For me, listening to the radio has actually proven enlightening. At least, when I listen to the right station.
I'm currently enjoying an American station, WCLX, that I tune into via the internet. They play a lot of blues music and oldies from the 60s, 70s and 80s. They've sort of helped me out a bit with figuring what music and artists I like and don't like (Led Zeppelin's cool, but keep the Strawbs away from me at all costs -.-).
(Mind, something else I like about the station is that it's small, owned by a married couple, and they plug their local services, which is lovely to hear -- in fact, in some cases, the ads are read by folks who *work* at the places being advertised. The station owners, Diane and Russell, also do little blurbs about things in between now and then, though Diane tends to do it more often. She's fun to listen to. xD)
So, yeah. Radio doesn't have to be bad. Just depends what station you tune into. : )
