Is it a bad thing that 62% of the "worst songs" list is included in my music collection?

Top 20 is the stupidest thing ever... I heard at least 675% more songs than that over the weekend thanks to my iPod (that's assuming that there were 20 different songs on XM 20 because it sure didn't seem like there were 20 unique songs)

And it's not just the music that sucks about it, the whole concept is stupid... I wouldn't have enjoyed hearing Katmandu at least 5 times over the trip this weekend even though it's one of my favorites (top 10, easily). I absolutely hated it when they had Mix 93.3 on at OOF (whether it be throughout the park while they're on location or before the season when there was a boombox in the store)... hearing the same song 5 times in a 5-8 hour shift is retarted. In fact, I have iTunes Party Shuffle set up to play from a playlist that only has the songs not played in the past 3 days (I also did this to help get songs that haven't played in a while to play).

i don't think you and max realize that we were changing between the 4 stations on XM that play that kind of music... So we changed it to songs we enjoy. On my trip from Gower, to WV in Dec. I listened most of the way to XM20.. in which I heard roughly 35 different song over that time. Where those come in handy is short trips and you want to hear a sertain song. Not long trips where you will hear all sorts of repeats, not that I care I'm the one that will repeat and listen to 3-4 song for hours on hours

I realized it... it probably made to what you listened* less diverse than top 20 since whenever you switched to a different station one of the top 20 songs was playing. Too bad you didn't stop at that station that was playing "Fortunate Son" more often...

*is this proper (yet completely weird) grammar supposed English major?

They surprisingly don't own www.xm.com and one of those annoying search sites picked it up, although it didn't look very ad laden (I don't think it had any ads, actually)

XM's channel listing
Channel 7 - 1970's
Channel 8 - 1980's
Channel 40 - Deep Tracks (stuff not heard on the radio anymore)
Channel 41 - Boneyard (hard 80's rock/hair metal/etc.)
Channel 46 - Classic Rock

That's about all I would end up listening to at one point in time or another.

Sirius on the other hand (after figuring out their annoying website)
7 - 70's pop
8 - 80's pop
14 - early classic rock (Who/Doors/Beatles/Stones/etc.)
15 - later classic rock (Journey/The Cars/Boston/etc.)
16 - the vault (deep classic rock cuts)
19 - Buzzsaw (classic hard rock including Black Sabbath/Aerosmith/Van Halen, etc)
31 - Margaritaville (Jimmy Buffett and other stuff like that)
98 - Rolling Stones

Sirius has a more refined list of classic rock stations, but I doubt I'll ever get satellite radio in the foreseeable future (as in, it'd probably have to be almost free) since I've got an ever-growing personal collection with plenty of variety.

That is definately annoying. I get that listening to normal radio. I hear some almost anytime I turn the radio on.

Why would you want satellite radio except for no commercials and being able to listen to the station from one end of the country to the other? I personally will stick with the regular free radio. Some commercials are actually useful and I dont' have to switch stations to get weather or news.

I get both of these with my iPod and those are essentially the only two reasons I would have for getting satellite. It would be redundant to spend money on both (satellite and iPod + personal music collection) since you're essentially getting the same thing. Nothing wrong with having one and listening to terrestrial radio every once in a while though (For me it's pretty much iTunes when on the computer, iPod whenever on a longer road trip, 97.5 whenever in Rolla, and 101 the Fox when at home).

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with satellite radio itself though - plenty of variety, exclusive programming, etc, and it's generally cheaper than having an iPod and building a music collection. I personally like having the ability to be able to play a song on demand and only have what I want to hear in my library.

I've not heard any of Sufjan's stuff, but since everyone's raving about him, I need an earful. Has he come up with a song/album title pertaining to Missouri yet?

Nope.

He has out Michigan and Illinois, one song pertaining to Arkansas, one to Minnesota, and plans to do either Rhode Island or Oregon next. Or so I hear.

I also will not see the new movie. Jessica Simpson is no Catherine Bach. I think I did watch the first reunion movie once upon a time, though.

I catch the reruns on CMT whenever I can.

That's the worst quote from the worst movie. Plus, it's in the worst genre, country. Therefore, that's the worst song ever.

I remember singing that at a karaoke contest in college.

In the William Shatner style. (Basically, he shouts out lyrics, one line at a time, and makes no effort to form a melody or otherwise actually sing.)

90% of my audience didn't get it, 10% were ready to kil me.
