The songs in Grease are all anachronistic -- some more obviously than
others (i.e., the disco beat in the title song), but even in those
songs that are meant to evoke 1950's rock and roll, none of them
would fool anyone who's even passingly familiar with the pop music of
the era into thinking that they'd actually been written in the 1950's.
I don't know why this bothers Mark, since -- like "Happy Days" -- the
disconnect caused by the 1950's vs. 1970's clash is the whole point
of the show.

If by that you mean that all the original songs in Grease were
written in the 70s and therefore are 70s songs, then I certainly
can't argue with you about that.
I was under the impression that the complaint had to do with pop
songs not originally written for the musical Grease which were
widely known in the 70s which were included in the musical for
effect, and that no pop songs not originally written for the
musical but were widely known in the 50s were used.
I thought someone might provide a list of 70s songs used in Grease.
