There is still no clear defining classification of what constitutes as classic rock. Bands don't simply become classic rock after x number of years have passed. Nirvana isn't classic rock. Metallica isn't classic rock. Tool isn't classic rock. Radiohead isn't classic rock. The intermixing of different genres of rock is frustrating enough. John Cougar, Tom Petty, the Cars, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Foreigner, and the Beatles don't necessarily belong on the same station.

If I had to guess, it's roughly defined as mid/late 60s to early/mid 90s.
Could be wrong that but that's pretty much what I hear when I listen.

But that's the main reason I stay with XM. The genres are much more clearly defined and I can swap to pretty much whatever I'm in the mood for that day.

But that's only a recent transition. Ten years ago, you never heard any music from the '90s on a classic rock station. Now, all of the sudden radio executives are seeking to capitalize on nostalgia among Generation Xers and think that grunge, alternative rock, and metal fit with classic rock.

This is the case with me as well. I'm especially glad that I have it now
