Is there any fun in tuner?

Never actually tried to have a tuner in my setup since there is almost no music that I like on the FM radio in New York. The whole New York air is into hip-hop and some easy-listening stuff. I like heavy fusion jazz, progressive rock, meaning Weather Report, Brand-X, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Marillion, Gentle Giant... What kind of music do you listen in your tuner at home and at what US/Canada state?
Is tuner any good in sound quality if compared to CD-player or TT(imagin everything of the same class of sound reproduction)?
