speaking of which -- XM starts offering it's online service FREE to subscribers beginning in April.
RIght now i'm paying 6 dollars each month for an additional SKyfi that i keep in my office so i can listen at work. -- as soon as the online is free i'll probably drop the extra reciever.

I was home visiting my parents this weekend and saw that Dish Network broadcasts all the Sirius programming on their music channels. I have XM in my car. I only listened to Sirius for a couple hours, but it seemed like the selection of Rock was a little better.
The problem with XM is they don't have a channel that plays ACDC, Metallica, etc all the time. There's the Boneyard, but they seem to play more crappy 80's hair bands then anything else (I see Winger at least three times a week🙁). I listen to Squizz and Ethel most of the time.
You can't really go with the lineups on the XM sites either - they're a tad misleading. The lineup for the Boneyard shows Ozzie, Metallica, ACDC, Van Halen, and some hair bands - but it seems like the hair bands take priority most of the time.
Right now, if I was subscribing again, I'd go Sirius. In fact, if they have another equipment deal like they did recently, I might subscribe now and give my XM stuff to my sister.

For what it sounds, it sounds like Sirius would be the better option for you. They also let you stream the music (and it's always been free - unlike XM - just to throw that out there).
They have lots of new players coming out, so check it out. Go to their website and listen to the music if you want. You can get a trial account.
