While looking at the photos of the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Agnes in 1972, it occurred to us that the 1970s were just awful.
Worst decade ever.

Except for a couple of things, the 70’s were great. I’d take them over the 20’s so far
Yep, 1940s were the worse
Fascism and the rise of the communist threat.
I kind of enjoyed the 70s; and the 80s were pretty good.
2020’s -when communists staged a coup and installed a dictator.
Let’s all sing together! YOUUUUUUUUUU light up my liffffffffe! You give me hooooooope...to carrrrrrryyy onnnnnnnn...
Are you kidding me? The 70s were awesome! Best decade of my 6 decade life.
70’s were awesome...best music, best women, best food.
If you were lucky to go to H.S. in the early mid 70’s you snuck in just under the wire when the teachers went full on Leftist indoctrinators.
i got married and had a child in the 70’s so pretty good for me.
Plus the music was outstanding, IMHO.
naw, my kid learned to walk so she could disco dance.
God Bless Donna Summer.
Shoddy everything
Martin guitars made in the 70s are crap.
I lived the '70s. I don't find her opinion persuasive.
I’ll second that motion.
Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore Prepared to cross the line I could see the bridge was lined with bears But I didn't have a doggoned dime I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck "We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll" So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4"
The movies were the best, from The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, Jaws, Outlaw Josey Wales, Chinatown, Blazing Saddles and list could go on and on.
Music? Just the year 1973 was among the best ever- Dark Side of the Moon, Houses of the Holy, Quadrophenia, Raw Power. And many more exceptional albums came out that year.
Most of the cars sucked in the 70's but we still had Chevelles, Camaros, Mustangs, and the Barracuda.
No internet, so we played outside, and read real books. The government didn't spy on U S citizens. The sports heroes were real tough guys-Nolan Ryan, Vida Blue, Thurman Munson, Roger Staubach, Mean Joe Greene, Ken Stabler and O.J. Simpson.
You could smoke on a plane, at school, and at the movie theatre.
A bag of marijuana was $10.00. Pinball arcades were all over. The Farrah Fawcett poster.
She’s an idiot...she should concentrate on finding a competent beautician.
Yea, 50's to 60's was the time to buy guitars.
The 70s were the bleakest years, in my life.
The ‘70s rocked!
Hey... that was my era.
Doug Dickey - up the middle, up the middle, up the middle, punt.
The only saving grace was that Chris Collinsworth was on the team (we graduated in the same class from the College of Business Administration).
