I've heard lots of great new songs from bands I wouldn't have known existed if I didn't have Sirius radio. My favorite station is Left of Center. I also like Coffee House.
I guess the whole point of my original post was that I was feeling a little nostalgic and I was amused that now the wheel has turned and it's my turn to look back and reflect.
Reflection is good and if nature takes its course, your kids will be forced to do the same, except they may be saying "remember the good ol' days when they played Disturbed and Hatebreed on that radio thingy" :7
