Late 70’s/Early 80’s music is the best. It’s happy, because it was decade of happiness. Vietnam was over. The Civil Rights fight was won. AIDS wasn’t discovered yet. The flying car was only 20 years away (LOL). The news was only one hour a day, so there wasn’t time to obsess on every “crisis”. The miserable angst and anger-filled crap from the beginning of grunge and rap until today just makes you want to kill yourself. 70’s music made you want to have fun and live.

Good points. The 60’s music was mostly psychedelic nonsense and anti-war protest. Sure, the 70’s were influenced by the corporate types, but they forced the musicians to produce quality stuff, not just random crap, say, like rap.

You mean like the Yom Kippur War, Watergate, Nixon's resignation, OPEC oil embargo, fall of Saigon, coming of the next Ice Age, inflation, Three Mile Island, odd/even gas days, Iranian hostages, etc.......

That’s what 80s music was but I don’t know why you want to include the late 70s in it.
