I think of the 50's as basically containing most of the "oldies" music. Acts like Chuck Berry, Franki Valli, early Beatles, early Elvis, etc. The 60s didn't have much in the way of "oldies" in my opinion, that was mostly "classic rock". You had the late Beatles stuff, the Doors, The Who, Zeppelin, etc. The 70s still had plenty of classic rock (Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Queen), but also a lot of disco. Then the 80s, which you can just call all of it "80s", whether you're talking about big hair bands like Poison or other 80's stuff like the Clash and Michael Jackson.

Then the 90s busted through with all kinds of stuff: grunge (Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden), rap really developed, pop sensations like Madonna and Janet Jackson kept going strong, and towards the end of the 90s you had the teenie boppers and boy bands (Britney, N Sync, Backstreet, 98 degrees).

But no, I don't see 60's or 70's stuff as "oldies."
