I think classic rock has more to do with the timeline and less to do with the actual quality of the music. They can't play something from the 00s and call it classic rock because it's less than 10-12 years old. But something from '91 (like the songs I mentioned) is considered to be classic because of its age.

The newer stuff will eventually get played on classic rock radio. Just probably not for another 8-10 years or so.

I agree but probably not as heavy rotation as the TJT and AB stuff. Heck, will radio even still be around? I suppose it will.

I think 'Dad Rock' is the best way to describe much of it.

You're right. I heard Brown Sugar just today. Or is that grand-dad rock? :D

I think it will be, though it'll be different. Perhaps we'll just have satellite radio instead? I do agree the newer stuff most likely won't get as much play as JT/AB, but it'll probably get a fair amount of airplay.
