Once Punk, New Wave and Metal came along, there was a phasing.  I think from the mid/late 70s to early 80s was the phasing out of what I would consider classic rock. 

From another perspective, I can see people viewing classic rock as classics from the past but that's not how I personally define it.  it's more of a late 60s through late 70s/sporadic 80s thing.

Seeing how the first station in the country to call themselves a "classic rock" station did so in 1983, I'm not sure how you consider anything after that as "classic rock."

So almost everything from Tom Petty is not classic rock

there are subject matter and subgenre related filters too.  classic rock radio tends to stick to blues-based hard rock bands and will occasionally play some progressive stuff by bands like rush, yes, ELP, and the like.  you might hear one of like four talking heads songs too but that's about the most "out there" a lot of stations will get.

you're not going to hear "california uber alles" or "wasted" on classic rock radio even though the dead kennedys and black flag were under the rock umbrella, from the right time period, and massively influential.

I guess that what I miss about free radio. Ain't got no heart now. You gotta pay for the deep cuts b-sides...

 

Why I've been an XM/Sirius listener for about 15 years now. 

Deep Tracks is a great channel. I've heard music on that channel I have not heard in literally decades.

All this stuff on the Classic Rock station just means we folks of a certain age need to find a Geezer Rock station now.

Speaking of. Steely Dan is in Charlotte July 2. A Sat. Up for tailgating with some of fellow Danners?

      Draft Grades

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.

      BREAKING: Panthers claim CB M.J. Devonshire off Waiver Wire

      Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
