Oldies is a term commonly used to describe a radio format that concentrates on a period 15 to 55 years before the present day.

In the 1980s and 1990s, "oldies" meant the 15 years from the birth of rock n roll to the beginning of the singer-songwriter era of the early 1970s, or about 1955 to 1971.

In the early 2000s, 1970s music was increasingly included, and 1980s music is beginning to also be called "oldies", though the term "classic hits" is used to distinguish the new oldies from the Baby Boomer oldies.

Oldies tunes are typically from R&B, pop and rock music genres. Country, jazz, classical music, and other formats are generally not considered oldies music, although some of those genres have their own oldies format (for instance, classic country), and a number of songs "crossed over" from country to Top 40. Occasionally the term is used to describe the rare station that includes 1940s music as well, although music from before 1955 (coinciding with the "birth of rock'n'roll"), is typically the domain of the adult standards format. However, the term constitutes ambiguity for people who like old dancing music.

This format is sometimes called Golden Oldies (after another album series of the same name, which was sold through bulk TV commercials), though this term usually refers to music exclusively from the '50s and early '60s.  Oldies radio typically features artists such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, The Four Seasons, and Sam Cooke; as well as such musical movements and genres as doo-wop, soul music, Motown, the British Invasion, early girl groups, surf music, and bubblegum pop.

The great thing about oldies unlike other genres of music is that it never goes out of style. When we hear one of these songs playing ( And we can't seem to remember the name of it or who sang it.  But know the tune).  We remember where we were the first time we heard that song or who that special someone was that was with us when we labeled it as "our song." So yell to everyone and get them out of the other room, gather round your computer, crank up the volume on your speakers, and as you click through the song titles on the following pages let me take you for a walk down memory lane.
