You can listen regularly for months and only hear a half-dozen songs you don't like. (Compare this to WBZ, where you must suffer through three dogs, five commercials and two contests to savor one good tune.) The music is supplemented by T's rambling jive-talk, interviews with underground figures (from George Reed, who is running for Caesar on the Christmas Party to Frank Zappa, leader of the Psyche-rock Mothers of Invention...
