This thread has me thinking that maybe the War on Drugs did a lot more good than most people give it credit for.

Was born in 1956, so the 1970s carried me through high school and college.
I feel cheated. The 1970s had the worst music imaginable, from utter dreck like Captain & Tenille to embarrasingly silly glitter rock to complete shit like disco. Yes, there were a few good bands and some epic songs, but that was the minority in the music world. TV sucked 100%. Love Boat. Mork & Mindy. Laverne & Shirley. The Brady Bunch. The only thing worth watching was reruns of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Cars were ugly. Clothing fashion was retarded. Interior design style was a joke. I cannot hate the 1970s enough. The 1980s were awesome, and a much-needed antidote. |

I fondly remember the 70's back in the "Love The One You're With" days. Bush, bush, bush and more bush.
Great times! |

I was born in 60. Music to me was more of a semi decade thing. Around '65 to around the late 70s generally kicked ass. Then disco and pop country started to take over in the mid 70s for the next several years which sucked ass.
There was a decent amount of good music from then into the mid to late 80s that was almost obscured by all the hair "metal " bullshit ,which at the time was about as bad as the disco and pop country from 10 years before. The 90s came along and it was like a breath of fresh air. |

Yeah, and I can't believe Liberace was gay. I mean, women loved him! I didn't see that one coming. And damn near everyone watched HeeHaw on Saturday night. Very few admitted to it. View Quote |

My uncle and a friend of mine got me into riding back then. My Mom was horrified and my step dad thought I was an idiot to ride in Los Angeles traffic. My friend could only afford a Honda Shadow. I remember anyone who rode a Shadow in 1980s, especially around Harley guys wasn't looked kindly on.

"I just can't be seen riding into Sturgis on a Jap-Bike", he said. Asshole... |

I was there, born in 64 and being a young guy back then was awesome! Tits everywhere, women wore the most sheer/clingy/see through clothing with no bras all the time. Loved it!

I was there, but the faggotry was embarrassing. Not saying that those were better times, just simpler and less stressful. Everyone was about as messed up as any generation before or since in one way or another but we weren't compelled, nor had the means, to broadcast our every thought or emotion to the world like people do today. |

I have a feeling I would have enjoyed the '70s. I sure do miss the '80s, even though I was only 9 when they ended.
Yeah, the famous people looked dumb. Who cares. |
