How do you define classic rock anyway? I would never have considered AC/DC as such. Heavy metal/hard rock for me, but not classic. I suppose it depends on your timescale reference. For me, classic rock bands are the likes of Zep, Purple, Rainbow, T-Rex etc who all plied their trade in the 70s and who influenced a huge clutch of today's bands.

But what are the criteria, if any? Once a band has been in existence a certain number of years they become classic rock? Seems a little arbitrary to me...
