Channel 25 on Sirius, 59 on XM.

The coolest Rock and Roll records ever made, whether they are 50 years old or 50 minutes old. The format is based on the British Invasion of 1964/1965 and features The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Yardbirds, Who, Dave Clark 5, Hollies, Animals, Herman's Hermits, and -- uniquely -- adds everything that influenced the British Invasion: the Pioneers (Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis), the Girl Groups (Shirelles, Crystals, Shangri-La's), Surf (Jan and Dean, Dick Dale, Beach Boys), Soul (Sam Cooke, Arthur Alexander, Smokey Robinson). Plus, everything the British Invasion influenced Folk-Rock (Byrds, Turtles, Grassroots), Psychedelic (Cream,Traffic, Love), Classic Nuggets (Music Machine, Standells, Easybeats) and Punk/Pre-Punk (Ramones, New York Dolls, Stooges). The channel also prominently features today's coolest new music (White Stripes, Hives, Kaiser Chiefs). Created and Executive Produced by Little Steven.

Great channel if you like Rock n Roll. I discovered it about 3 months ago and listen all the time. I always thought it was garage bands or something, but it is a really good mix of music....give this channel a chance...to me, it is one of the best on Sirius XM

I just gave this channel a shot and I'm glad I did. Great playlist so far.

Added to my presets.

I also gave this channel a shot, but not much a fan of it.

I listened a few times, when I heard some Modest Mouse on there.

I really like that they now have the Breakfast with The Beatles on Sundays.

I'll be walking with this one this week.

If the programming was this good before the merger, then I have no idea why I never at least gave the channel a chance. But I thought the same as you did, I thought it was only grungy garage bands.

I need to start "walking the dog" more often.

I really haven't noticed much of a change in the playlist...it's always been songs i've never heard, but i generally like most of then, especially in the context of the entire playlist...good channel to have on in the back ground...

glad to see others digging it...to me it is one of the best on satrad...and it's great radio!

I gave it 45mins and I like it. Like most I thought it was garage band stuff it's now a preset.

Like a lot in this thread, I always avoided it thinking it was music made and played by a bunch of guys who are supposed to be working on something but became too intoxicated to do so, and started playing music and singing. I gave it a half hour and am still listening. As of now, it is way better than what I expected it too be but will have to listen longer to decide whether or not it will gain preset status.
