Time is cruel

1999 was 24 years ago. 24 years before 1999 was 1975, when Wish You Were Here, Physical Graffiti, and Toys in the Attic all came out. Those were definitely classic rock then.
But here's the gut punch. If you were listening to Physical Graffiti in 1975, 24 years earlier was 1951.
That was the end of big band music. You know, oldies.
About a quarter century ago
Fuck
Classic, sure. But not oldies, which were generally 50s-60s, 35 years before 1999.
