Re: classic rock?
[ QUOTE ]
i can somewhat understand GNR, but chains and nirvana aren't even really rock. nirvana not really started but "launched" a whole new scene of music and now they have moved from the alternative station (the scene they launched) to classic rock. FWIW, "teen spirit" was played after fleetwood mac "gypsy" and before supertamp "the logical song." [/ QUOTE ] huh?

It\'s simple math guys
Every "classic rock" station (forget your definition of what is and isn't classic rock) is targeting men 25-54, a huge chunk of that being 35+. A guy who was in college during the heyday, and will have fond memories of Pearl Jam, STP, Alice in Chains, etc... is now in his 30's. You will also notice that most classic rock stations have all but eliminated their 1960's catalog, as that audience has moved away from radio, or to Oldies formats. Forget trying to define classic rock, it boils down to what songs are testing well among the target demo.

Re: classic rock?
[ QUOTE ]
huh? [/ QUOTE ] please elaborate. since you didn't elaborate i guess i will. nirvana isn't rock, they are a mix of punk/alt rock and pop that comes out as grunge which isn't rock n' roll. they didn't start grunge music even though people think they did but they did "launch" it or take it to the next level or shove it to the mainstream or whatever you think is the appropriate wording. nirvana's influences are punk and ska bands and some pop bands and you hear it in their music. when i made the comment i was making i was talking about being confused on how the grunge era could be sandwiched in between stevie nicks and breakfast in america, thats a wide range. why nirvana? why hasn't STP, soundgarden, pearl jam been on a classic rock station?

Re: classic rock?
I've heard various GnR and Nirvana songs on my classic rock stations. I've never heard any AiC though. It would be sweet if I did though. Radio in WV = crappy.
