Jeff Wrangler:
Can somebody define "classic rock" for me? ???
CellarDweller:
Hiya Jeff.
According to Wikipedia:
Typically, classic rock stations play rock songs from the mid-1960s through the 1980s. Some of the songs overlap with those played on oldies stations, but classic rock also focuses on hard rock and heavy metal bands and artists that are less radio friendly and therefore are usually not played on oldies stations. Classic rock stations have historically been hesitant to add 1990s rock such as alternative rock and grunge to their playlists, due in part to the drastic difference in style, but (mirroring a similar trend in classic country, where a similar 1990-era divide also exists) a small number of classic rock stations began adding 1990s music in the early 2010s.[18] Unlike AOR radio stations, which played all tracks from albums, classic rock plays a much more limited playlist of charting singles and popular album tracks from artists and bands.
They have a partial list here.

Thanks, Chuck.

You're welcome!

It finally happened. I've just been waiting for it. That radio station I tune my clock radio to, the station that plays songs from the 1970s to, I guess, the early 1990s, woke me up this morning with "My Sharona." ;D
