What decade of music do you consider the "oldies"?

[JulieBeeRN]

I’d consider 1950s to be “oldies.” So 50s, 40s, etc.

FWIW, I was born in 1970.

I was born in the summer of ‘69. **cue Bryan Adams**

For me, it's the 50's and 60's.

Same...I really like 50s and 60s music, but sometimes ppl. include 70s in oldies and I am really not a fan of a lot of 70s music, so I really would rather they keep the 70s out of it lol.

Anything older than the 90s... I was born in 1991

'50's and '60's. My favorite music by far. Doo Wop is boss.

[E&Cmom]

50-60s .70-90s is “ my era”. I was born at the end of 69.

I recently heard the Spice Girls on an oldies station and wanted to cry into my Geritol

 

[WDWEPCOT]

That’s really sad Spice Girls ? I’m still not over hearing how old the Backstreet Boys are

 

[NannyBeBe]

50s and 60s -- when singers had to know how to sing and musicians had to know how to play an instrument.

Also 50's and 60's. The 70's were the beginning of classic rock.

Does to me would be the 70’s.
I was with my dd 24 and dgd 7 in a kids clothes shop and they were playing 80’s music .
And as I listened to Madonna’s Holiday, it gave me flashbacks of my youth.

I remember so-called "oldies" stations were called that starting in the 80s, and that hasn't really changed. But these days I'm thinking it's not terrestrial radio but satellite and streaming channels.

But I do remember when some early 70s music appeared if it was similar in sound.

 

[sasywtch]

50 early 60s were the oldies to me. 70's was the best music ever.

 

[BlovesC]

I was born in the 80s, so 'oldies' to me brings to mind 50s-70s music.

No kidding.

I have to respect them for owning it.
