That 70's Post...

I would have liked to have been present in the 1970’s.. that’s’ soooo my decade…. The bell bottoms, the message of peace and brotherly (or sisterly love) , the sepia photographs, the paisley prints, the age of the flower children , psychedelia, the big hair ( ok maybe that was the 80’s..),the music.. you get the general drift….


I LOVE 70’s music.. I would go back in time just to listen to those songs in the top 40 and continuous rotation .From the wiki

The 1970s saw various forms of pop music dominating the charts. Often characterized as being shallow, 70s pop took many forms and could be seen as a reaction against the high-energy and activist pop of the previous decade..


. I’m watching the infomercial for Time Music’s 70’s Music Compilation. Here’s a list of 70’s songs I got off the internet …

Not just fashion and music, the 70s was the era of innovation and technology birth. Most of the hi tech gadgets that you see around was born in the 70s. Even autos, most successful models and the variants see their their birth in the 70s , and most auto companies today are trying to get the retro look of the 70s back. I think the main reason was the depression and oil crisis, when things were tough, everyone tried harder , got innovative and made things better. :-).
