Bit surprising. But then, I had to explain to someone why ABBA isn't 'oldies' today. The wikipedia page is wrong. The term oldies has nothing to do with time interval, and everything to do with a type of music popular in the '50s and '60s which no longer exists. It is physically impossible to call Nirvana or Taylor Swift oldies. She did not believe me.
