Oldies Quotations

If you believe that your best years are behind you, you've guaranteed they are; I'm going to dance into that good night, with the oldies turned up loud.

I want to go back to the format that radio started with rock n' roll, with country artists and rhythm and blues with that oldies type feeling. I want to put it all together and create a Top 40 of rhythm and blues and country and straight blues with Wolfman at the reins.

I grew up on oldies like the Beatles and the Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin and The Who.

I don't want to be an oldies act, kind of dragging around on the road just for the money.

I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

I find it always pleasurable talking with young people, particularly those aspiring to be writers, out of nostalgia, and because I've always felt that we oldies can learn so much from them and draw from them inspiration in our flagging and rickety years.

Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

If we don't do that enough, then we're an oldies station all of a sudden.

I can listen to an oldies station all day long,

I thought most of the great soul artists were either relegated to the oldies circuit or being stuffed into what R&B has become. I had in mind this idea of a long, continuing series of records.

We liked to play happy music, especially the oldies that Mike loved.

We've proven that we can go out on tour and play a hits package for years to come. But we don't want to become an oldies act, not that there's anything wrong with it. We've still got the desire to write and record new music, too.

Sometimes I listen to '60s or oldies stations to see if they're going to play a Beach Boys song.
