Don't forget bell-bottoms and platformed shoes.

This decade included all of my years at school and was probably the most uncomfortable extended period of my life.
I remember this decade for meeting my two lifelong companions;
1. Running and solo sports (the main if not only reason that I even made it adulthood)
2. My pervasive lonliness and isolation.
It was also the period when I learned that I was academically gifted and I learned to harness that gift, which I suppose has been my other lifelong companion.
There was some great music too; I think this decade with the height of the Disoc era; Donna Summer; Chaka Khan and of course Michael Jackson's first solo album right at the end of the decade.
There was also the punk rock movement, followed by new wave, romantics...............
A great music decade for me.
and of course a wonderful movie about a boxer who didn't know how to give up, that won an Oscar.
Thanks Rocky

Speaking of which, the album "Layla" was from the 70's. One of my favorites. Here's a live version of one of the songs on it.

Oh yeah! How could I forget: some of Zappa's best was from the 70's.* My favorite was "Hot Rats" which included "Peaches en Regalia." Here it is.

My avatar is demonstrating how well my pet rock does his only trick. "Stay!"
Speaking of which, the Stones did some of their best during the 70's.

Oh yeh, I had a MAJOR crush on Debbie Harry and was a big fan of Deep Purple; I think my favorite was Stormbringer.
In case no one has mentioned it yet..................(laughs)...............Led Zep

Led Zep goes without saying. Oops, I said it.
I also liked (gasp) some prog rock.
