80's rock music is oldies now?

Hi! I didn't know that. I guess radio stations categorize songs from 1980 to 1989 as the 80's. Most probably the poison song was released late in 1989. At least it is under the CLASSIC rock oldie, which means it never fades away, am I right? Thanks for the post. Have a great day!

not at all...music in general cannot become old...untill somebody make alive by listening...And by the way music of 80´determinate a hudge change of fascion,of dancing style, of way to express ourself. All music create atmosphere, I additionally consider that is enougth listen some music from 70´for exemple that the "time machine" drive me directly at the envojment fascion and feelings of that period.. I am not nostalgic, but the best way to re-live something is by listen a music of the period of that something... Ciao from BRELUSTE dk

for mine i would say rock has been going since the 50 to us oldies.

The other week i was in a cab and he was playing the radio. Now I am only 23 and I knew all the songs on the oldies year special. It was 1994. I can't believe that was considered as old as it seemed like only a few years ago to me.

i got scared when i turned on vh-1 one day,and suddenly,it had gotten better LOL.yea,70's and 80's seem to be under classic now, which feels strange to hear it called.i never thought i'd be listening to an "oldies" station,but now they're playing music i actually listen to.

yeah,i say that they are old by now and it in 2008.i love the 80s,and grew up in that time frame.the 80s were my favorite decade of all.
