I guess AC/DC’s Back In Black (1980) is not classic. There is Van Halen & Aerosmith’s catalogue & more. Very unclassic

Classic Rock is rock music from the 60s/70s, not the 80s/90s.

Just a reminder that Secretary Hegseth's giddy suggestion of deploying active duty Marines to LA would require invoking the Insurrection Act. Without that, it violates the law to utilize active duty forces for domestic law enforcement.
