In 10 Years, Will Pearl Jam Be Considered "Classic Rock"?

My local classic rock station just started playing Sugar Ray.

In the 90s, classic rock stations played music from the 60s & 70s.  It's only fitting in the 2010s - soon to be 2020s - that classic rock stations play music from the 80s & 90s.

And I just realized most of this thread is from 2007.  So to answer the thread title: yes.

Crazy, right?

There was a song by Bowling for Soup I think?  Anywho the song was called 1985 and there was a line that said "When did Motley Crue become classic rock?!?"

I always knew it was inevitable.  I just wish radio stations had a pulse and would play things other than Alive and Smells Like Teen Spirit.  I swear these bands have other songs.

Oh yeah, it's so frustrating how stations limit the songs from bands with huge catalogues.  I did hear "Better Man" in a Goodwill store about a year ago.  That was cool!
