations like ESPN, Playboy, Blue Collar Comedy, Roaddog Trucking, etc. But they're still only 2-4 times per hour, and you have 100 other things to listen to for the 4 minutes the program is interrupted.
Other bonuses:
If you put down a little extra cash on a decent unit, you get some fancy features like 45 minutes of playback and alerts when your favorite song or artist is playing on any channel, kind of like Tivo.
You can listen to most of the Sirius content online too. All of the music and most of the talk channels are available. You get a log-in and password when you sign up. I don't know if XM has this as well, but I would assume it does.
As a money saver, I put a buddy of mine on my account as a second receiver for $6.99 more per month, and we split the total cost 50/50, so I really only pay $9/month for it when I pay for the year up front.
I'm not affiliated in Sirius, don't own stock, etc. I just love the product. A lot.

They have a good southern rock feeling but more modern.
So I'm thinking Led Zepplin, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros, Skynyrd, but modern...hmmm.
I went to Walmart.com clicked on music, clicked on download mp3 (songs are only $0.94) and previewed a few of their songs....oh my goodness, I had to reach for the tylenol--my head.
If that is modern southern rock, then in their day, Metallica and Megadeath must have been their modern folk music artists. Oh, my head still hurts.

He sounds nothing like early Van Halen.
I have listened to two of his videos on youtube, and YES, he reminds me exactly of Van Halen's stuff when David Lee Roth played with them. It is identical to the lead guitarists in that band. Van Halen wouldn't have popped into my mind if it didn't.

Of course, nothing beats the southern rock Led Zep, Skynryd, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros, Pure Prairie League, .38 spcl, Molly Hatchet.
I'll add Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Miller Band, Eagles, Steely Dan, Peter Frampton, Ozzy, and as eclectic as my taste is, I also like ole Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson and could listen to them all day long. Throw in Cash,
If you like a good guitar, there is always Eric Clapton, but throw in Mark Knopfler--good mellow stuff, or anything David Gilmour of Pink Floyd...yeah, Floyd, saw them many times in concert in college.
Also love Kansas, Boston, Chicago, (there's a pattern here) Brooks and Dunn, Gordon Lightfoot, Dwight Yoakam, David Bowie, CCR (the original and CCR the Cross Canadian Ragweed), Chesney, Clint Black, Toby Keith, Bon Jovi--slippery when wet--AWESOME!,
Anything John Williams does (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones, Raiders of Lost Ark, Superman, ET, Chariots of Fire, Close Encounters,) He is the Mozart and Beethoven of today mixed in to one. He was at the Inauguration--which is the real reason I bothered to go...to listen to him and his creation, along with YoYo Ma.
Add some Gershwin and Vivaldi--wow, I gotta get my mp3 player fired up now. It's like talking about food and gettin hungry.
Throw in some good old bluegrass--Bill Monroe, Ricky Skaggs, Doyle Lawson, Del McCoury, Dr. Ralph Stanley, Cadillac Sky, Nickel Creek---man, I'll be dancin all night long!
Anyway, that's what I like. Oh, and I am a Parrothead thanks to Jimmy Buffett

I listen to two rock and country
rock/metal/death metal/classic metal whatever you wanna call it i probably listen to some of it. Anything from Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, August Burns Red... to Zeppelin and ZZ Top. I love a wide range of bands
Classic country/modern country/some of the more folkish country, bluegrass and pretty much anything in between. Hank III, Garth, Steeldrivers, Jason Aldean, Johnny Horton, Cash, Joe Diffy, CDB. Ill listen to just about anything along those lines. but I hate alot of modern country that doesnt sound like country and doesnt even sound like a band. just sounds like pop music with a dash of banjo with a drum machine.

I usually listen to Eminem, Tech N9ne, 50 Cent, Akon, a little Yelawolf, Lil Jon, Godsmack, Disturbed, Nonpoint, Amon Amarth, Volbeat, Soil, Drowning Pool, Stone Sour, Flyleaf, pre- Black Album Metallica, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton, ZZ Top, Rush, Joan Jett, etc...Pretty much, I can be pretty satisfied with any classic rock station, Any metal/hard rock station, or my own collection of Rap.
Unfortunately I live in the heart of country territory, and the majority of the fans around here think if you dont like the sound of country, they just need to play it louder and try to tell you why its so great. Then get mad when you play something they don't like the sound of.

There isn't much I don't listen to regularly. If there is one thing I hate it is repetition. Give me a variety.
I have the whole gamut on my phone. Big band/swing, 80s rock, country, classical, I have one playlist that is strictly patriotic selections.
I grew up on the 80s. Excellent music. Pop/rock, country, early rap. It was all top notch. Still listen to most of it today. However, to my reward, I have expanded my tastes to include more decades. 70s. Most of that was easy listening love ballads like Little River Band. Southern rock like Skynyrd. Great stuff. The 60s. You have the usual rock sound, but then there was the surfers, Motown, and don't forget the political counter culture protest music. Love it or hate it, the 60s would not be complete without the protest music. Yep, I listen to it all. The 50s. Ah, well, way too much to list. The 40s is my default. The sound, the swing, the Patriotism. The 40s had a message in the STARKEST of contrast to the 60s protest music. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, the list could go on and on.
Give this song a listen:
https://youtu.be/fhyhP_5VfKM
And the gold standard:
https://youtu.be/_CI-0E_jses
Classical, Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Strauss. Pure artistry.
Country. Pretty much all of it, except this Nashville hip hop that seems to dominate the current airtime. And Tim McGraw. Can't stand him or his girlfriend Kenny Chesney.
My wife listens to the modern gospel, which when mixed with a 4/4ths time scale is pretty stimulating. Way back in the day my family was good personal acquaintances with the Blackwood Brothers quartet. I'll still indulge in some of their music from time to time.
There is so much more I could list but let me add by saying everyone should explore new horizons. To make my case I'll bet anyone on this forum that they like opera and don't even know it. Take a listen to the following piece and then tell me with a straight face that this isn't exquisite music: http://youtu.be/9BZ16rfWUaM
As far as what I won't listen to, death metal. Can only do very little of that and like lemon juice on a cold sore, a dab'll do ya. Same with hip hop. Its like a cold toilet seat, I'll do it but I have to ease into it. If that is what others like that's cool with me, just not my type.
And finally, I knew I raised my kids right when I asked them this question: I noticed you guys listen to a lot of 80s music. What do you guys think of .38 Special? My 20 year old replied with "Duh dad it's Skynyrd". It was at that point when I knew I was the perfect parent.
