What is the accepted year range for classic rock now?

“Classic”. Not to bag on Weezer at all, they’re good, this is the same crap as Van Halen entering “classic” around 2000. About the same ~15 year lag sort of thing where “classic” really just means “okay, we admit it, these songs aren’t modern anymore”.

Blue album will be 22 in May.

My brother color matched his bedroom’s walls to that CD.

I remember staying up to watch them on Letterman in 94 when the album launched.

A while back, Everclear’s Father of Mine came on the local alternative station. Not being in the mood, I switched over to the classic rock station. What was playing? Everclear’s Father of Mine .

Buddy Holly? It had to be Buddy Holly.

Oo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you’re Mary Tyler Moore

NOOO!

“Classic Rock” to me is a finite genre based on the time FROM the origins of rock and blues (Call it Bill Halley or Chuck Berry).

It’s a point in the evolution of rock, not a moving target based on where we are today.

Weezer is not — and should never be — classic rock. It was too far down the evolutionary chain to even be considered that.

That is all.

I dislike this. Classic rock stations keep changing their playlist, and phasing out older songs. This makes terms like “classic” and “oldies” confusing. Just dedicate the station to a particular decade and be done with it.

My local classic rock station played Chuck Berry and Alice in Chains back to back last weekend. I still don’t know what to make of it.

“Say it ain’t so”

Yeah, it does make you feel old, doesn't it? Still can't get over hearing Micheal Jackson or Madonna on the oldies station, and those artists are far older.

In Mexico, they sell a VW Jetta trim called Clasico.

Also, remember the Caprice Classic and Malibu Classic. WTFBBQ?

Hasn’t the radio format always been a moving target time frame though? I distinctly remember calling up and requesting something from Queen’s “The Game” (probably ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’) back in 91 or 92 and being told it was too new. A couple years later that was in regular rotation without much hemming and hawing.

Even something brand new can be classic, by definition.

But “Classic Rock” is a genre, not a moving target.

I think it’s funny when two stations play the same song at the same time. Even better to switch between the two stations repeatedly during the song :p

True, I remember they played rock and Roll Train by AC/DC back in 08? It was a brand new song like you said

It was always odd hearing STYX- Come Sail Away right after Ozzy- Bark at the Moon. Hell, hearing Stevie Nicks- Landslide right after Iron Maiden- The Trooper lol :]

I also get confused when Paranoid Android from Radiohead plays right after Clapton. I’m old now.
