What are some good online radio/music stations to listen to?

Edited on Fri May-07-04 09:38 AM by Snoggera

I need more variety. Any ideas?

edit: I will bookmark all suggestions and listen after my road trip today. Hey! Dog! Let's hit the road!

Thanks all for your input!

6. This is America's best radio station

http://www.hay98.com/

WHAY in Whitley City, Kentucky. It does what a number of big-city "Americana" stations try to do, but without the smell of pre-fab.

Currently you can stream four archived programs which ought to add some variety to your life. You'll see that there is an online poll asking whether the station should stream 24/7. That's really the way you'd want it: There's nothing better than listening to BB King, then the latest Loretta Lynn, then a bluegrass song by the McCreary County sheriff and his band with a commercial break for a local restaurant ("Home of the Dixie Burger") and Kroger supermarket. Take that, World Cafe; eat THIS, Mountain Stage.
