I need some suggestions/recommendations for good (free) Internet radio stations, preferably that I can listen to with Winamp (but not a requirement). I am looking for stations that play rock - alternative, classic, metal, punk, etc. They can be purely online stations or real stations that stream live online.
THANKS!!!
Minnesota Public Radio, 89.3 FM, is AWESOME. Check out this playlist, worthy of the highest hipsterrific praise!

They have it set up so you can stream it over the 'Net.
I really like http://www.radioparadise.com. It’s “ecletic adult alternative,” or somethin’ like that. I like the variety, lots of stuff you don’t hear on the radio.
WOXY FM out of Ohio. Non-mainstream alternative staion. They’re on iTunes, not sure about Wimamp, but their site has streaming.
Try Launchcast. You choose what you like and it’ll stick with those groups, and suggest similar ones. Once you set it up, you’ll get something custom-made for you.
ChroniX is a shoutcast channel available through Winamp. Pretty good station. Actually, just search through the shoutcast radio listing in Winamp and you’ll find lots of stuff.
Yeah I have pretty much exhausted the stations I have found through Shoutcast, and wanted to find some new ones. My favorite was XRM, which plays alternative rock, but I realized pretty quickly that it plays like the same 100 songs over and over, so it got old pretty quickly.
My absolute favorite radio station - Indie 103 - I have to listen to their stream since I don’t live in the LA/OC area. Great stuff.
Another good one out of central PA - Buzz FM
And one more out of NJ - Seton Hall’s Pirate Radio WSOU.
And you can create your own ‘station’ by selecting certain genres of music at Epitonic.
Seconded. In fact, that’s what I’m listening to right now. Plus you have the choice of WOXY or WOXY Vintage for your old school alternative needs.
A simiar station, which is just as good, is KEXP.
Thirded. It’s what I came in to suggest. 
I listen to this one sometimes: Second Shifters
…except I forgot to mention that I hate listening to the jock who’s on in the evenings (starting at 6pm Eastern). 
KEXP 90.3 from Seattle is a great, eclectic station. I especially like the hardcore punk rock show on Friday nights.
I’m listening to KEXP right now.
An obscure one: Radio Keneally . Only Mike Keneally and related stuff, Keneally covers a lot of ground.
I don’t listen to a lot of internet radio, but when I do, I usually listen to AccuRadio. You can choose a particular genre if you like. You can also deselect up to five artists that you absolutely don’t want to hear - there is a list on the left side that tells you possible artists who may come up. Ie: I hate Oasis, and I don’t want to hear them. So if I listen to the BritPop station, I can check the little box, and hooray! No Oasis!
I like the “Flock of Eighties” station there, myself. 
Indie internet only station 3wk
Introduced me to many bands I probably never would have heard of otherwise, from Modest Mouse to Yo La Tengo.
WFMU is pretty good, though I don’t get to listen too often.
Awesome. I’ve never heard Yo La Tengo on the radio. Must check out this station myself.
WKLH is Classic Rock, and was one of the first, if not the first in the nation to call itself that. Their morning crew, Dave & Carole have been pretty amusing together for 20 years, but their sidekick idiot man-child KB is sort of a poster boy for the “Anti Straight Dope”, spreading ignorance since 1993 or so.
You can link to their webcast from their homepage.
Having said all that, I must admit I am really getting royally sick of their standard classic rock playlist. But some of their deep cuts really take me back.
