Early morning thought
8:32am, Prospect Expressway, Brooklyn:
"Fine, 'U2' can be considered 'Classic Rock', but I draw the line at 'Stone Temple Pilots'."

Hahahahaha. I went through this ten years ago. Welcome to middle age.
Posted by: Eric at November 1, 2006 05:41 PMHmm, which U2 song was it. I mean even the stuff from the "Joshua Tree" is now 20 years old. Anything from the much underappreciated "Unforgetable Fire" or "War" of course can be considered classic rock. If they actually played something off "Boy" or "October"...well thats not classic rock, that's just obscure.

Posted by: Karol at November 1, 2006 05:52 PMWell let's see....1983....yeah ok, classic rock. Man law !
But STP....no.
Posted by: Von Bek at November 1, 2006 05:56 PMClassic Rock is 1970's and before.
Everything else needs another name.
So, what radio station in the metro NYC area is playing U2 and STP in the morning anyways? I thought most of the rock stations had fled the city...

When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
Classic rock is any music you listened to in high school and college. And much to the dismay of the music industry, that is the rock you will prefer to listen to for the rest of your life.
Posted by: Jake at November 2, 2006 10:36 AMClassic rock = hard rock. I can remember hearing the Stone Temple Pilots on classic rock stations back in the 90s.
Posted by: Peter at November 2, 2006 11:00 AMNew rock classification suggestion:
Respirator Rock
Geezer Rock
Cialis Rock
Vintage Rock
Classic Rock
Extra Sharp Aged Rock
First Pressing Rock
Rock
What is that crap?
I was listening to that old song "Spooky" they play every Halloween. That song has to be at least 40 years old. Still sounds great.
Posted by: jay at November 2, 2006 12:05 PMNow, when a band has a "tribute band" associated with them, maybe they're classic. I just found out "Hair Supply" is a metal tribute to "Air Supply." Now this I've gotta hear...
Posted by: Toby at November 2, 2006 03:37 PMnot all classic rock is hard rock - lynyrd skynyrd is classic but southern rock not hard rock. and air supply is most definately not hard.
