The Sirius/XM merger has finally hit the listening community as the channel lineups have now merged, with redundant channels getting axed (along with a handful of DJ's, too). Five new channels I got from the Sirius side are the all-Elvis channel, the all-Springsteen channel, the all-Zeppelin channel, all AC/DC channel, and the all-Grateful Dead channel. If you had to pick just one to listen to non-stop til you die, which do you go with?

AC/DC I've got big balls

A Boy Named Seo Nov 13 2008 12:52 PM

I fecked up my own poll and forgot to add Zeppelin. Bah.

TransMonk Nov 13 2008 12:54 PM

I would listen to an all AC/DC station most often. But if I had to pick one to listen to until I died, Bruce provides a little more variety.

metsguyinmichigan Nov 13 2008 01:06 PM

At least with Zep, you get a variety. They were really all over the place. And with the Dead, you could have one never-ending song.

soupcan Nov 13 2008 01:08 PM

Since my Sirius has been tuned solely to the Zep channel from the day I discovered it, that's how I voted.

A Boy Named Seo Nov 13 2008 01:14 PM

Thanks for fixin' the poll. I listened to the Dead station w/ my brother a few times and found an hour's about my limit there. I think Elvis finishes a full guitar's length behind Zep for me.

Edgy DC Nov 13 2008 01:19 PM

Think of how much relatively bad Elvis music there is.

Not that I'd want to limit myself to a steady diet of any one artist, but of the ones mentioned, Bruce, especially now that his catalog has gotten big enough to the point where there's a lot of variety. Of those not mentioned, between the group plus each guy's solo career, I think an all-Beatles station is the only one I could really tolerate for any length of time. There's a local DJ here who does a 3-hour weekly Beatles show and I have no problem hanging with that for the entire run.

Still agitated at the fact that they dumped the Rhyme, XM's old school hip hop channel, in favor of today's current rap music which all stinks. Having said that I vote Led Zep.

themetfairy Nov 13 2008 01:55 PM

I think I'd rather go without music than to have to listen to any one of these acts over and over and over.

RealityChuck Nov 13 2008 02:02 PM

Grateful Dead. Far more versatile than anyone else. I would get bored with any artist 24/7, but at least the Dead has a much bigger catalog (and actually can play just about anything live, from Beatles to "Finiculi Finicula"). Also, their long jams help fill time.

sharpie Nov 13 2008 02:43 PM

Of those choices I guess Springsteen but when it comes down to it I would hate that station too.

seawolf17 Nov 13 2008 06:40 PM

Torn between AC/DC and Zep, but there's too much boring noodley Zep stuff.

cooby Nov 13 2008 06:42 PM

Yuck to pretty much all of them. but I picked Led Zeppelin

Kong76 Nov 13 2008 07:03 PM

I'd hold out for a Billy Joel channel to come about while listening to an end- less loop of Bon Scott and whatever that 'new' guy's name is. I loved Led Zep, but they only had like 8 albums.

RC: Dead ... (and actually can play just about anything live, from Beatles to "Finiculi Finicula")<=== Of course how well they played it depended on how medicated they and the listeners were. I fell off the bus in seventh grade.

There is a classic Twilight Zone episode, with John Astin as a hippie who has died in a fiery car crash. He's all hyped up to go to Hell, because it'll be wild, exciting and crazy. Meanwhile, he's in a room with a victrola playing old-fashioned records, and a pleasant, elderly couple showing slides of their vacation. He gets impatient, thinking he's in a waiting room, but Satan eventually shows up and says "no, this is hell." In fact, as it turns out, they have the same room "upstairs". That's what listening to the Grateful Dead is like to me... stuck in a Hell that others think is Heaven.

Q: What did the one Dead fan say to the other after the dope ran out? A: Hey man, this music sucks! (I may have used that joke here already)

A Boy Named Seo Nov 14 2008 01:25 PM

That's a trick question, Knot, cause Deadheads always know at least 1 dude with dope.

Gwreck Nov 14 2008 02:31 PM

When in Houston to see the Mets in August, the car we rented had satellite radio. I am about as big a Springsteen fan as they come, but I grew tired of the station pretty quickly. Surprised that they'd keep it after the Sirius-XM Merger.
