Best decade ever. Best cars. Best music until disco in 78. Best looking chicks. Groovy times.

When an AM radio station could make or break a rock act.
Or just create one from whole cloth.

Best music INCLUDING disco, it was the “funnest”. :)

Best cars?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say - no - it was the decade of the smogged out, choked out motors. The decade of 172 horsepower 400 cubic inch engines as opposed to today’s 300+ HP engines of half that size. It was the decade where the Corvette could barely do a 1/4 mile drag run in 16.1 seconds (1978) whereas even today, trucks like my 2017 F-150 with the twin turbo 3.5 liter did the 1/4 mile in under 15 seconds.

Tough times for vehicles (thanks, Jimmy Carter) though there were some really nice lookers out there (and some duds).
