What exactly is the difference between classic rock and oldies rock?

I'm looking for a basic definition and timeline. I have examples of groups and artists.

Classic Rock উত্তর

fanfly said:
My interpretation is that oldies are from the 50s, edging into the 60s. Elvis, the Platters, Everly Brothers, early Beatles, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino etc.
Classic rock is from the late 60s and 70s, edging into the 80s. Later Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, পরাকাষ্ঠা Floyd, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc.

Oldies are the birth of rock'n'roll and Classic Rock is the পরবর্তি generation.

Of course, it's very subjective and I've heard all pre-80s সঙ্গীত referred to as 'oldies' before [usually দ্বারা today's youth]. There's really no set definition because the terms 'oldies' and 'classic rock' were coined দ্বারা radio stations to define what they were playing.

Ah. No wonder I can't figure it out. Cuz I know mostly late "oldies" and early "classic".

I'm not sure on this, but I think the oldies are from the 50's and the classics are the 60's, and 70's.

I always thought oldies were fifies and sixties and classic was late sixties thru the seventies. Not arguing with you, that's just the impression I got.

আপনি can tell দ্বারা the tone of the recording of the song. If it sounds a bit muffled, then it was done in the 60s.

I think that Classic Rock refers to like the 60's, 70's and 80's (kinda) rock while Oldies is আরো general--like not just rock but older kinds of other সঙ্গীত too.
I don't think they have a set difference though, it's pretty open to interpretation.
