"Absolutely not! Lots of amazing music in the 70s, in fact it might be the best decade! I don't think there is a worst decade for music, there's good and bad in all of them. "
the 70s had some great music. Bring it back

Debate away  I'm not a huge fan of the 80s myself. There are great songs and I could easily list a top 10 for the 80s. |

Let's see OP - the 70s bought us:
Disco
Punk
New Wave
Two Tone
Rap
Glam Rock
To name but a few genres that included some awesome bands/songs
The 80s bought us:
The rise of manufactured music e.g. Stock Aitken Waterman
Hits by Lena Martell, St Winifred's School Choir, Spitting Image, Black Lace, The Tweets and more
70s don't sound so bad when you put it like that does it? |

No way!
So much variation!
Bands from the late sixties were still going strong, The Who for example.
Glam Rock, Disco.
Rock was really taking off...
Late seventies, the SKA and Mod revival. Madness and the Jam for example.
Yeah, there was some crap stuff, but probably far less than we have now. |

OP, No! It was the best decade, for me. Almost everything I still listen to is from the '70s.
Plus, today is the 40th anniversary of the The Specials, The Specials. You can't knock the '70s today. |

I don’t think I can actually make a top ten, as soon as you’ve made a list you realise you’ve forgotten such’n’such but here are a few that spring to mind.
CCR Travelling Band
Looking Out My Backdoor
Faces Stay With Me
Rory Gallagher Crest of a Wave
Eagles Desperado
Free Alright Now
SLADE anything from the SLADE back catalogue really, I could listen to them on loop all day long
Hope there are one or two in there that do it for others as well. |

I was at my most musically impressionable in the 80’s and was 24 when the decade ended. There were some great stuff in the early part of the decade but the second half was pretty poor.
The 70’s gave us so many different genres and sounds and those genres seemed to fade in the 80’s, the decade when music became more manufactured than ever before and as a result lost a little bit of magic.
You only have to look at someone like Nile Rodgers to see how the 70’s continues to influence today. |

For me the 70's experience was the subculture known as Northern Soul. Which was mainly obscure artists from 60's black America, who were trying to make it big in the soul music business. Unfortunately some of them never did and their demo records were forgotten, only to be rediscovered by English DJ's who wanted to find rare music to play at packed out all-night venues here in the UK. So for me the 70's was a great time for music. |

Ok you think the 70’s was bad
Here’s why it wasn’t
Queen / bohemian rhapsody
Slade / far far away
Rod Stewart / Maggie May
David Bowie’s life on Mars
Sparks / this town ain’t big enough for the both of us
Eagles / hotel California
Beegeed / more than a woman
Boston / more than a feeling
Elvia / in the ghetto
Then you have
buzzcocks
Sex pistols
The jam
Stranglers
Blonde
How can you say 70’s music was worse decade |

Some fantastic lists here..70s were colourful, eccentric years of fashion and music , such a vast array of sounds and so many had their fashion styles to match...wish it was still around in some respects. ..the streets were awash with colour and great sounds...and as evidence to the strength of the sounds just think...many of these bands are still touring..how many from the 80s onwards have actually stuck around..great days  |

Lol keef - I always quote “early” UB40 too lol
Never has a band become quite such a travesty of what they once were.
To go from “King” and “Tyler” to “I got you babe” i still find heartbreaking |

I'm the same - there was a time when they were the band I had seen the most live - then they went "reggaeoke" and I lost interest after they milked the Labour Of Love thing to death - that said Promises & Lies was a fairly decent album. |

Great Debate Guys & Gals Really Enjoy Discusing Music
Fantastic lists and agree whole heartily but throwing another log on the fire
My inspiration for this forum post was watching Sounds of the 70' it was a Prog Rock special and made me think with all the great bands of the 1970's Prog Rock and its pretentiousness let the decade down.
Discuss !!

I saw them in 1980 and they were brilliant. I still listen to Signing Off, for me it’s one of reggae’s seminal albums. What they became even before the fall out between the Campbell brothers is criminal. |
