The best classic rock album of all time.

I still don't believe it's as simple as all that. I think the basic ingredients of the Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Buddy Holly "Rock 'N' Roll" are still very much a part of the AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Van Halen "Rock".

To a greater and then a lesser extent.

Jimmy Page was playing Blues-Rock in the Yardbirds, it wasn't until Led Zep that it became what we now look back on and call "Classic Rock". Similarly The Who were a Mod band (Who had a mid career dabble with the psychedelia fad) before also finding that "Classic Rock" sound with 'Live at Leeds' and 'Who's Next'.

I wonder why '50s rock isn't considered classic rock. 

Because "rock" and "Rock n' Roll" aren't the same thing.

And what is the difference? Please explain technically, as I won't take an explanation along the lines of "Chuck Berry is rock n' roll, Rolling Stones are rock".

Okay time for me sort this one out...

Rock 'n' Roll / Blues / Rockabilly = Music played by black and white men from the 50s with brylcreem quiffs, who are  impeccably dressed in smart matching suits, and who probably have an "and" after their name.

Classic Rock / Rock / RAWK = Music played by white men from the 70s stripped to the waist, dripping in sweat, with long flowing hair, eyeliner and high-pitched operatic voices who like fondling/licking their phallic Guitars. Let me be clear, there is nothing homo-erotic about "Classic Rock" at all.

....oh and they sound different too but the easiest for you to judge that, is to listen to them both and then hear the difference.

Citizen Kane... I don't like it

Obviously this statement calls in to question the validity of your opinions on everything else.

Saying that an opinion can be valid or invalid is pretty much one of the must stupid things one can say. Especially when it comes to an opinion of an art.

Firstly, it was obviously a joke.

Secondly, I didn't say your opinion was invalid. The intent of the joke was to suggest that 'not liking Citizen Kane', was a first sign of diminished mental competence. The kind of mental incompetence that would legally invalidate documents such as a Will.

Would somebody stating that "Jar-Jar Binks was the most emotionally moving character ever comitted to celluloid" not cause you treat their subsequent statements with suspicion? Can somebody not have poor judgment? Is the word "taste" simply something I imagined?
