Even if we cut them some slack and start the clock with the record itself, it's 40 years ago. I don't believe I've ever seen the word "contemporary" applied to anything that old.

I used to have lots of 40 year old contemporaries.

Then we aged another 20 years or so.

The Loft is definitely eclectic, but the music can go back all the way to the '50s. A real throwback to free-form. It definitely plays contemporary artists -- the first song in every set is almost always from a current release, usually one of the new ones being pushed that week -- but "contemporary" really shouldn't be in the description.

Always wondered how Elvis Presley managed to co-opt this one. But then again, he used quite a bit of music that was not his own. All of it, in fact! ;D

As did Sinatra, right? Nothing wrong with being strictly a singer.

He was doubling the pipe organ bass pedal one octave down, so nobody but nuclear subs heard it.
