Re: Your Favorite Decade?

I agree... the 70s was an INCREDIBLY fruitful and eclectic decade. One theory I have about why is that people still listened to the radio then, and the radio hadn't really balkanized genres yet. I remember listening to Kasey Kasem's show and getting a bit of EVERYTHING within the space of an hour or two... rock, country, funk, novelty records... David Bowie back to back with Dolly Parton... no formula.
I remember when the seventies ended thinking 'Finally, the eighties!', but while a good decade too, in retrospect the music from that decade wasn't as warm and human and funky... even new wave and punk had pretty much blown their wad by the early eighties.
