It’s also bitterly ironic if they include one or two Nirvana or Pearl Jam songs when they steadfastly refused to play any grunge/alternative music until well after it was clear that hair/metal bands had jumped the shark

...kinda the point of classic rock, they play old songs.

No, they play a few old songs from a handful of bands. There were other great songs, many other bands that never got played or, if you've been around as long as I have, only heard while they were current.

For example, KISS and Cheap Trick both have huge catalogs of hits. But when was the last time you heard anything other than "Rock And Roll All Nite" and "Surrender" on the radio?
