With a much better singer they could be a sorry imitation of the White Stripes.

As for the genre being about progression, well that was easy in the seventies, when all this stuff was new. Now there's not so much different that can be attempted, and if you go too far off the path you wander into experimental territory, which I guess wasn't really a thing in the seventies, at least not as it is now. So again, we're stuck. I would certainly agree that bands I listen to have done nothing to advance the cause of music, ie progress it forward, but that doesn't stop me liking them. The only one I'd give a pass to in that regard would be Marillion, who, along with Radiohead, were one of the first to go for the "pay what you like" business model, and also one of the first to get fans to pre-pay for (essentially I guess finance) their next albums. So that's pretty progressive. Musically, without a question, not in the least, not even close. Excellent. Also

I'd call it rock produced roughly between the years of 65-76. After the initial rock and roll period (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, early Beatles/Beach Boys et al) and before punk and new wave emerged and influenced everything starting in the late 70's. Recent acts who take on a 60's/70's revival sound, like Britpop bands like Oasis and Blur for instance, could also be called classic rock, IMO. You might exclude particularly experimental or avant garde stuff from the classic rock label too. For instance I've always thought people referring to The Velvet Underground or early Freak Out! era Frank Zappa as classic rock was weird since they sound so much different from what is generally considered classic rock.
