| What is Classic Rock? (from Yahoo Music Engine) During the 70's, FM radio stations gradually diluted the free wheeling innovations of pirate radio and early FM stations. Theoretically, the new stations did what the pioneers did - play album tracks instead of singles - but they soon relied on a set group of artists for their playlists. The one thing that tied all these "album rock" artists together was their dedication to the album as their vehicle of their music, plus their reliance on rock as foundation of their music. That means album rock consisted of everything from Heavy Metal and Southern-Blues rockers to Prog Rock and singer-songwriters with supporting rock bands. It was fairly diverse, actually, but they all shared a certain artistic aesthetic and little bit of indulgence, plus their constant exposure on FM radio. These album rock bands ruled the 70's airwaves. Though they persevered into the 80's, fewer and fewer of their albums hit the airwaves; only their older material continues to get substantial radio play on what came to be known as "classic rock" radio. By the 90's, this older material was also heard at the reunion concerts many of these bands mounted. |
