Last night I plugged my IPhone up to my Pioneer receiver and my main system. I have my own tuned version of the Folk rock channel. I added many of the progressive folk acts. The interface from the IPhone is digital to the receiver. Wow the sound quality was phenomenal. There are channels including 2 prog channels that Slacker Radio provides which programmed by users. I'll research and get back with the names.
I know this thread is virtually dead, but I just had to post this...
A week or two ago (yeah, it took me that long to find this thread) I tuned to Deep Tracks and the song that was playing was kind of mixture of psych and jazz-rock, with a nice sax solo at the end. A bit more sophisticated than, say, Chicago, but not as much as Weather Report or Mahavishnu. I'm thinking, "this is pretty good. Who is this?" I press the button on the radio to find out the name of the song and then the band. Unfortunately, I forget the song, but the band: Loggins and Messina.
What the what?

Loggins and Messina actually had some pretty proggy sounding stuff. It could have been "angry eyes" that you heard but that's just a guess.
Yep, that's it. Recognized the title immediately.
Funny thing, tho, listening to it now, I don't like it as much as I remember liking it.

A few days ago they played: David Gilmour - "Short & Sweet"
Cool! Do you use wi-fi for that, or just the phone's connection? I have an an Android phone, and I've never had good results using the wi-fi - much more reliable with wi-fi turned off. But I'm going to finally go over to the dark side and upgrade to an iPhone 5 next week, and I'm wondering if the connection over wi-fi is more reliable. My droid is the first Samsung Galaxy S phone (Captivate) and it was cool for about 6 months then it started to Samsuck as Google and Samsung proceeded to abandon it. I didn't have time to deal with their bullsh*t OS upgrade procedure more than once. But this is for another thread...
I heard KC's "Heartbeat"...on the 1st Wave channel.
