'The River' Radio: The Worst Format In History?

Today I had the misfortune to hear commercial radio with a format called 'The River'.  Sweet frakking Jesus, this was quite possibly the most horrible thing I have ever heard.  Terrible Rolling Stones, awful Tom Petty, a wretched Crosby, Stills & Nash song that I was sick of halfway through the first time I heard it, and the fucking Eagles!  It really was almost unimaginably bad.  What the fuck has happened to us?
