FM can and is very good in many areas but if you are in a hill remote area you can end up with a continually varying hissy often distorted mess. FM does not cope with multipath very well when compared to AM or DAB.
Saying that reception of the national FM stations at home is variable fadey and shrewn with multi path. Some FM radios just don't cope wheras others cope very well.
AM radio where I live is by far the most reliable and robust.
