Classic Rock ended when Punk (good) and Disco (bad) took over. The 1980's was all about U2, REM, and the Police. I don't consider any of those Classic, certainly not in the same category as Zepplin, the Stones, and definately not Janis.

I have a Spotify playlist with classic rock that I named "Nirvana Is Not Classic Rock Dammit" in response to having heard them on a classic rock station in 2007. I was born in 1982. Classic Rock was over by then. I think of it as more of a genre than a temporal classification. 
To me, 70's rock has always had that classic rock vibe to it. I think 70's rock really ought to be a radio genre in itself. Same with 80's pop. Back in Pittsburgh, everybody listened to 70's rock. There's just something very mulletheaded about it.
I grew up liking Boston, and I still like The Hooters, though I think that's more 80's. You'd hear those from time to time in Pittsburgh, along with Styx.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I've always thought of Classic Rock as 60s and 70s. I remember the first time I heard Guns N' Roses on the Classic Rock station, I felt sooooo old! I consider 80s and early 90s to be retro rock and Nirvana to be just plain grunge rock.
