Thew best station for Rush and Yes was the Music Lab Station. The Music Lab Station also played many other excellent progressive rock bands that I had never heard of before. Now most of those bands will go unheard.
You'll hear Yes and Rush on Top Tracks and Big Tracks.
You'll also hear Rush on the Bone Yard.

I was just kidding Mick, but if you could get the Music Lab Station back, you'd make many people happy, especially me. I know John Allgaier is a listener of that station also.

John USED to listen to Music Lab - they took it off to duplicate Top Tracks with Big Tracks. I vote for bringing it back also!!!! Make it so, Mike!!

I have communicated with Senior VP of Programming Jon Zellner and he knows my views and why; we had a few very nice communiques.

XM MusicLab will hopefully return in a year or more when the stations controlled by Clear Channel (monetary investor) go away. Till then, sigh....

I have 4 XM subscriptions - my car, wife's car, house (Roady), and an XMPCR on my desk at work ($15 closeout special). I looked/listened to Sirius and XM before buying and went with XM because of their variety and more to my liking formatting (age related!). Yeah, I can go online, but it chews bandwidth and sounds much inferior to the PCR.

I'll go to my grave with XM!!

...ok, I agree, a little dramatic maybe...

I rarely go back to local programming. I really enjoy channel's 6, 7, 8, 32, 140, 146, 147, 171 and 172.

OK if I sign up for XM, can I access it through my computer?? I got a nice set of speakers for my PC and just want to sit back and listen while I surf.

Sirius plays a lot of prog on "The Vault" and have a show called "Progressions" every night.

Scott, XM and Sirius can be heard online if you have an account.
