rune--you're right--i forgot about the first album, for some reason. so there is a guitar in some supertramp song, and one of their better ones no less--so erase them from the question list....
the criteria for inclusion on the list laid out above was guitar driven, and apparently played for the most part by white men.
it is a shame, the way this "classic rock" category was defined since the rise of formatted radio (early 1970s in its current form)---most of the music from the 1960s occurred in dialogues that crossed racial and stylistic boundaires--apparently it doesnt any more.
maybe that an important reason why the form is dead.
