    I barely remember the 90’s. Definitely classic, just like us!

    Classic rock is a radio format and one where, depending on where you live, plays Pearl Jam.

    A radio station in my area used to be "Classic Rock." They'd play bands like the Eagles, Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns n Roses, etc.

    Over the past few years, they've slowly added stuff from the early 90s on a lighter rotation than the previous bands. They'll play STP, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, etc...but maybe only one or two of those bands per hour...and when they do, it's early 90s stuff.

    They now call themselves "Iconic Rock."

    Probably. Hey, it's better to be a "classic" than simply forgotten.
    Just curious (as I don't listen to much radio anymore)...what PJ songs get played on these stations? I assume the "big 4" from Ten, maybe Daughter and Small Town, and definitely Better Man...and (gasp) Last Kiss, I suppose. Anything else? RVM? Corduroy? Given To Fly?????

    It's basically Jeremy, Even Flow, YLed and Alive. Maybe Daughter or Betterman if they're feeling a bit wild.

    Can't Deny Me got some play on the modern rock stations last year.

    For me 'classic rock' has always meant 60s and 70s...

    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.

    Classical music is a style and has nothing to do with age.  

    If it was all about age then it would be impossible to write new classical music.

    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 B) 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.

    It trips me out to think that 90s music is to kids today what 60’s music was to me. A different time, a different place.
