Oldies But Goodies

Sky FM just played Kim Wilde's 'Kids In America' and it showed it as being from 1981. It's odd to realize that that song is 25 years old! I was just thinking the other day that Eric B and Rakim's 'Paid In Full' is from '87. That's 19 years ago! 'Paid In Full' is a modern classic. One of the first dance remixes to use rap and samples.

I remember as a kid thinking 'oldies' were songs from the 50's and 60's. It's odd to think we are now listening to 'oldies' when we hear stuff from the 80's and 90's.
