Good old Lyric FM, for classical music to soothe my inner savage beast, i.e. at 8 in the morning when it would freeze a brass monkey. Other than that, Strawberry Alarm clock for funny morning antics would I listen to and the odd good recent song. There's not a big selection of Irish radio stations anyway, we mostly have pop stations only, not many music specific stations.

My favorite radio station, 106.7 FM, has this crazy gimmick where they play ten songs in a row as part of their "shut up and rock" campaign. I used to like the station because it played a lot of classic rock as well as rock from the 80s, but now they're including so much 90s and new crap that it's no longer "shut up and rock," it's more like "shut up and rock, rock, rock, suck, suck, rock, majorly suck, rock, rock, suck, and suck".
What I really hate about radio is the talk. I've come to the conclusion that all morning talk shows fall into one of two categories: 'two dumbasses and their dumbass entourage' or 'one dumbass and a big group of perky dumbasses'. I heard a promo for Bob and Tom (Group 1) stating that they were "...different from everyone else..." and that "...they have their own schtick..." Neither could be farther from the truth. They were making the same crude jokes, laughing the needle off the meter like an uncontrollable jackass' braying, and talking with their bimbo posse. As far as I can tell, every single morning radio duo does this. What sucks to the same extent but in a different way is the second group, and good god, they're everywhere. Maybe it's because I'm coming home from work at eight in the morning, or maybe it's because they genuinely suck ass, but I don't want to hear Captain Perky and the Perk Patrol playing idiotic games with each other and going on and on with pseudo-sexual banter. I also can't stand the frequent traffic reports (often from someone claiming to be in a helicopter). If someone is listening to the radio on their way to work, it's too fucking late to be telling them that they should attempt to avoid the traffic jam they're already mired in.
Of course, daytime radio also sucks. One of the so-called shows features a moron, his moron co-host, and his alter-ego. The guy, Tom Ryan, doesn't realize just how unfunny he is, nor does he just how obvious it is that 'Art' is just him talking through his nose.
I have been developing an increased interest in NPR (national Public Radio). Although it's pretty much all talk, they don't try to be funny (and fail) or interrupt my music listening with their jibba-jabba. I am particularly fond of "The Connection", "Talk of the Nation" and "Talk of the Nation: Science Friday", and "The Todd Munz Show".

Stations around here all play the same, tired, shitty old cack on a loop. Which is Puddle of Mudd, POD, Nickleback, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a lot of Creed, OVER AND OVER AND OVER and nothing else. They throw me a bone with the occasional Alice in Chains song, but then they smear turds all over it by playing some disgusting punk-pop caca. If I listen to the radio, it's because there's a game on I want to hear, my bf is listening to sports radio for the talk shows and I'm in his car, or I find some politics station and listen to it for 3 minutes before geting angry because all politics radio around here is comprised of raging morons.
I'll stick to my CDs.

Internet radio used to be ok. Because it wasnt all commercial. But now the RIAA has killed off all the independant ones.

Radio is great, although I listen to BBC Radio Four which has little music on it.

The only time I've listened to the radio in the past 2 years was when my friend's band was on a local station. I'll stick to my CD's, thank you very much.

Stuff like Muse, Travis, Coldplay and Radiohead struggle to survive in the pop shite radio world today. I demand we burn and elminate the genre of pop with cappilist hip hop for good!
