honestly the classic rock stations(we have 2) here aren't too bad, though yes they both are repetitive. They both have a playlist of probably about 200 songs that are regularly played, but they also sneak in seldom heard songs that the DJs want to play from time to time(heard Zeppelin's "Gallows Pole" the other day, pretty refreshing choice), so it's not completely ruled by a computer.
Also have 2 modern rock stations, a more alternative station(though it borders on pop), and a 60s/70s hits "oldies" station. And of course country, no shortage of country. I can find enough variety on our local radio to not be completely annoyed by it.
Radio was so much better before 1997 or so when it started to get super corporate and, as a result, cookie cutter. It lost it's spirit when companies like Clear Channel decided to make it all streamlined and syndicated.
