According to Sirius: "Romantic ballads and soft pop music, featuring lyrics of love."Driving Circumstances: The first day consisted of me jamming to Rod Stewart on the way to the gym on Saturday. Nothing pumps you up for a good back and bis workout like slow-moving ballads. Also, endured it on the drive back from the gym...a good 30-40 minutes, overall.
I never got around to actually reporting my experience, however...so on Monday, I had to listen to Sirius Love once again, on the way to work. Wonderful.
My Experience: In a word...meh. This is not stuff I would normally choose to listen to (hence the experiment), and would not even say that I enjoy...but on the other hand, the stuff is so slow-moving and peaceful that it really becomes just background noise and I got a lot of contemplative thinking done while driving to the "quiet storm" artists of Sirius Love.
High Point: Grooving to Marvin Gaye's Let's Get it On; Low Point: I still have Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle's rendition of A Whole New World (from Disney's Aladdin) going through my head...and this is over 48 hours later.Sample Playlist:
- Chris DeBurgh, The Lady in Red
- All-4-One, I Swear
- George Michael, One More Try
- Kenny G, Silhouette
- The Manhattans, Shining Star
- Whitney Houston, Saving All My Love For You
Verdict: Well, it's good mood music, I guess...I might tune into it next Valentine's Day. But if there's anybody out there that has this in their top five stations, I kinda want to meet them, if only to smack a little sense into them.
