I graduated High School in 1978.

Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, Charley Daniels, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, there was plenty of good stuff in the Seventies.

Mausers in barrels at Department Stores and Hardware stores for $30.

Cars and clothes sucked.

The eighties though.... the eighties rocked..... I think.....what I can remember of them.....

The further they strayed from black R&B, the worse they got.

At the time, if they had a horn section, I was onboard, as much as a kid born in '71 could be..

Born in 1966 so I remember the 70's well.

Seemed like a really weird time to me.  Everything polyester, psychedelic colors and patterns everywhere, stupid TV shows...  (Big foot vs. 6 million dollar man)

Loved the 80's though!

Harvest gold and puke green. The first house I can remember going up in had red carpet through out. Brite red f$king carpet......

I was born in 1970,

The 1980’s was the most awesome decade that ever existed, but the ‘70’s were close

I was there and rocking long hair and a leisure suit with platform soles on my shoes. My dad kept threatening to set my hair on fire or shave it off in my sleep if I didn't get it cut, I just gave him the peace sign and rocked on.

One thing that came to mind looking at the OP's pics. The flamboyant outfits might have been because most of those dudes are painfully ugly.

And pretty much all were top of the charts every time they released a recording.

And sold out every concert.

I was born in 67 and agree..............as a young kid, I was fascinated by the psychedelic-ness of the era, and my uncle was a big Ziggy Stardust/Bowie fan.............cant forget the H.R. Pufinstuf shows either. It was an acid trip without the acid

In a time out of mind, talent was valued above appearance.

If you don't believe me, have a look at Leslie West.

The Bell helmet that cracked at the seams around my head in '87 looked exactly like that.

My brain didn't leak out of my ears, but my face would have preferred the full-face Shoei that I'd left at home that day, I'm sure.
