Deep Tracks on Sirius mixes things up a bit. I get to hear some stuff on there I haven't heard for years.
I've about burned out on "classic rock" stations, but commercial radio mainly. I listen to lots of odd stuff now. Lucinda Williams, Big Head Todd, Alison Krauss, White Stripes, Modest Mouse and some other new alternative bands that actually have talent and some "art" about them.
I just dig around and find old blues, bluegrass, whatever, and chase it. Lisa and I have totally different catalogs of the past and she shows me new old bands like the Cowboy Junkies, etc.
I just mix it up and keep it fresh. Then after awhile I enjoy going back and looking for some Clapton/Page/Plant/Rodgers solo efforts, or whatever I can find.

I saw Big Head Todd in '93. I was a fan before and a super-fan after. Very good stuff. I also find good, alternative stuff usually a couple years after they break up. Cage The Elephant and The Black Ryder are on heavy rotation for me lately.

Much like FM radio was like back in the day. The pop stuff was on AM stations
