...stations to turn to on your car radio. For mindless bubble-gum noise, there's WRKO, 680 on the AM dial, and WMEX at 1510. You know the style: abrasive disk jockeys, mind-numbing disco, "free" give aways, etc. For those into classical music, WCRB-AM at 1330 and FM at 102.5 is the place to turn. Boston has also been blessed with an excellent jazz station, WBUR, 90.9 FM, run by students at Boston University. If you're into country and western, WCOP at 1150 AM is probably your best...

...grow. Radio's electronic orgasmatron shows no signs of exhaustion. Only nine years ago, the Rolling Stones had trouble getting Let's Spend the Night Together on the air. But that was before radio became the billion-dollar record industry's top sales force. Once dormant FM stations now compete for AM's vast audience, who are mostly disc-hungry teen-agers with money to burn. Orgasmic rock, which flourishes on singles, does not outsell everything else; the top records are soft, romantic rock albums. But when a company wants to launch an unknown or bolster...
