Octane is borderline unlistenable with the songs they play and the god-awful Sirius djs. If I wanted to hear fm dj's hitting the post before songs, I'd listen to fm. Liquid Metal got complete pussified and again, the djs are completely horrible Sirius hacks. The playlist at Liquid Metal is now basically Pantera, Slayer, Old Metallica, New Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, rinse/repeat. They sprinkle in some cool tunes every now and again, but it's mostly repeat stuff I've heard a billion times before.

Really? I think Octane went way down hill since the merger. I have/had squizz on my directv and sirius in my car and the difference in the two was a lot. Squizz always played 90's music and now octane is stuck with 90's music.
Don't get me wrong I love good 90's grunge rock but that's why theres a 90's rock channel (lithium). Octane always played badass new tunes before the merger. Now, not as much. Octanes DJ's are good with Kayla and Covino.
Faction is a badass channel most of the time. My bro and I listen to Jason Ellis a lot, he is funny as hell.
My presets are:
1. Octane (20)
2. Alternative (21)
3. Hair Nation (23)
4. Lithium (24)
5. Metal (27)
6. Faction (28)
7. Hits (01)
8. Boneyard (19)
9. NFL (124)
10. is my girlfriends station pop2k (39)
What happened to ac/dc radio now? it was on 19.
