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.

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 ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

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. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

You can't be Sirius.  If I don't pop a CD in I have a flash drive so basically in effect my own damned prog radio station.  AOL used to have prog internet radio channel and I did make some good discoveries thanks to that. Of course they don't anymore.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
