Hold on as long as you can Pete.

I don't even know who this guy is but it brings up an interesting question for me. What do you consider classic rock? Rock from 1950-1975? Or anything older than 20 years old? Is grunge era 90s considered classic rock these days?

It's just my opinion but I view about 1964 to 1980 or so as the classic rock period. Punk and new wave had started by the late 70s which were subgenres in their own right. Disco started in the mid-70s but you can't really consider that rock. Prior to 64 was more the proto-rock period (rockabilly, pre-British invasion, skiffle, etc).

Of course many classic rock bands that peaked in that era continued making music in later years but by then had mostly hit the downside or gone in different directions.

Grunge, hair-bands, nu-metal...these are older subgenres now but I'd classify them differently. Again just my opinion.
