Baseball was pretty good in the 1970's: the Swinging A's, the Big Red Machine, Yankees-Dodgers.
Some rock music was pretty good: the Rolling Stones, Little Feat, and some other music.
Aside from sports and some rock music, the rest of the decade sucked.
The clothes were the worst. Remember those horrid platform shoes, Afros and puka beads? (puka beads, at least, are back.)
