I can see where paying for sat radio is an issue. However free radio is not even worth turning on in my opinion. At least around here, anyway. 6 minutes of commercials...then a Lynard Skynard song. 6 minutes of commercials..Led Zeppelin. 6 minutes of commercials...Allman Bros. 6 mintues of commercials...Boston...then the cycle starts all over again.

I love the XM on DirecTV...just today I've heard Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, good old Genesis, Stockholm Syndrome, King Crimson...you could listen to regular radio for 10 years constant and not hear any of those.

But is it worth $12 a month? I don't know. Like I said, throwing it in with DirecTV is sweet, but I don't know if I'd pay seperate for it.
