OK, here's my take.
When in HS and college, the Classic Rock stations all played the standbys: Stones, Who, Zep, Floyd, but there were bands that were still recording that got airplay: Van Halen, Bon Jovi and all the hair bands, Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, The Cars, Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Black Crows... There was diversity because there were new albums that were integrated into that format. Classic Rock stations don't play any new music. They used to, but not any more, at least not around here.
Rock on the radio is dead. When stations start playing/promoting local and indie bands again, that might breath some life back into it.
