ROON help needed

Most overrated bands
@bdp24 I agree about Beck - boring pablum. I disagree about dancing though. Look at RHCP - nobody would criticize RHCP as not being artists yet they tear it up at every show. That is showmanship and you can be both an artist and a showman. Duran D...

Are you Sirius?
Sirius is like 52 Kbps quality. Basically as bad as youtube or worse. Pointless for serious music listeners but fine for talk show and sports.
