Yeah. I'm leaving artists like Elvis (has his own STATION), Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones off my list - they're so ubiquitous that you don't really need to search for them. A song or two I left off of my list because I really doubt they'd get played, even on XM (Clap! Shake! Jump!). So really my list is a list of artists who have a handful of songs that I know I like that I am fairly sure they play, or songs that I like and am pretty sure they've played (often by multiple artists). I'm sure I'm leaving off something, but generally this will cover me pretty well.
