The 70s were just cooler.
The 50s rocked.
The 60s were cool.
The 70s sucked.
The 80s & 90s were nowheres-ville.

Most music today is complete garbage.Not really. I hardly ever listen to "classic" rock stations. I like quite a bit of the hard music out there today: Linkin Park, POD, Boy Sets Fire, Sevendust, etc. Great to crank up while writing code.

I liked the Remember the 60s issue that came out near the end of '72.
To: smith288

Quite frankly, I could like without most of them although I do still kind of like the Dan of Steel and some earlier Floyd. The Clash, The Cars, Tom Petty, Squeeze, The B-52s, Big Country, Dire Straits, The Cure, U2, and REM all rocked in the early / mid-80s although they're mostly a-holes now both musically and politically. And Split Enz "I Got You" is still one of the oddly great rock numbers.
To: oh8eleven
No way did the 50s rock. Hell, they didn't even get interesting til somewhere around 58. The 60s rocked. But the 70s rule and that's all there is to it. If you look around, you will see that the decade that is still drawing ppl in is the 70s. Plain and simple. I dont think I've seen too many poodle skirts or pompadours lately, or parachute pants.

The only thing close to the humor of that magazine was Spy Magazine.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that this writer was either not alive, or too young to understand what was going on, during the wretched Carter administration.I turned 16 in 1970, and I cannot imagine anyone my age ever watching 'That '70s Show'.
I know I never had the slightest interest in seeing it.
To: Chi-townChief
If "That '70s Show" is more quickly passing into the great hereafter of creativity, it deserves credit for having provided more humor than most sitcoms, and for being cast well. Some of the actors are making strides elsewhere. Didn't they say the same thing when Friends ended... the only future the Friends cast has had has been in People magazine and the tabloids.

The 50s had Chuck Berry, Elvis, Little Richard, Jerry Lee, Carl Perkins, Ray Charles, and all those great doo-wop groups for starters. The 70s had the BeeGees and the Starland Vocal Band.

Well Ashton Kutcher got to bonk Demi Moore out of the deal...which will end up being his legacy, no doubt...
