    1998? 1988? 1978? 1968? and when does the cut off arrive? At what point does the bands rider request an aromatherapist rather than a stripper?

    For me Classic Rock is cememted in the archive of my mind with 3 day weeks, queues for petrol and Halls Pictorial Weekly and kinda peters out with the emergence of the NWOBHM generation.

    Anything pre-grunge in my opinion.
    And by that, I mean bands which stopped being at their creative peak by the early 90's. Not bands, such as Metallica who managed to survive the revolution.

    But bands like Rolling Stones, Motley Crue, AC/DC, all classic rock.

    Yeah I think the dawn of punk is the natural cut off point for most. I think when music really went tribal in Ireland circa 1979 with Mods Punks Teds Ska Rockers kinda it divided up the youth a bit where as before we'd all get along fine sitting around listening to zep.

    classic rock hmmm, anything from the 1960s to the mid 80s. That said I'd perceive Radiohead, Nirvana and some other bands as classic rock already because I can see their influence reverberating throughout the decades. I'm such there are forgotten classics from the 60s and 70s.

    Everyone's gonna have an opinion on what defines classic rock.
    Some albums from the 90s could be defined as classic rock by some people.
    For me, classic rock is Led Zeppelin. The doors, CSNY, Nei Young, that ilk. I wouldnt classify the 80s hair metal as classic rock personally, but can see that they have their place and are "classic!"
