    Default Have you noticed Sirius XM song selections are messed up?

    Have you noticed that whoever PROGRAMS the songs has Totally screwed up the selections !!!! .... I only ( used to ) listen to OLDIES R & R .... 50's - 60's - 70's ..... Well they no longer play R & R .... they are mostly Cr*p from the Hit Parade ....the stuff my parents and grandparents listened to.... . I 'm not going to re-instate my subscription .... how about you ????? ...................Mike

    I no longer use them on the RT because I don't ride with tunes and wife has others sources she listens to, but she still has it in her car. She listens to a couple of the country stations and I have noticed they seem to be stuck on a very small library of songs. During a recent drive of just more than an hour I heard the same tune three times.

    Sirius came built in to our truck. But after the teaser period they wanted to jack is us up to a $200/month premium plan with streaming. We only use it for NPR and a few C&W stations when we're on long trips, so I tried canceling. They offered me a one-year rate of about $75 that would automatically renew at $200, so I did it. It recently came up for renewal (I had it in my calendar for a week before) and called them to cancel. They offered to keep me on the current plan at the $6 per month rate, so I took it.

    Yes, the stations repeat their programming after 1-2 hours, but I just switch stations or stream Spotify ($10/month).

    I use it only for the NASCAR channel and maybe a few sports games. I do the cancel renew conversation every year to get the $6 month rate.

    Last year & the previous 5 years .... Oldie's from the 50's and 60's were R & R, not the cr*p they are playing now. .... Now you get 50's & 60's hit parade tunes & elevator music. I don't consider Rosemary Clooney, Perry Como, Al Martino, or the Mcguire Sisters to be candidates for the R & R hall of fame .... Mike

    Even music choice that I get with spectrum cable has gone wonky, I listen to classic rock and metal and now I'm getting ''pop'' songs from the 90' & 2000's tossed in the mix on both stations.

    I like the two channels they have now. “The Blend” & “The Bridge”. Just the right music for my age.

    Never renewed Sirius after the trial period. I use You tube Music and Amazon Music, so I can pick and choose what I want to listen to, not what some idiot thinks I want to listen to. Oh, and country music ain't country music anymore, at least not what I grew up with. Have you ever heard "country rap"? It will make your head hurt.
