Classic rock

Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station programming format which evolved from the album oriented rock (AOR) format in the early-1980s. In the United States, this rock music format now features a large playlist of songs ranging from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, with some stations including a limited number of current releases.

I've just found this tag and it's so stupid and useless. "Top Artists" must be tagged like that: progressive rock, psychedelic rock.

"Classic Rock" fans are so annoying! Sure, I enjoy the The Beatles and Deep Purple, but it wouldn't hurt to find anything still relevant. [2] yeah, I love classic rock, but I hate people who think that everybody who don't like this type of music are worse..

They think they're somehow above everyone in their age group by listening to music that's considered "old" by others in it. They brag about it, even though it's actually incredibly popular with people of all ages and it's not in any way "elitist".

What the hell is classic rock? Rock with ancient Greece/Rome references? There is no such thing. [2]

Dekkul: maybe it's 'classic' because The Rolling Stones 'Sticky Fingers' have a lot in common with Haydn. What a dumb tag.

Forced into retirement with cancer, now i have a lot of time to waste, shame those whom don't can't even get the rock, oldies and soft rock right, even more funny is it's the younger folks whom think they know, shame they don't want to have knowlege of our times but think they know it better than we do

The only thing classic rock and AIDS have in common is Freddie Mercury.
