I suppose the thing would be songs that you listened to back then but stopped listening to. So in your case, pink floyd wouldn't count because it has staying power and you kept listening, rather than "you haven't listened to since high school".

If you randomly pick some billboard hits of the time that you haven't heard in a while, you realize why no one has played it in a while despite you listening when it was new.

Music of the (insert decade) is generally better than music of today largely by virtue of having a decade to choose from, versus picking over the most recent year or two

That's a really good point. The most of the crap that was played in the 80s didn't make it into the "top 100 songs of the 80s" list, hence what's left over today is not the crap.
