Which one do you prefer? When I read the Ethel description, I thought I'd like it the best. But in actually using it, Lucy gets my vote.

what the HECK are you talking about?

 

adam: Only true TL diehards know what I am refering to. It's code, but it's important code.

 

FRED!!!!!!!!!

 

skeed, I just *knew* you were a Fred guy. I'm sticking by Lucy though

 

ummm...alright. what happened to ricky and little ricky though?

 

Fred, Ethel, and Lucy are XM channels

 

I've never listened to Lucy...who do they play? (examples?)

 

Damn.....rvmeush spoiled the punch line. Could have had lots of laughs for hours.

Lucy The Killers of Alternative

Lucy is all about the most important and well known songs in the history of Alternative Music. While Fred, Ethel, Squizz and other XM Alt channels go deep, Lucy is about the encores...the giants...the defining songs of the generation. Non Stop. Just music. Just the killers. 24/7.

Even Better Than The Real Thing

The Cure

Blink 182

So early 90's alternative. Looks good. I'll give it a go during tomorrow's commute?

 

"....just the killers, 24/7" is what makes me like it best. The other channels have a little bit too much "new" alternative bands mixed in.

 

Dont have XM, but to anyone old enough to remember (or those like me who have nick at nite etc) I really do love Lucy! Best old school sitcom.

Sorry for getting off topic.

 

I wondered the same thing. I also wondered how many XM listeners never figured this out. I also absolutely hated the show and never could figure out what was funny about it.

 

too much time in your hands...
very silly - be more creative and informative with your topics...

 

i swear to god. lucy was so annoying, she did stupid shit, she whined like a mofo, and ricky should have turned around and pimped slap that bitch

 

Lucy...

The others are too deep for me - I need shallow water!

 

I Love Lucy!

I was a college dj in the late 80s/early 90s and I love driving around hearing songs that I used to play on the radio that I thought no one ever heard of let alone remembered these days.

Cool Stuff!

 

I like Hank's Place, channel 13.

 

Discovered Lucy a few weeks ago and loving it!

 

Ethel's the only one on my presets, just because they play some newer stuff. But I'm listening to it less & less lately... considering switching to Lucy.

 

Wow! Glad to know I'm not alone in the world. I never could figure why people thought Lucille Ball was so hilarious.....unless whiny neurosis is considered hilarity!:chainsaw:

 

Personally I like this thread. It's a change of pace from all the "how much do you make, how much did you pay, one more day with this rattle and I'm going postal at the Acura dealer" threads.

Besides, I've been listening to XM and not even paying attention to the fact the channels have names!
