Oooh, I love to start mess, so what year/years would y’all consider the cutoff for classic rock to be? I’m thinking ‘81 or ‘82, but I’m open to debate.

I wonder about that too. In my collection I kinda separate Classic Rock from popular 80s Rock (Van Halen, Def Leppard etc) More recently, I've seen them categorized as classic rock. IDK.

Journey kind of straddles both, imo.

I'm not certain but that sounds about right.


The 8-track release cutoff theory is interesting.

Well then you're missing out on some amazing legendary music.

Nu metal is a joke considered to classic rock, just saying.
theres some merit in nu metal i'd say. Slipknot, System Of A Down, Deftones....all extremely creative and legendary bands.

I’m with you. I really don’t see Def Leppard and the like as classic rock. 80’s rock is something else entirely to me (not necessarily bad though—just different). I’d agree on Journey though. They snuck a more 70’s, classic rock sound into the 80’s.

Rock music in the 80s was pretty bad imo lol, Except Metallica, U2 (80s heyday) and The Police, it was pretty bad lol.

Yup love classical rock, I like a lot of sub genres of rock. Rock has gradually become my number 1 favourite genre of music, though I like funk + jazz too

Classic rock was definitely part of my 1980s teenage life, but honestly, I'm more of a 70s soft rock kinda girl...I need something that would have made it onto Soft AM afternoon radio, like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, & Chicago, lol. Funny enough, I remember being a kid and loving the way Fleetwood Mac sounded, but the sight of Stevie Nicks used to scare the bejeezus out of me with all that damned Witchy-Witchy twirling around the stage. That heffa was too intense for my child eyes...Stevie in rock music and Issac Hayes in soul music, I swear seeing either of them used to give my lil' ass anxiety on sight. :laugh2

I used to listen to 'light rock & less talk' radio stations constantly as a tween. I found a lot of it super dreamy & romantic as hell.

I still love Bread, James Taylor, America, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Davis, etc.

There's a lot of good classic rock songs. I've been meaning to listen to more and find new songs that I like.

Issa vent yall.
This dope genre is being diluted and It's really frustrating. You HATE to see it.

The title "classic rock" is just so broad so the category keeps evolving with time.
Once upon a time it indicated a very specific era and sound, but now it has other music mixed in too: After chilling out to"Hotel California" or "Riders on The Storm", who wants that followed up by "We're Not Gonna Take It", "Pour Some Sugar on Me" or even worse "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? This is the real "b!tch Don't Kill My Vibe"

Any playlist or station that tries to sprinkle that sh!t in and bundle it all together needs to STAHP. They are an Enemy of The (music loving) People and need to get up OUT my genre.

The dope "classic rock" tag started out really pure and needs to remain sacred. (Whew! that just sounded like some Pro_d Boy sh!t) The genre needs to be protected. The version we know and love could definitely fade away as the Boomers get older and older. Is there a movement for this because if not it needs to be started.

Now I'm a black girl and the year is 2021 and there's a LOT more important matters going on in the world. (Besides, tell the truth, in today's angry climate if I championed the movement I'd probably get pelted with rocks and garbage lol) so I'll just appreciate the music while I have
it and HOPE that somebody's on the case.

PS: I already have the music on albums and CDs, but there's nothing like the element of surprise of authentic classic rock radio. That "Oh-sh!t" factor when they play the next gem is priceless.

Just wanted to share:
I LOOVE this gem but thought it was an R&B song sung by a black woman for WAY longer than I should have.

The Eagles: I Cant Tell You Why
