Quite so. However, that covers just the 'hits'. Most of us bought the 
albums and/or listened to the 'B' sides and had many favorites that never 
even had air play 'back then'. Resurrecting a good deal of that would be 
fun. We probably have not heard some of those tunes for 40 years. Nor 
that's 'oldies'!

Another problem with oldies stations is the ugly over-use of modern 
processing. The tunes sound worse, just in a different way, than a jukebox 
'45 that has had 1000 plays.
