When I built my first stereo in the mid-'60s that included a Dynakit FM-3. Every system since then has included a FM tuner.
In the late '60s and through the '70s FM could be a great music choice. The college and small independent stations were leaders in playing longer selections from LPs rather than 3-minute 45s. That continued in the '80s with CDs. All that changed music with more emphasis on longer songs.
With so many "underground" stations it could be exciting exposure to new music since they avoided the playlists common on the corporate stations.
Unfortunately that has changed over the past few decades with elimination of many of the smaller stations with takeovers by a few corporate media companies. For me that means the best remaining choices tend to be college stations.
