I gave up on music radio 20 years ago. Even in the 80s I was so busy and preoccupied with career the sound on the radio was just noise. I mostly listen to "talk" radio on NPR these days - On point, Here and Now, Planet Money, Left Right and Center, Car talk, etc.
There used to be an interesting show on our local public station call World Café, where new music was introduced with some context, not just, "here's a new song." I guess I just like a story.
I tune in Limbaugh if I'm driving alone between 12 and 1 PM (when there is some uninteresting local show on my public station) just for laughs. The guy is such a jackass he cracks me up, but he pisses my wife off.
As far as I'm concerned, commercial radio is mostly a wasteland.
edit:
Come to think of it, when we're traveling the stations with the most reliable reception are conservative talk radio and christian radio. It perplexes my wife, but I enjoy listening to christian radio if the speaker is just talking and not screaming at me. I don't know why.
