XM Satellite Radio "Decades Collection"
www.xmradio.com

Channel 4 The 40's Big Band/Swing
The Forties and More...On Track Number Four
It's swing time! Benny Goodman is the King of Swing and Doris Day is
singing with Les Brown's band of renown. The Great Depression is
behind us, but World War II has ushered in a new era of sacrifice. On
the home front, Rosie the Riveter is keeping up the war efforts by day
and keeping the home fires burning by night.
Hear it all on The 40's - the great singable, swingable songs; the
dance shows that brought those smart hotel ballrooms right to your
living room radio console; news about our boys overseas. Revel in the
heyday of the big bands and the hits of the 30's and 40's. And take
time out for a laugh with Spike. Jones, of course.

Channel 5 The 50's
It's Early Rock 'n Roll
The look was jeans, black leather, poodle skirts. The sound was juke
boxes in diners and malt shops. And the music was on the verge of a
revolution that became known as Rock and Roll. Now, the 50s are back:
XM Radio recaptures the times when fast dancing was dangerous.
The 50s combines live DJs with classic sound bites, artist interviews
and specials to bring you the authentic sounds of Rock and Roll's
earliest days. Catch your favorite songs from the hit parade. Hear the
music that was playing when Roy Orbison got his first pair of
sunglasses. Rediscover young phenoms like Ritchie Valens and Buddy
Holly. Unearth the early roots of R&B and Doo Wop.
And, remember when Elvis wasn't yet the King - but was shocking. Just
grab your blue suede shoes and get ready to shake, rattle and roll.

Channel 6 The 60's
The Sixties on Six Xtraunauts
Tommy James and the Shondells 40th anniversary LIVE performance from
BB King's coming soon to XM 60s on 6 The Amazing 60s
The 60s were a golden decade for Rock and Roll. Today, everybody knows
the words to 60s songs - but nobody plays them like XM's Amazing 60s
on 6.
XM goes deep to play rediscovered singles by your favorite bands.
British invaders like the Beatles and the Stones, to surfer sounds
like the Beach Boys. Psychedelic spirits like Hendrix, Cream and Iron
Butterfly. Rhythm and Blues greats like Aretha and Wilson Pickett.
Motown stars like The Temptations and Supremes.
The 60s isn't about history. It's about being there now. You'll hear
music features for every special occasion in the 60s pop culture.
Including RADS: Requests And Dedication songs.
Also Replays of the Wolfman Jack Show
