Definitely classic rock. The 90's was along time ago at this point!
Agreed. We were closer to the release of Led Zeppelin's first album when Ten came out than we are now to the release of Ten.
I remember how it felt like Led Zeppelin had been around forever in the 80's and their first album was only 10 years old!
Or in high school going to see the Rolling Stones on their early 80's stadium tour and they seemed old and I remember people saying "SEE THEM NOW BEFORE IT"S TOO LATE!" hahaha

Additionally, it’s probably classic rock to someone who didn’t grow up with it. I wasn’t around for bands like The Beatles and Led Zep so that feels like classic rock to me due to its “mystique.” I saw it all happen for bands like PJ and Nirvana (from Nevermind onwards, anyway) so there are just good memories... no mystique.
anyone who thinks "classic" rock is only stuck in the 60's and 70's is stuck in a moment in time and dosen't want to accept that we are all get older and have an expiration date.

No one is thinking that. No one will argue with you if the definition of classic means more than 20 years old. To me classic rock never related to age, but to a certain era/style of rock music. I don't think we need to label something by age. That is stupid. It will be weird when classic rocks cover a period of music over 100 years long when we get to 2070 (assuming rock started in 1950).

Dont we do that now with, i dont know CLASSICAL music? At this rate anyway, rock is dead to the new generation. Its all classic to them, even if the song came out a week ago.
Total Dad rock for me. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Gonna See My Friend, Supersonic and Lightning Bolt? They can still bare their teeth on occasion (seems to me they usually do with songs in but hell the Foos and Green Day are Dad rock now and their gigs have a harder edge than PJ at present. Obviously classic rock too-hell when I got into PJ Zep had been gone 15 years and anything from the 70s I thought was classic.

Anybody else cringe a little now when pj plays songs like "deep"?
I love Deep on Ten. I love Deep from early shows. But yea, if you don’t have the same passion that you once did, it’s time to retire it. That can be said for any song where the passion isn’t the same. Or rework it. And call it Shallow.
Can't touch the bottom In too the dad rock, genre Uh-huh, can't touch the bottom Into dad rock, yeah
I listen to Nails and Little Kim’s first album on top of everything else. And I’m a dad. Does that make Nails dad rock too? That term is wack. Now if PJ ventures into Yacht Rock waters we will have a problem.

I hear ya (sorta the same with Leash) but seeing that I’ve yet to witness Deep (goddam why didn’t I attend Toronto 2 in 2011????) I hope they play it at least one more time.
I think PJ is classic rock. I started hearing 90s era bands on classic rock radio about 12 years ago. It's rock that's classic. Modern rock is mostly bland, without lead singers who have a serious set of identifiable pipes. Given that PJ put out their first album 27+ years ago I definitely think it falls into classic rock.
