Subject: What is "Oldies" music?
Written By: Full_House_Fan on 02/18/05 at 9:24 pm
I'd say pre-1975. The 80s music and late 70s is old enough to be oldies but in my opinion music will have to morph into something totally new like it did in the 60s. For now oldies means 50s, 60s, and early 70s in my opinion.

Pre-1970, especially when you are talking about eras like "The British Invasion" or "The Motown Sound".

Pre 1970, although in my mind I always think of it as being 40s and 50s ???

I'd say pre-1975. Early '70s music is 30 + years old now, that's old enough to be counted as oldies.

pre 70s. classic rock radio stations will play music that came out no earlier than 1970. 50s and 60s rock music is considered "oldies"

On the "Oldies" station here, I had a freind who was fired for playing "Lyin' Eyes by The Eagles...a 1975 song. I called the program director and he told me they don't allow anything to be played after 1974....ever! Well, that was 3 years ago and he's long since left. Now the latest songs I've heard are from 1977. I answered pre-1975. As for Classic Rock Stations...around here they dive back to 1965 all the time, Yardbirds, Beatles, Cream, The Doors ect.

When I was kid, one of my sisters used to listen to an "oldies" station-while my other sisters and myself used to listen to the top 40 station. I find it "interesting" that now oldies stations are playing what we used to listen on the top 40 station. Does that mean I'm getting old? :-\\

I think pre 1970. I just can't bring myself to call anything in the 70s oldies yet! ;)

Pre-1975. Just because I'm used to the repertoire our Oldies station used to play when I was younger. I think I almost cried when they started playing "Stayin Alive" and "YMCA"
