Radio Questionairre

 I generally don't listen to radio stations. When i want to listen to music i just use grooveshark because i don't like the music on most radio stations and it allows me to bypass any advertisements.
However, if i am in the car my mum generally puts on Heart
The music that is played on heart is generally music in the top 50 charts.
I am yet to find a radio station that suits my tastes as i haven't really looked around
