In today's episode Russ is joined by Luxetone studio owner and Ola Sweet guitarist Brandon Wallace to search for the answer to the evolving question; what is classic rock? Is it a genre? Is it a radio format? Are the Rolling Stones 4 old white-guys past their prime or rock and roll gods? If you didn't experience Pearl Jam's Ten and Nirvana's Nevermind does that make those albums "classic" in your eyes? AudioHammock discusses!

Opening track is "Ether" by Silent Partner
