Since I love the 70's show is starting next week on VH1, I thought it would be cool 2 start a thread dedicated strictly 2 the 70's.

What are you're most found memories from this groovy decade?
Was it the clothes, the music or the slang words

Unfortunately I wasn’t born around this time
So I didn’t have the opportunity 2 experience some of things many of u had

But I can could imagine how I would b while living in the 70’s
If u don’t mind I would like 2 show u a few things I probably would have in my vault
If I lived in the 70’s

A SPUNKY LIL FUNKY KID LIVIN’ IN HER OWN WORLD …….




Here goes...
Favorite Television show:

THE BRADY BUNCH


I always wondered what it was like 2 live in this house ...

nothing

...i'm an 80's baby

growing up in Germany, the 70's were all about...

I probably would've copped a pair of these

I'm all excited about the VH-1 "I Love the 70s" special that airs this week.I'm a 70s fanatic!

I remember small stuff like you could get a pack of Now and Laters, a little Hugs juice, a big pickle, or some Lik-A-Stix for like 25 or 50 cents each. My favorite cartoons back then were the Jackson 5, the Banana Splits, Speed Buggy, Johnny Quest, and Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch. I don't think anyone remembers most of them though aside from Johnny Quest.
I just remember it as being a real fun time. I didn't really listen to music back then. I think the only albums I had were a Star Wars album and the Silver Connection (Fly Robin Fly).

Some memories...



***I remember 8-track tapes,but I thought they were really odd.While listening to it,sometimes the music would stop in the middle of a song for a minute or so,then come back on.

***Does anyone else miss 45 singles? I used to take my allowance and buy several at the same time.The first 45 I ever bought was "Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb in 1978.Back then,45 singles weren't that much more than a dollar.And most albums could be bought for only $5.99.

***Everyone remembers the "Brady Bunch",but do you guys remember the cartoon version? On this show,the Brady kids all lived in a treehouse (!!) but their parents and Alice were nowhere to be found.At the end of every episode,they would sing a song such as "Ain't It Crazy?","We Can Make The World A Whole Lot Brighter" and "Time To Change".

***I remember in 1979,we were having some kind of gasoline shortage.So,you were only able to buy gas on certain days.

***Does anyone remember velvet posters? I had one in 1978,and it featured a purple light that was somehow attached to the top of it.

All in the family
American Bandstand
Fat Albert
Banana Splits
