okay folks, i know many of us in the 35+ crowd often wonder what the hell has happened to traditional rock n roll and the music scene in general.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

those in our camp cannot figure out for the life of us how what passes for music today can be compared to what we know to be real good music. It seems to us that today’s generation is much more impressed with computer generated electronic sounds than actual singing or playing of instruments.<o></o>
<o></o>
Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, led Zepplin, the doors, the Beatles, jimi Hendrix.... I could go on and on..... Where are these types today? we sometimes ask.<o></o>
<o></o>
While it may be true that in 2009 this "genre" of music is rarely heard of in the media, rarely wins awards, and pretty much never cracks the top 40. I am here to assure you that it is not DEAD.<o></o>
<o></o>
If you don’t believe me simply tune into your XM RADIO channel 56 or SIRIUS RADIO channel 17 and listen to the station 'JAM ON' for a few days.<o></o>
<o></o>
THIS IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST RADIO STATIO FOR MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.<o></o>

moe<o></o>
widespread panic<o></o>
phish<o></o>
government mule<o></o>
Dave Mathews<o></o>
Umphrey Mcgee<o></o>
String Cheese incident<o></o>
<o></o>
Many of these bands are not millionaires, but rather play for the love of the music. They are not "gangstas" they don’t feel the need to be front page of the media every day, they don’t have massive senses of entitlement, they simply love the music!<o></o>

JAM ON!
