{ Interesting... }

Hmm.  Interesting concept.  And, of course, "rock music" became more popular
as more highways stretched across our nation and people were driving around
longer.

Also, in the case of pop music, you need something that you can listen to
without being distracted by (so you don't drive by that all important parking
space or miss an exit or something.)

However, there is also some classical music that, I think, would still show up
on the car radio.  And there is pop music that will be utterly drowned out by
the honks and toots of traffic.

Either that, or it could just be that classical music is boring...
(Sorry.  I could resist that last remark.)
