I don’t know what’s considered oldies, but for me that would be the 90s. I’ll listen to some 80s, but virtually anything before that is not on my playlist.

I have always considered the term Oldies to apply to pre-Beatles Top 40 tunes. However, my own tastes go back much further.

My personal Top 10 chart is currently comprised of songs from 1926-1932--and it changes periodically. The current #1 song is The Waltz You Saved for Me by Wayne King, which edged out last month's chart-topper Have You Forgotten? by Ted Wallace, now sitting at #2. Both are from 1931.

Fiji, many of my favorite songs are from the Standards era, too, the 20s through 40s and 50s.

PS: I was referring to the radio business category term, “Oldies.” I understand it means different things to different listeners.
