Beatles Fab Foursome Monday - Friday 9 am ET
It could be one from John, one from Paul, one from George, and yes, even one from Ringo. It might be four from Paul, or two from John and two from George. Whatever the combination, SIRIUS host and Beatles expert Dennis Elsas can't just "Let It Be" with only one, two or three songs Beatle songs. Every weekday, Dennis will take you down "The Long and Winding Road," with four songs in a row from the Fab Four, only on Classic Vinyl.
Classic Vinyl – LIVE from The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum! Every Day 10 am – 1 pm ET
Classic Vinyl is proud to broadcast every day, LIVE, from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio!

Surrounded by these and many other cool artifacts, they bring you the best music from rock's vinyl era every day! And if you're visiting the Museum, stop by and say hi.

Rock Block Hall of Fame Monday - Friday 9 pm ET
Classic Vinyl takes you to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Carol Miller picks a different Hall of Famer each week and rolls a triple play from a legend of classic rock. Carol chooses the all-stars, but you pick the songs! Just call 877-33–SIRIUS and tell Carol what song you would like to hear.
I wasn't sure what the difference between this channel and Classic Rewind was, until I looked it up and found that Vinyl is from the 60's and 70's, while Rewind is from the late 70's and early 80's. So, just judging from that, I prefer Vinyl.
I listen to both channels only sporadically, but I will be listening to this channel more this week.
I listened to an 1/2 hour today and I recognize couple of the oldie songs they played, but it does have a good beat to it. If I'm in the mood for some classic oldies, this channel can do for me.
I like Classic Vinyl, although I prefer Rewind. There are more artists from the "vinyl era" (ie The Doors, in particular) that make me want to change the channel when they come on.
I have this channel as a preset. It over laps a lot with Classic Rewind and Buzzsaw to a point. Both Classic Rock channels could be combined, but until it is, I'll have both as presets.
This station is a preset for me. I like to flip between Vinyl and Rewind. Plus, being from the NY area, it's kind of cool hearing the classic NY jocks like Carol Miller and Dennis Elsas rocking out. The cool thing is that their playlist is just a bit deeper (not too much) than your typical classic rocker...so you usually get more than the 300 or so burned out rock tunes.

Looking for help on Sirius/XM??
This will be an A list preset for me, thats for sure. This is what I most listen to all the time. The station could easily replace my ipod. I love this music. I had it one all Monday at work and listened to it all evening at home. Loved it.
Looking forward to checking out Classic Rewind too.
I remember that this was the first channel I tuned to when I got Sirius. I still love this channel today and tune to it frequently.
I know that this may be similar to any FM classic rock station out there, but we have no pure classic rock station on FM here. Who knew that this channel would be something that someone didn't have access to on terrestrial radio.
This is one of my favorite channels. A lot of great music on this channel -- Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd.
Carol Miller, Dennis Elsas, and the other DJ's are some of my favorites. Keep on rockin', Classic Vinyl!
This is a very good channel. I don't listen all that much. I have Classic Rewind on my presets, so if I want to listen to earlier classic rock, to just go down one channel to Classic Vinyl...
Of the 4 core classic rock channels (Vinyl, Rewind, Vault, BuzzSaw... Bridge, Jam_ON, Spectrum, 1st Wave, and Hair Nation are what I'd term "peripheral classic rock"), Vinyl places fourth. Most of the songs they play that I like are played on the 'Saw; the non-hard rock of Rewind I find generally preferable to that of Vinyl.

This channel is pretty much exactly how it should be. They play all the big classics, and just the right amount of deeper tracks to mix it up a bit. It's one of my standard presets.
