Among the "Bad", The Liberal Media Establishment comes of age changing the course of history by toppling a president and causing a withdrawl from Vietnam.

Among the "Good", the Ramones save rock and roll.

lest we not forget... 21% interest rates nor gas lines or odd-even gas rationing and of course the death of the real muscle car.

The Eagles and the Allman Brothers manage to be the best of the 70's and the worst of the 21st century. I mean, all those classic rock radio stations just gotta let it go, man...

Don't forget porno chic, radical chic, and widespread cocaine use.

Some on FR would probably consider them to be "good" things from the 70s.
