Not soft rock, because that's the pop/rock combination. I mean chill music, like Pink Floyd, some of Led Zeppelin, etc. etc. Stuff that isn't all screaming and shrieking guitars.

Classic rock. I'm getting old, I can remember when this was heavy metal.

I've never heard of mellow rock but there is soft rock with bands like:
America
Air Supply
Bread
Eagles
Reo Speedwagon
Journey
There is also acoustic rock which is rock music played on umamplified instruments.

if you go to the 70s, look at what was termed the LA Sound .... that is, old acts (old for you all, anyway) like the Eagles, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, etc. This genre was often defined as "mellow" ---- pretty much anything that follows those lines would be termed 'mellow rock'

Not thinking there's an official category for that, but I personally would put bands like Pink Floyd, Meatloaf, U2, Journey, Reo Speedwagon, Steely Dan, Doobie Bros, etc., into that category.

There's not normally one called "mellow rock" but you could certainly one, although I wouldn't put most of Led Zep in it. Maybe some mid-Floyd. Lots of other bands, sure.

i think maybe the term you would be looking for would be considered as a genre known commonly as "stoner rock"
