Every generation has its own music revolution. No two generations remember “the classics” to be the same songs by the same artists. Definitely certain artist’s have songs that bridge the widening age gap, but not too many can truthfully claim this feat. This is why it is so tremendously important for everyone to have access to as many options as possible. Nowdays XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio are in competition to gain the most listenership across the decades.
So, with XM and SIRIUS as the two major players – there do happen to be other sources of audio enjoyment out there, but none compare to the listenability of Satellite Radio with its commercial-free stations and vast array of channel options.
