Oh yeah!!!
I'll tell ya, XM is totally worth every penny I send them. In fact, I leave it on one station most of the time---#44 FRED----both in the house and the car!! And once you buy a subscription you can log online and listen too!!
They play some artists heavily--like the Clash, The The, Simple Minds, The Alarm, Depeche Mode---but then they will pull something out of their hats---like what just happened---and it just blows you away!!! I heard the beginning of the song and was like, "WTF?" I couldn't believe it was NOT my own cd!!! They have also played in the past, Visions of China, Stilll Life in Mobile Homes, Art of Parties.
They are also the reason I got turned onto Big Country--they played some obscure tracks I had never heard before, and got me curious!! In fact, they got me curious of alot of bands that I seemed to not get into in the earlier days. Seems to open up a whole new world to you.
Sure beats the heck out of mainstream radio!!!!
