Steve Not enough girlie dancers Quality matey Cheers Martyn

I've heard the term "modern oldies" used & to be fair I understand what they mean.............I think Cheers Martyn

Matt Sounds about right to me Cheers Martyn

Steve Spot on & I've got the perfect example of what you mean................heard Ruby Winters-Better recently which was hammered to death & I was sick of hearing it but having not heard it for years heard it out recently & thought how good is this & what a great oldie Cheers Martyn

Russ But would they have put some "oldies" or "newies" in........or...........heaven forbid put some "old newies" or"new oldies" in I'll get my coat Cheers Martyn

Think I might do that with my playbox............hopefully people will feel sorry for me & put some descent tunes in Cheers Martyn

I can see that,personally I think 12 months is a bit soon I would be a bit long I think.........maybe a few years at least? The boot issue has changed over the years as I see it,in the old days a tune was dropped like a stone as soon as it was booted but these days it doesn't seem to have that effect.Probably as some of the strangest stuff gets booted along with the big tunes these days plus people don't seem to interested whether they're dancing to boots or originals........better stop there about that subject Cheers Martyn

Kev Shhhhhh she might hear you...........but yes Cheers Martyn

Steve Thought that would be the case,in one of my early posts I said there wasn't a right or wrong but I was just interested how people choose when a tune becomes an oldie.I've heard a few things that I personally don't consider when deciding for myself Cheers Martyn

That's the thing I'm trying to find out............when does a newie stop been a newie & become an oldie? The when you heard it is a distraction to what I've been trying find out from people. Cheers Martyn

But you still haven't answered the question I was trying to get at of "when" does a tune become an oldie?At what point along the timeline does it become an oldie from a newie? Cheers Martyn

Adam Complicated!!..........my head hurts The personal timeline is probably one for another thread & not quite what I was trying to get at but got distracted? Cheers Martyn

Chalky I agree as I'm in the timeline gang & that's how I qualify in my head a tune.But surely you can't hear something new (to you) & just say it's an oldie? I suppose the "when you hear something" disagreement is a slight distraction from the "Oldie" term I was trying to get clarified?What I was trying to find out is when people think it becomes an oldie from been a "newie"?? Cheers Martyn

Come along Kevin put your zimmer frame down & join in properly Cheers Martyn

Kev You sound surprised.......Lynn asked me to post it really,you know she's the one who knows about music in our house In my mind it's always been about the timeline of a tune & thought the discussion would have been along those lines but it's evident others view what makes an oldie differently which has surprised me? Cheers Martyn

Oldie is an oldie is a bit simplistic isn't it,it's like saying a dog is a dog but that's not right is it?A dog is a Rottweiler or a Chihuahua? So you're saying it's the timeline of the tune that makes it an oldie & I'm probably in that gang. But if you are hearing tunes that are new to you how do you know where they belong on that timeline,so they can't be an oldie to you because the timeline starts the day you hear it? Cheers Martyn

I think that is going to be more or less what we end up with after we've gone on about for 5 pages Cheers Martyn

Yep defiantly Cheers Martyn

Chalky Some of them would have taken you back to your youff,not played or heard Gordon Keith & Joyce Kennedy out for what seems like ever & they sounded brill. Cheers Martyn

Steve So my cunning plan of starting this thread up & getting my playlist noticed has foiled me breaking into the oldies scene as they won't know my oldies Seriously though by just the few reply's already I'm starting to think the term "Oldies" means different thing to different people.I thought it was going turn into a debate of how long 2,3,5 or 10 years before it becomes an oldie but it looks like it's about far more then just the year??? Cheers Martyn

Thanks..........I'll close the thread I agree with part of what you're saying about once they start the downward slope they are on there way to becoming oldies.What about those tunes that have been around for ages without ever getting any regular plays & then burst into life,take Dottie & Millie & C L Blast massive now but were bit players of the nighter scene in the 90t's..........they are oldies to me but to most hearing them recently they are new sounds?God I'm confusing myself now (yes I know it's not hard) Cheers Martyn

Steve I disagree(surprise,surprise ).If an undiscovered tune is played but it was made if 1966 that's not an oldie it's a new tune to the scene? Cheers Martyn

Hi Rick I agree all oldies to me & thought I'd got it about right with the lesser played ones with the more well known?The one I could see some maybe questioning is The Philharmonics?But a massive nighter tune back in the day & that's when we start to get to your point of peoples knowledge,because it's not filtered down to masses yet so they would not class it as oldie?I heard loads of stuff played last night that are oldies but were new to me.........so what do I class them as...........a new oldies Take care. Cheers Martyn
