Classic rock, although loosely defined, generally includes the music from rock bands formed between 1960 and 1990, or as a term simple for rock.
The most common classic rock band line-up is a lead guitar player, a rhythm guitar player, a bass guitar player, and a drummer, although many bands also feature a keyboardist, at least on some tracks.
Classic rock is also a term used to mean a fusion of classical and rock music, or more usually, rock music arranged for and played by a symphony orchestra.
