I suppose if one views "classic rock" as being a tag applied to rock of a certain time period, as opposed to a genre, then it is applicable to all styles and would include Bat. But I tend to think of "classic rock" as a genre of guitar driven late '60s - 1970's rock n roll, compared to which Bat is very different.
