Not every Oldie is in a rut.

Not all memorable songs were Oldies hits and there are some incredible recordings by established artists that were not, but were later included on compilations of their works.

I get what this thread is for, but I have to quibble with the built-in assumptions as stated.

You can try to knock it but anybody who listens without a built-in agenda and animus will not be fooled.

Hey, I still listen to music from as far back as the forties. There is no genre (except electro/techno) not found in my playlists.

But I have a few friends and relatives who are just stuck in 1965-1980 and I have made it an avocation to try and open up their ears just a wee bit.
