Is there a consensus for "top" online radio?

Hi,

It's not that tiny ... I kinda think after 55 years of it, that it is more about how folks like to "control" what they see and what they like ... and not take the adventure to listen and appreciate something else. Same goes for movies, theater, art ... we will choose the Louvre, but three new artists at Gallery X will have 2 folks walking by briskly and smoking a cigarette!

It's all about where your mind is and wants to be and wants to experience different things. It is only "tiny" in our minds, not in reality! There is so much stuff out there that we can not even get past the top 5 or 10 to discuss them!

Remember that it has been around for many years and is not a fly by night scene that was invented by a promoter ...

Same here, but some shows are NOT about a top ten idea of what progressive music is in their presentation, which almost all the "progressive" shows out there are ... and sometimes ridiculously so! 

Other than Space Pirate Radio, there really are not that many "progressive" shows out there, despite so many misusing the word so badly it hurts to even see it! They do not really know what the whole thing is about, other than just ... it sounds like ... !!!! Even SPR is a bit more song minded these days than it ever was, when there was a time as far as (even) 20 years ago, when Guy played full sides, but these days, (for my tastes!!!) I would say it has a few too many songs, and not more of the music ... but I differ  from folks here and am spoiled senseless from the old days of SPR when Guy played so many things in its entirety, and you always heard Popol Vuh, Ash Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Can, Amon Duul 2, Banco, PFM, Ange, Sadistic Mika Band, EMO, Far East Family Band, and and so many other things in whole sides of an album ... but these days, the majority of shows out there are not about the "music" itself ... they are about the fame of the material, so the players can feel sure that they have an audience, and "validate" their show.

Again, in the end, it is all about what you are looking for and wishing to find, and yeah, it's easy for me to say ... I have more than enough music to last me for another lifetime ... but the love and appreciation for something else, a new painting, a new play, a new film ... is a lot more valuable all around. And I don't mean the one that has so much advertising to convince you and your friends that it is good and the best!
