Well, based on the following test I found, the answer would be no, but give it a few more years.
"If you aren’t sure whether a particular song or album should be considered classic rock, subject it to this test:
When was it recorded? If it was within the past 15-20 years, it hasn’t been around long enough to be considered classic, no matter how big a hit it was or who recorded it. On the other hand, the mere fact that it was recorded 30 years ago doesn’t automatically mean it’s considered classic.
How big a hit was it? It may have been a personal favorite of yours, but in order to qualify as classic, it has to have been the personal favorite of a few million of your closest friends, too.
Who recorded it? This will no doubt be a factor in how big a hit it was, but if only one or two songs from a particular album were widely accepted, it isn’t likely the artist or group falls into the classic category.
Can you still hear it on the radio and find it in the record store? Purple People Eater may have been a huge hit in 1958, but you won't hear it on a classic rock station today. As with automobiles, there’s a big difference between classic and antique.
Just as classic rock radio stations don’t agree universally on what exact time period encompasses classic rock, there isn’t a hard and fast dictionary definition for us to apply. Through the process of listening to it, learning about it, and discussing it with others, you’ll eventually be able to know it when you hear it."

Can Ride the Lightning be considered classic rock? Or One? You might say classic metal, but not rock.

Id define classic rock as more of the Rolling Stones and such, its more along the lines of what I'd like to call "Classic Metal"

I on'y consider song before early 70's to be classic rock... perhaps the teens of today would think so though.
Eeek. I feel old.

Not yet. 20 yrs after its release, then it is considered Classic Metal. Thanks for making me feel old.
