This post follows up on Speranza’s Cream Farewell Concert thread…I don’t think I’ve covered this subject before in a post so….
My disdain for “music” which passes itself off as “pop” or “Top 40” is legendary, as I’ve expressed this opinion many, many times here.
I’d like to open the floor up for this Overnight Open Thread to the discussion of favorite radio stations, whether they are terrestrial, satellite, or Internet-based. I consider my musical tastes to be quite eclectic, and I find great music from these stations:

Radio Paradise (USA)
CBC Radio 3 (Canada, eh)
Absolute Radio (UK)
Europa Plus (Careful with this one folks! It is, after all, from Russia!)

Please share what you like to listen to, no matter the genre, and please include a link if you can. Thanks, and let’s enjoy this thread!

Internet Radio Sharing

Since we at The Blogmocracy utilize the Internet (specifically, BlogTalkRadio, to spread our message, this would be a great time to share our other links to Internet radio…specifically, the music we listen to.
I discovered this genre about ten years ago when 56K was still the rage. There was an East Coast-based outlet called “Taco Wagon”, which was an eclectic collection of modern, classic rock, and world music (which for the most part, IMHO, is not so bad). Taco Wagon was ultimately shut down by some entity (methinks) with the following initials: R, I, A, and A.
Here’s some stations I’ve discovered..and actually like:

Radio Paradise highlights the same format as Taco Wagon did, and is listener-supported.

Europa Plus (Европы Плюс) is based in Moscow…with frequencies all over the former Soviet Bloc. It features world music and Top 40 hits, with emphasis on Russian artists. It’s really wild to hear the DJs play the same songs we’re used to, the news, weather and traffic conditions…except it’s in Russian of course!

CBC Radio 3 is operated by the Canadian Government, and gives preference to up-and-coming Canadian artists in its modern rock format, eh.

So, let’s hear from the rest of you. Tell us about the Internet stations you’ve found…what format they play, and a link if you have one.
