The best I can get is either Classic Vinyl channel 26 or Deep Tracks channel 27 where I hear an occasional Prog song. We should all write to Sirius/XM and request a Prog Channel!!!

Eh. When I'm in the car I usually just throw an album on, especially in regards to prog.

I agree 100%---they don't realize that prog fans are loyal and will listen---there are just too many of the rock stations that overlap anyway---

Ehh, I probably wouldn't listen to it. I like listening to full albums. Smile

It would be nice but I 
1) Rarely listen to the radio
2) Would rather listen to a whole album
3) Can't fathom it being very successful
4) Don't think it would be the best idea and
5) 1-4

Sirius/XM do need a Progressive channel. I have always been a fan of Yes, ELP, Genesis, etc. However there are so many bands out there: Spock's Beard, Marillion, Mystery, IQ, Big Big Train. If these bands had some airplay I am sure they would all collectively benefit.

As for me I get by with a 14.6 hour Progressive playlist. I am always looking to find good music, however, and to my ears it is not Adele.

XM had one about 4-5 years ago and I guess it didn't get enough audience. I may have heard Mars Volta there first. It was cool, but alas gone.

 
Deep Tracks will pull some prog out of nowhere sometimes. I think Firth of Fifth came up once.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Xm, je leur ai écrit il y  a presque 3 ans. Ils ont répondu " merci, on va penser à çà!  Faut croire qu'ils y pensent encore, puisque rien n'a changé.  Xm, c'est un ramassis de cochonneries, à part les chaines de classique.  Pour le reste, ils ont une définition purement mercantile de ce que veut dire "bonne musique"  Xm SUCKS.

I turned Deep Tracks on in my uncle's car one night and heard Yes and Jethro Tull.  In my limited access, though, I haven't heard any since then.  You probably have to turn it on at the right time.

You can't be Sirius. Tongue

If I don't pop a CD in I have a flash drive so basically in effect my own damned prog radio station. Big smile

AOL used to have prog internet radio channel and I did make some good discoveries thanks to that.  Of course they don't anymore. Angry

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
