    I was born in the greatest time of rock & roll. I grew up with the radio and 8 tracks and cassettes cruising the loop and the streets of St. Paul. Because of that I have a instant recognition when one of the favorite songs come on who the artist was.

    Piano Man…Billy Joel
    Smoke on the Water…Deep Purple
    Sweet Caroline…Neil Diamond
    Imagine….John Lennon
    Hey Jude….Beatles
    Taking care of business…BTO

    How about you any favorites instantly click?

    More a blues and southern rock guy. Allman Brothers Blue Sky, Ain’t Wasting Time No More, Jessica; Clapton Let It Rain, After Midnight, Sunshine of Your Love; Chicago’s first five albums. All are still on my playlist.

    Tom Bernard retired some time ago from KQRS.

    I enjoy a variety of classic rock that dutchboy mentioned above. Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles are two of my favorites.

    Finally, a post that makes me feel young.

    Give me Metallica, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, etc.

    And Radar Love by Golden Earring. That’s an all time great.

    “Tom Bernard retired some time ago from KQRS.”

    LOL. It’s called sarcasm. Last time I listened to radio was “some time ago”.

    Sirius XM is great. No commercials and I can listen to any genre of music I want to plus sports, news, comedy, etc. Worth every penny and I don’t even spend a ton of time in the car.

    I usually listen to Blues, and that’s hard to find on the air. Even the B.B. King channel on SXM misses the mark. Other wise yes you’re right.

    Have you tried the app? It has like 300 extra channels. I found some good ones I never knew existed. Maybe there are some better Blues channels there.
