What is Classic Rock?

In my mind it's basically anything from rock bands in the late 60s and 70s (not including disco). But then I was born in 1970. 

I think most think it's anything rock that is older than 10 years...which is  pretty much what I considered classic rock when I first really started paying attention to it in the late 80's. My parents considered it to mean music from their youth (50 s - early 60s).

So maybe that's it...music from your youth (pre-teen years?) that you identify with. Going to be different for everyone.

I think rock that is 20+ years older is classic, and rock and roll can mean a lot of different genres.

If it's 40/50 years older, it's oldies.  So yeah, there's a lot of stuff approaching or already into oldies that are called classic rock :).

I always thought of it more as a state of mind - for example, "Welcome to the Jungle" is classic rock, but anything by Poison and their ilk is not to me, even though they are about the same time period (it has to be "classic!" and that does not necessarily mean old). For the most part this genre is from the late 60s to the early 80s.

Saw Don Felder (Eagles guitarist from 1974-2001) and his band, Kansas and Styx Wednesday night in Cary. Of course, Felder did all the Eagles songs he wrote all or part of, and Tommy Shaw joined him onstage to do Hotel California. 

Not a big Kansas fan, so we went and got some food from one of the food trucks around the Booth.

Styx was as tight as I've ever seen them, and I've seen them live probably 15 times. 

Good show....

I agree with ABH, mainly because we lived it.

Classic Rock to me was late 60's to about 1980

Disco, Punk, etc transitioned for awhile and then rock made a comeback of sorts with "hair bands"in the mid 80's

There was a long time in Charlotte when the "Q" was THE radio station, then, around 1980, they switched and started playing all kinds of punk crap like Men Without Hats, and Thomas Dolby.  I was a freshman in college and it hugely sucked.

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
