My Perfect Radio Station

I'm not an "app" person, although lately I've downloaded a couple of free ones just to try them  out.  The first was a Cineplex app to help me keep track of my Scene points, and give me previews, as well as movie news.  I tried using that when I last went to the movies, but I forgot I needed wireless Internet access for it to work (duh).  But it potentially could act as a "mobile scene" card- the theatre just scans the bar code from the app.

The second is a music/ radio one called: Slacker Radio.  I started playing with this a few days ago, and managed to create my own radio station.  The beauty of it, is it's programmed with music that I like, and features only 30 second commercials every few songs- none of this getting into a car, and listening to nothing but commercials until you get to your destination.

I've programmed it with some of the bands I like out today; The Killers, Maroon Five, Adele, Pink, Serena Ryder, Matchbox 20, Rob Thomas, Train, Mumford &Sons, the Lumineers, and Phillip Phillips.  I mixed them with some older stuff: Elton John, Beatles, McCartney, Sting, and Queen and presto a radio station was born.. as an example- I started my morning with Bohemian Rhapsody, and Under Pressure.. how can you go wrong with Queen?

The app has also done a great job exposing me to new artists, or new songs from older artists- I heard F---k me Pumps from Amy Winehouse for the first time the other day.  I've also never heard much of Duffy before I started listening to this nor the Sheepdogs. I've heard a few songs by The Script, The Muse, and The Wanted...

My perfect music station is indie-rock vibe with dashes of pop, hip-hop and some old classics.  What would your perfect radio station be?
