Might not be rock enough. Most of his stuff was either country or gospel. Classic rock stations don't seem to play anything before the late 60s.

Most classic rock stations start their eras around the time of the British Invasion. Elvis was already established as a night club entertainer in the class of Sinatra and Dean Martin, et al by that time.

Bc Elvis is not considered to be in the classic rock genre.

Classic rock is from the mid sixties on. The Oldies format is fifties through early sixties. Oldies stations play a shite ton of Elvis.

Because the Beatles won the battle for music's soul. Elvis, while remembered fondly, lost.

because they're a bunch of freedom-hating communists

Classic rock stations play the same songs over and over.

...same reason you don't hear Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, Chuck Berry, Dion & the Belmonts, Fats Dominoe, Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, etc on classic rock stations. Elvis was the King of the predecessors to Classic Rock.
