The other day I was listening to a classic rock station on FM and they played a Nirvana song.

I feel like "Classic Rock" means specifically 60s-late 70s, and anything else has better things to be called

Anyway I think the most classic rockest song is pretty obvious

Classic rock is more a radio format than a genre of music.

Classic rock is like 70s poo poo, like all the classics or whatever, and also hair metal from the 80s. The poo poo that happened in the transitional period from the 70s to the 80s is dad rock. Hth.

I'm glad we have this thread about this often ignored era in music. Looking forward to clicking through these unlabeled youtube links and finding previously unheard greats. Maybe I'll get my nephew to burn me a mix CD to play in my Corvette C4.

This rock simply isn't classic, it reeks of newness. I'm pissed off. In my day if it said classic rock then the rock was classic. It's unbelievable the kind of nonsense radio people are up to these days. The Bible would disagree but I think they might be sent to hell for doing this. I wouldn't really wish it on them but the price of crime isn't to be decided by me. Classic rock or just plain rock, the distinction was made for a reason. People used to die over this. Two decades before classic rock when they were trying to figure out all the science about just how to go about creating classic rock, they predicted this. They said "There's a chance the whole thing might get labeled wrong." They shuddered to think but here it is and it's happening. We can only be glad most of them are not here today to see it happen. It truly is awful to see it happen. If you had asked me I would have said that I would never hope to see it happen but now it's here, happening. Just the other day I was thinking about it, and I crushed a whole vase in my hand and looked down at my hand to see it bleeding. I truly did hate to see it happen and to hear about it. There was hooting and hollering across the street and I can only think that it was about this whole ordeal and everyone is just on edge about it. It's just a terrible time for everyone and you just hate to see it happen. I just hope everyone stays safe and may we pray to God.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

beatles are one of the best rock bands of all time easily, you could even say they are the best if it were possible to quantify a rock band's quality

I think hiding those subliminal messages in the White Album telling Charlie Manson to start a race war would hardly qualify them as “the best”

This was always one of my favorite songs, not just classic rock songs.

Merry Clayton (the female vocalist) just kills it. If you listen super close at 3:01 when her voice cracks just a touch on that crazy high note, you can hear Keith Richards yell "YEAH!" because he knew it was loving awesome.
