   I guess I have a contrarian view on this. Since
radio started playing rock 'n' roll, a song never has
needed to be very old to be an oldie. In the early
1960s, Everly Brothers or Elvis recordings from four
years earlier were golden oldies. In 1968, a 1965
Beatles' record was an oldie on WRKO. Etc., up to the
present. The way radio formats developed, if it wasn't
a current, it had be called something. A song that
dropped off the chart 18 months ago is an oldie.
There's nothing new here.

   I think the trouble is that the thought of oldies
from the '90s just makes a lot of us who hang out on
this list feel like we're solid-gold,
blast-from-the-past, million-dollar-weekend
SUPEROLDIES. My advice, don't get too upset, it could
be bad for your heart :))
