Instrumental Oldies
I like to call them "songs too good for words." Instrumental hits are an extinct species these days, but they used to make a regular appearance on the pop charts. This is likely to be the greatest assortment of noteworthy instrumentals you'll find anywhere - all the big hits along with some pleasant surprises.

Smooth Jazz: In the Beginning
So much of the music that used to be played on smooth jazz stations in the early years seems to be forgotten or neglected these days. Click on this channel and you're opening up a musical time capsule of smooth jazz radio back in the late '80s through the early '90s.

Lo-fi Beats
When I'm stressed out, it's Lo-Fi Beats that'll take me away. This is the channel to pick when you want music that'll help clear and cleanse your mind. Especially refreshing after a long day.

This is Music: 1975
Post-Watergate and pre-disco boom, 1975 was the year of Elton John, Olivia Newton-John, America, the Eagles and Tony Orlando and Dawn. Spending time with this channel instantly brings to mind everything I was doing as a high school student, transistor radio in hand, back in 1975.
