Absolutely not.

You tell me what Dire Staits and Genesis have in common, what their sylistic similarities are... Classic Rock is a genre used to describe virtually every non-punk rock act from the 70s that had modest popularity, it's the broadest and most pointless term in the music world, but on the plus side saying you think all classic rock is "*** cliched crap" dosen't suggest an open mind.

Snickers has been right about pretty much everything.

Yeah that statement was completely wrong looking back.

And if you think there are any less people invoved in grunge that are 'in it for the money' than any other genre you are seriously deluding yourself. If artists were about 'the music' and not money perhaps you can point me in the direction of all the best critically acclaimed grunge albums released on independent labels between 1994 & 2000.

In other words critical acclaim and an independent label determines weither or not a band is in it for the music and not the money, thats essentially what you are saying.

And grunge, while hardly significant by todays standards, was a credible musical movement, it is by no means one of the worst things to have happened to music, you need to save that term for something far more deserving, like brit pop.

mmm, genres ae wierd, infact emo, could fall under classic rock.. jk, but it probably will one day, be called classic rock ( in the sense of what most uninformed people think is emo, though i suppose it is emo, if its refered to as emo, and real emo should be called something else)

Uh, those same people call Green Day the saviors of punk, I suppose we should label Green Day that also?

Like I already said, pretty much every form of music in the 70s save punk rock, (most) jazz fusion and avant garde is essentially what is known as classic rock.

The term emo has become rather broad nowadays I guess, but it dosent come close to the broadness of classic rock.

Don't get dependent on me.

I'm the type that can be defending someone one moment and assraping them the next, thats why they call me a jack of all trades.

Always cover your booty.
