I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

    if this classification of "classic rock" has always been around and always meant some variation of "rock from a previous era"

    That's the thing, it hasn't always been around. The rock of the previous era like Elvis and Little Richard, was not called classic rock at the time, and generally isn't considered classic rock even now. It's considered rock and roll specifically
