cneil4 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I loved the seventies...I was a preteen at the end of it. Here is what I loved Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Beatles, My Redskins football jacket with leather sleeves, Star Wars (which led to mass produced toy lines), Tron, The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, Saturday Night Live, Atari 2600, Microwaves, and Muscle Cars. What I didn't like Gas Crisis, Inflation, Cold War, Iran Hostage Crisis. [ATTACH]45563[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I was born in 1960 so the 70's were my teen years. So here are some of the things that come to mind first thing. Skynryd's plane crash Muscle cars and all of the movies that featured them. Like "Eat my Dust" with Ron Howard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68bGnNYNgsM Vanishing Point The original Gone in 60 Seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spearfeather Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hate to admit I was a big Kiss fan for a few years. Haven't put on one of their albums in 30 years. ( but I did have most of them ). Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, along with Good Times ( loved Thelma ), What's Happening, Kung Fu, Planet of the Apes, Six Million Dollar Man, and yes, The Dukes. I used to buy 45's at a local drugstore for 99 cents. Toto - Hold the Line. Hot Chocolate - Everyone's a Winner ( with that cool guitar lick ) Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street, Rubberband Man - The Spinners, Everytime I Think of You - The Baby's. Crazy Love - Poco, My Sharona - The Knack, Heart of Glass- Blondie, just to name a few. The Evel Kneivel that you wound up, hit the button, and off he would go....hopefully over the ramp. Stretch Armstrong. Saturday mornings...Grape Ape, Speed Buggy, Laff-a-lympics, Land of the Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Land of the Lost. Loved that show! Cartoons for me revolved heavily around The Justice League, Herculoids, Space Ghost, Tom & Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanford and Son, All in the Family & Good Times. Music wise, Stevie Wonder, Sylvester, Two Tons of Fun, Convoy and Disco Duck. Yeah Baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 [/color]Every 12 year old boy in the 70s pretended to be this guy at least once while riding a bike over a hand-made ramp ... I can blame his influence for a bunch of destroyed bikes and scars,on the plus side I learned to repair them LOL these bring back memories I enjoyed the hell out of the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sisko Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Whoever mentioned the show Cliffhanger is automatically kewl. That show was great. Desert boots, afros, and those poly t-shirts with pics of dirtbikers, racers, etc. were all da bomb. Sadly my Grandmother wasn't having any of that hippie stuff. :mad: Leo Sayer, Elton John, and the Doobie Bros. FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Now this was how to spend some of those Summer Friday nights. Midnight Special. zLgeTtYwQ7o Ol Pete there was a bit of a problem at first. As teenage guys,we had to hate him because all the girls thought he was cute,but at the same time,he had some great music on that album,so we could like him,(that and play him on while on a date and..... ). As for a "guilty pleasure. oCuQQcISZTM Hey. Xylophone solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You guys are all jerks for reminding me how old I am. I am shocked no one has mentioned Three's Company.

Bubble Screen Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Haven't read through the whole thread. But has anyone mentioned Jaws? Talk about your classic films. ---------- Post added August-8th-2011 at 01:45 AM ---------- You guys are all jerks for reminding me how old I am. I am shocked no one has mentioned Three's Company.
