It was a decade that spawned the Sex Pistols and the Vietnam War, platform shoes and Saturday Night Fever.
The Seventies also gave us The Godfather and Space Hoppers but those glam rock years will forever live in the shadow of the Swinging Sixties.

I still watch it on You Tube.
Lol...I miss Rodney Dangerfield.
We watch the reruns on youtube....soulllllllllllllllll train....
There was a time when that was all I listened to, loved the O’Jays, The Ohio Players (especially those album covers, hee hee), early Commodores, etc.
The go go days of agriculture that led to terrible 1980’s farm crisis .
Good stuff. Seems like yesterday, but it’s a million miles away. No flash, just solid, kick-ass rock and roll. Van Zandt is The Man.
Jarts ( big lawn darts ) ended up the same.
Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti.
ML/NJ
A Fifth of Beethoven was my favorite song that year.
You left out Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Listening to rap will do that to you...
Makes you long for disco again.
“As I hunker down for this polar vortex, nothing will be like the winters of the late 70’s in the northeast, and I survived them.”
How well I remember more than one “coldest new years eve ever” on those years.
That would be my list.
“I remember the 70s and look back with a different perspective now knowing how thoroughly it was an Operation Mockingbird culture intentionally bringing down the character and capabilities of the American people.”
We were given many distractions to not see (not understand) what was happening to us.
It was certainly better than the others! And WAY better than Muskrat Love!
I was at a vintage clothes store in the summer and they a Led Zeppelin tour T-shirt from 1974 (if I remember correctly) with a price tag of $1100 USD. Wow sees.
My brother saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at a small venue in the Orlando area for $8.50 in 1980. He still has the ticket stub.
>> They left out the most important thing: my band, “Rampage.”
>>We opened for Steppenwolf, James Gang, Savoy Brown, recorded two limited >>release singles, were reviewed by Billboard, Cashbox, Record World very >>favorably, played a set at the Troubadour with the Who sitting in attendance, >>and were the Allman Bros. back stage guests at their Cincinnati Concert!
That’s awesome. Sadly, Kim Simmonds died a few days ago. All those bands are awesome and we still listen to them on our Friday night ritual “BITP” gatherings (beers in the park). I’ll have to look up Rampage; the name rings a bell. Do you happen to remember the English band Angel Witch who were coming up to international attention at the start of the 80s? (There’s a connection here).
>> If you think you’re gonna take her away, with your money and your cocaine...
+1 for the Tom Petty reference. I wish I could respond to all the music and kids’ stuff memories here. We’re all on the same page. (Except, Journey is pretty crap, sorry).
Agreed.
