May I amend this a bit to suggest favorite shows? for instance, I found a radio station in San Francisco called KFOG which is alaternative rock and they do an interestint "Ten at 10" show in the morning (10am) and repeat in the evening(10pm) weekdays, which has ten songs from a given year and is commercial-free during this show. They also do a nice acoustic Sunrise/Sunset on Sundays.
Worth a try.
