My sentiments there. Except that I'm too old-fashioned to use an iPod. LOL

Well, mainstream radio stations I avoid like the plague, but when I did used to listen to radio, it was mainly an hour a week jazz fusion thing that I really enjoyed. No pop music in sight (or to hearWink)

I am not sure how you can call a lot of radio's currently rotating playlists "safe" seeing as they make me want to kill.

still, I don't blame the artists and/or bands cornered into making such insipid sh*t, and wish they could be doing what they really wanted to ;P

I really don't care.
They're not catering to my tastes, so when I song I don't like I turn it
off or change the channel.

we only listen to WDR 3, which plays anything but crap. mostly classical music, some jazz, some ethnic music and other stuff. sometimes prog too. it is always excellent music though

Good point, there are some very proactive smaller radio stations around without all the commercial fanfare..just not my thing.

I rarely listen to the radio, and when I do, it's WMGK, which is the classic rock station here in Philadelphia which plays songs from the 60s and 70s. I just hate the radio because of the never ending commercials. Thankfully I have a very large music collection to make up for listening to the radio.

I hate radio, period except for sport coverage. Why? Mainly advertisements and the music of the popular slants.  It does not mean I am out of touch with whats outthere ( I have three kids) plus all the usual music TV stations. When I am in my car, noone gets access to the radio. CD's all the way!!! Why people want to lsiten to adverts ( unless you are on a classical type station) for 40-50% of the time is beyond me.
 
Radio will always be there so the people who love it ...cool too.

I don't hare radio music. I just hate hearing music on the radio, any. I can't stand somebody doing the chosing for me, and much less can I stand idiots speaking bullsh*t over precious seconds of the songs.... So I have never, EVER in my entire life been a radio fan. I have always relied on my own archive. So, I don't have a problem with the music that's played on radio, but with the radio as a music source.

Look i'm 16 years old I'm from that generation, and its not a generation its the "Emo" generation that listen to sh*tty music like blink 182, fall out boy "Alternative music". Alternative to good music. Maybe i've grown bitter to some of the radio. Very rarely have i heard anything good besides led zeppelin, and hey you by Pink Floyd. Maybe its just our radio stations in Virginia. but its pretty bad we don't even have a jazz radio station anymore. I wish i was living in the sixties and 70's because at least back then they had the progressive radio station, that played new progressive music

well Europe may be a different story but America's got some bad crappy radio stations. Very rarely do you hear any good music. Never any prog, besides genesis.

I agree for the biggest part. I'm tired of it too.
 
Luckily we have a radio station in Belgium called Classic 21, where I already heard Close To The Edge during prime time, when I was driving from a supermarket, as well as older stuff by Genesis, Roxy Music etc. In the evening, when I drove back from a meeting, I heard music from Triumvirat (Spartacus), a Conny Plank special (Kraftwerk), obscure '60's bands, etc.
 
In the Netherlands they have Arrow Classic Rock, which already surprised me with non-single material by Marillion, Yes etc.
 
So there are exceptions.
