Satillite Radio - Progressive Rock Music Forum

There are two stations I tend to listen to on XM.

For Musicians Only

XM Music Lab serves up an eclectic blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion and jam bands, not to mention the entire Phish library in its arsenal. You'll hear acts like Vida Blue, Karl Denson's Tin Universe, Galactic, Steve Kimock Band, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Oysterhead, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, John Scofield, Ozric Tentacles, Roamin' Gabriels, Gomez, Morphine and so many more. Where else will you be able to join Frank Zappa, Primus and Miles Davis on what is truly the only "players format" in America?

Progressive rock takes over the Music Lab with plenty of King Crimson, Dream Theater, Yes, Spock's Beard, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Genesis, Cairo, Vander Graaf Generator, The Mars Volta, Gong, Coheed and Cambria, ELP, Transatlantic and the rest of the usual suspects.

And, just to make sure that the guitar players are represented, you'll hear Les Paul, Jeff Beck, Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Chet Atkins, Joe Satriani, Junior Brown, Al Dimeola, Tim Reynolds, Steve Morse and the list goes on. And nothing is too long for Music Lab, we've got Bitch's Brew, 2112 (the whole thing), Dark Side Of The Moon (the entire disc), all living and breathing in the XM Music Lab!

And you'll hear the unique perspectives of Quincy Jones as he characterizes American and world music, his influences on it, and linkages he sees, only on XM.

I've also heard live concerts from Jon Anderson and Steve Hackett on Channel 76.

One way to see where you would find happiness on XM would be to use the XM Test Drive. If you type in the name of your favorite band on the bottom of the page, it will tell you which stations play songs by that artist.

I just typed in King Crimson, and it said that in addition to the two stations I just mentioned, I should try Deep Tracks, The Loft, Fred, and (to a lesser extent) The Sixties.

(If you've got an XM2Go radio, you can program in up to 20 artists (or songs), and it will beep if any of the stations are playing a song by that artist.

	With the apparence of all these satillite radios, the question must be asked. Do XM satillite radio, or Sirius (or anyother one) have a prog radio station?? They always advertise rock, jazz, rap, talk, sports, and all that jazz () but they never mention prog. Please help me out. Thank you

	I believe XM has a quasi-prog station (my friend has it). The last time I listened to that station though, it was mainly Dream Theater and The String Cheese Incident.

	Of course, I haven't listened to the radio thing in a while, so I may have a skewed vision of it.

	Well, it really don't matter. More for curiositys sake anyway. Just trying to find an actual prog radio station.
