    Some of the Best years in music and film without a doubt. Lifestyle Carefree but not wild like the 60s, not confused like the 80s and 90s, not overly sensitive and consumerised like the 00s onwards .

    Any love?

    Yes, great music and film but a lean time to live in Ireland.

    I wasn't alive- unless you ask anti abortion groups. I was unborn.

    We had the best summer ever in ireland (1976).

    David Bowie on TOTP singing Starman.

    Joined the E.U.

    Won the Eurovision for the first time (ok it was Dana but she was cute in those days).

    '73 was a great year for my family :)
    My earliest memories of music are from the mid 70s , Queen, David Bowie etc , music for me that still sounds as good today and I still listen to it.
    The checked flares and roll neck jumpers not so much:)

    A bit of a mixed bag for me. Early 70s, yes, but much of the best was a direct development from some of the better 60s music. The mid-decade of course introduced the horror of disco ...

    I look back on the IRA/UDA/UVF, the Arab-Israeli wars and skyrocketing interest rates and fuel prices and the strikes and the power cuts with great nostalgia! Thank god the music and films were so good. Otherwise it was a bit **** (oh and Monty Python and related project were excellent of course)

    I'm sorry to differ with you sir, but you are the care taker. You've always been the caretaker. I should know sir. I've always been here.

    Maybe 5 songs at most from the tailend of the 70's I like, the rest i think are rubbish.

    My recollection of the 70s was that it was very brown.

    The 70's are the start of where it all went completely and utterly f**ked. I have as much love for it as I have the inclination for ripping my own dick off with my bare hands and throwing it in the f**king river.

    So were the 80s, awful brown patterns everywhere. I prefer the 60's for the music even though I'm a late 70s baby.

    I like the Sex Pistols et al, but not so much the Jimmy Savile's and Gary Glitter's.

    I think that says more about your taste in music than it does about the 1970s.

    Can just about remember 1978 when Kate Bush "Wuthering Heights" was on non stop. And Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street".

    Punk, hiphop and metal disagree. Prog and disco don't seem pleased either. Some great rock music aside early 70's ghetto funk ruled the decade.

    Chopper bikes & that tennis girl scratching her sublime arse are the two finest things to come out of the 1970s.
