[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":6c2f3]Think what you want... but I know it's not called "classic rock". Not all of it for that matter. My Mother graduated in the early 60s and she has like 3 CDs that says right on the cover... "GOLDEN OLDIES - 50s/60s/70s".[/quote:6c2f3]
Where I live, there are two radio stations that play music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, what you like to classify as "Golden Oldies".
One is Oldies 103.3. This station is mainly music from the 50s and early 60s. [url="http://www.oldies1033.com/"]http://www.oldies1033.com/[/url]
The other is 100.7, WZLX, CLASSIC ROCK. This plays music ranging from the late 60s up to, in some cases, the early 80s.

It's obviously different where you live, but down in Boston that's just how it is.
The only thing they both play is usually The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Neil Diamond.
[quote:6c2f3] You're missing the entire point of calling it an "oldie". It's not a new type of music... it's just a category for music that was made 30 to 40 years ago.. whether it be rock/jazz/ etc

Yeah no fucking kidding. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out. But, it's hard to say that music from the 50s and music from the 70s sound similar. I guess I've just always thought that oldies were subdivided into two parts, Golden Oldies, which is primarily music from the early 50s, and Classic Rock, which is primarily music from the 70s and 60s.
There's a huge difference between the most popular music of the 50s and the most popular music of the 70s. Compare anything by Elvis in the 50s to the most popular Led Zeppelin songs and its hard to say they fit in the same category.
Oh and to answer your original question, I religiously listen to Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. oOo:
