That 70's thread

[The Teflon Dean]

The last great decade before Western civilisation went in to cultural freefall.

Anyone wishing to post music, film, ideas, fashion comedy or anything 70's is invited to do so here.

In the beginning there was the Aztecs:

I'd be interested for any of the resident muso types to have a stab at the amp set up Thorpy is using with that Les Paul. It makes a brilliant noise.

Yes. The '70s. A tad before my time but still the greatest decade in the history of the world.

Except for disco.

Though, I have a theory that if there wasn't disco, there wouldn't be rap.

So, boo, you disco you.

Disco and Punk mate.

So many ideas flying about. What happened to all that creativity?

The '70's WERE BRILLIANT!!!! for those of us old enough to have been there

For starters 1975 & 1977 WERE VERY GOOD YEARS. I was there in '75 but in London in '77 but still great.

Highlights of Primary School...

Popstick racers when it rained, our school was on a slant and the drains were open.

All thinkin we could top Jezza, Peter Knights and Phil Baker takin screamers kick to kick before class and lunchtimes.

Dooges/Marbles. Won and lost plenty.

Tryin to eat apples floating in big buckets of water with your hands tied behind your back on raffle day.

Athletics carnival.

Free milk and Tetra packs of choc milk at recess.

Tryin to talk your way out of gettin the cane but failing cos the headmaster was seriously sadistic. The girls talkin their way out of gettin the slipper from the headmistress by crying and laughing about it later.

If you remember the 70's you were'nt there man !!! Life's a gas

 

[mark73]

Isn't that the 60's?

Seems to change with every new decade we enter.

Electric.

Interesting statistic: Jimmy Page played session guitar on 65% of all British number one recordings between 1965 and 1970.

Amazing.

Bring back the mutton chop side burns I say.

When I think of mutton chops, I think of Mungo Jerry:

Ahh the good old days when I was but a wee lad.

Skateboarding

My first board was made out of wood. Very limited handling capacities that one. No doubt some Sk8ter Boi would probably give me a squillion for it now.

Yoyo's
Trading in coke and fanta bottles for 20cents at the milk bar
Scanlons footy cards with the crap chewy in 'em
Hubba Bubba

Sunny Boys, Razz's & Glugs, all of which have made a recent "retro" comeback.

If you were lucky you'd win a free one inside the wapper.

Sunday roasts
Pie nights at training
Getting the strap at school (not really a highlight though)

I got the cuts 42 times in grade 5.

The choice of footwear for seventies street urchins.

I'd still be wearing a pair today if I could find them
