Just curious as to what the terms Classics and Oldies means to you.
Are the terms timeless? In other words, could Green Day's "Good Riddance" be considered a Classic even though it's less than 20 years old? Or does Classic mean a time-tested song, such as "In the Mood," "Rock Around The Clock" or "Stairway To Heaven"? Or, do Classic and Oldies refer to specific eras or genres in music? Or are they part of a timeframe, like 'anything over 40 years old is an oldie'?
I'll hold my thoughts until I see some other responses, which I suspect will vary based on age, and possibly location in the world.
