I had to add this and give a plug to the best rock band in history...

XM Radio is introducing a new radio channel that is dedicated to Led Zeppelin...

"XM is following in Sirius' footsteps by creating a dedicated artist channel - this one is devoted to the iconic band Led Zeppelin. Dedicated artist channels in the past have been greeted with a lukewarm (or sometimes frigid) reception among fans, mainly because they tend to come at the expense of a current channel.

Thankfully, that's not the case with XM LED.

XM LED: The Led Zeppelin Channel, will launch tomorrow November 8th and run through May 8th, 2008. It will debut on XM channel 59, without putting any other channels on hiatus as a result.

On channel's launch date, XM will also air the U.S. premiere of “The Song Remains the Same,” the re-issued two-disc soundtrack from the band’s concert film of the same name. This album will feature six previously unreleased songs from Zeppelin’s live concert that ran for three nights in July of 1973 at Madison Square Garden.

XM LED: The Led Zeppelin Channel will also feature the band’s complete audio catalog, interviews with band members and other content that celebrates all that is Led Zeppelin.

The launch of the dedicated channel of course coincides with several "new" releases coming from Led Zeppelin. They're also: releasing “Mothership,” a 24-track re-mastered career retrospective; making the entire Zeppelin musical catalog available digitally; and also kicking off a reunion performance headlining the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute concert in London on December 10th.
