Radio is irrelevant as far as music is concerned. I find CDs of music I like, download from emusic, take the excellent suggestions for music to look for from Mudcat and friends, make compilation CDs of the things I like best or put music I want to sample on an MP3 player and listen to what I choose rather than have someone else choose for me.   If I had access to a station that offered some real alternatives in my truck I might listen occasionally.
