So out of Oasis (mid 90s) and The Smiths (mid 80s), would Oasis sound more dated compared with the current charts, or would The Smiths have sounded more dated 10 years ago compared with the charts of the mid 2000s? Obviously The Smiths sound older than Oasis, but I wonder because of the rapid changes to the charts in the past 10 years (you no longer get rock/indie in the charts), and the fact that bands such as Interpol (heavily influenced by Joy Division and 80s indie) were having hits in the mid 2000s.
