I had that exact same experience when our classic rock station started playing U2 on rotation. Worse than getting grey hairs.

It’s true, even the old guard, like Iggy Pop (who has an amazing new album), go relatively unnoticed and overshadowed.

Sure, I arrange my albums that way too. But each one you mentioned broke down a wall to take rock one step further. I don’t think Alternative, Grunge or Punk are “Classic Rock”

My Mom had a business where they would model clothes from the mall, weekly at a nice hotel’s restaurant. The Plasmatics played in town, stayed at that hotel, and happened to have lunch there. My Mom had to approach their table and ask if they wanted the models to stop by for each round. 😂
