I remember, when I first started playing down in Florida in the early 80's, that 'Oldies' clubs used to feature 50's and 60's music... Elvis shows, Doo-wop, maybe some Beatles.

It's now 25 years later. Has anyone noticed a trend towards 'Oldies' clubs and bands playing 70's and 80's music yet? I STILL see clubs and acts that concentrate on 50's and 60's music, despite the obvious shrinking of the population that can actually remember those days (or afford to go out and party!) and that music...

Is it time for us to move on, and start to play the music of the 70's and 80's as 'oldies' music?

My duo plays primarily 70's stuff (acoustic folk-rock, reggae, pop artists like Fleetwood Mac and Elton John, etc.), but as of yet, no-one has labeled us as an 'oldies' band. How much longer do you think we have..?!

I can't wait to play 'Whole Lotta Love' or 'Born To Be Wild' in a tuxedo at a country club!
