Sigh...I miss the Seventies.

[provis99]

I was 7 in 1977. There was the Allman Brothers Band, Nazareth, Farrah Fawcett, banana skateboards, white guy afros, bell bottom jeans, Jimmy Carter as Prez, Star Wars, Coke and Sprite yoyos, everybody was seeing UFOs, my dad had a '71 Hemi 'cuda for a car, median income was peaking, and the Democrats stood for labor unions and the working class. The so-called Decade that Taste Forgot was the Golden Years to me.

1. I was in Jr. High & HS during the 1970s. I got to go to a Led Zeppelin AND a KISS concert.

Other than that, and Marathon Candy Bars, there's not much I miss from the Seventies.

14. Because it was the "thing" in highschool,

and I absolutely hated it then as I do now. There was much better music to listen to and enjoy, such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Synergy, Jean Michel Jarre, Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Morton Subotnik, Bebop Deluxe, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Mike Oldfield, and so many others in the same vein.

Disco was so very thankfully forgettable :)

Here's something just to keep you happy :D

6. I was in my twenties

If I had known what was coming in the future, from Reagan onwards, I would have found a way to stay in Japan.

7. My diploma indicates I was in college at that time

And I have no earthly reason to believe this college would lie to me.

:smoke:

[Arugula Latte]

9. Also Evel Knievel, The Six Million Dollar Man, Wacky Packs

[Archae]

11. I spent my teen years in the 70's

The music, movies, TV, lots of good memories.

And I still like disco!!! :-)

[Deep13]

12. Me too. It would still BE the '70s...

...if it weren't for the fucking '80s!

[MilesColtrane]

13. Adrienne Barbeau, Bottle Caps candy, 1970 Chevelle SS454...

ZZ Top's Fandango...

*sigh*

[meegbear]

16. I was 12 in '77 ...

wish I was 22 then - would've been bitchin'!

[ZombieHorde]

17. Some of the most brutal movies were made in the seventies.

The seventies also had some great music...

18. That's the year I graduated from college.

Good times, good times. Back then, even cops would sometimes look the other way if they saw you smoking a j. We all thought it wouldn't be long before it was decriminalized! And look what's happened, thanks to Raygun's war on drugs...it got so demonized (again)that it's a struggle getting it legal for medicinal purposes.
