I'm not a yank but will answer anyway.
My problem with the radio is not the music, but the goddamned disc jockeys.
Their constant " See me, see me, look how cool I am" chatter gets on my nerves.
So I only listen to the classical music channel, where you are told what plays and by whom and no more.
So I don't much get exposed to music that wasn't written a couple of centuries ago.
