as far as I'm concerned classic rock=earlier than 1981. There are a lot of songs much later than that that I like a lot but I wouldn't use the word "classic" to refer to them.

You don't consider groups like Van Halen and Bon Jovi classic rock? Not challenging you! Just most people I know who listen to classic rock would.

ayrt
no, not really.

That depends on the country as never had this division and 'classic rock' was applied to post-WW2 North American rock n' rollers like Little Richard. Cut off was with Elvis but discluding him. Wikipedia tells me that 'classic rock' in case of rock bands would have 1982 and 1986 as cut off. Bon Jovi had some songs that fit into style but would not say band does write into it if you use hard rock Dean fancies.

Staind is over 20 years old, so maybe they're just going by "anything older than 20 counts as classic"?

My dad worked in radio and he said once that the radio stations he worked at considered any songs that were 10 years old or older to be "classic rock".

I don't think there's any actual official legal definition of classic rock. The original format was rock albums from the 60s and 70s into the mid-80s, which was - at that time - the present. so "classic rock" could mean any of those actual bands, or it could mean rock albums from the 60s and 70s to the present, or it could mean albums that someone thinks have a particularly classic rockishness about them, or it could mean something else entirely.

Probably best to mostly ignore it, in my opinion.

It's pretty much this. Oldies and classics stations of the 1970s played music from the 50s. In the 80s they played music from the 60s, although in that case there was slippage into the end of the decade/ early 70s.

What about a band who's been around for over 20 years, but has just released a new album. Do the new songs get grandfathered in as "classic rock"?

They get played for 3 months or so, and then they go away, because no band has ever released a genuinely good album after having been around for 20 years.

Prove me wrong.

Elvis Costello. He has jumped genres a time or three, but his music is consistently interesting and innovative.

They've had music I've liked in the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and 00s.

I would say the Rolling Stones, but I only like a few of their songs and most of them are from before the 80s, so.

yeah, to be honest, I would be judging less because those things aren't old enough, and more because I think Staind and RCHP actually are just bad

they're bad bands

I love the Chilis but I agree with you about Staind

I accept that my passionate dislike of RHCP is idiosyncratic and unjustifiable

Can't stand em tho

Well they all do seem like douchebags.

LOL are you from my city, OP? Cause we have a station that plays mostly classic rock, but it'll slip in stuff that totally isn't.

We also have a station that plays soft metal and hard rock and then they'll randomly throw in Evanescence (which i don't really categorize as that much).

Probably any city with a classic rock station could say this, because probably 90% of classic rock stations in the US are owned by 1 or 2 companies and programmed largely off central playlists

Not a lot of regional variation or independent radio around anymore at all

As someone who used to listen to a classic rock station, I think it's terrible when they get stuck in a 1970's blues-rock glut.

Saaaame.

I'm with you there. I guess they go by age, but in no way, shape, or form is 'Cherry Pie' a classic to me, and never will be.

This show (Dean) got me into classic rock like nobody's business.
