This is incorrect.

Three reasons why you're wrong:
"Be Thankful For What You've Got"
Physical Graffiti
Outlaw country/Waylon and Willie
These trump all the crap music of the 1970s, with the exception of
"Afternoon Delight," the Bay City Rollers' gawd-awful cover of "I Only Wanna
Be With You," and the entire discography of Leif Garrett.
So, in short, you're wrong, so go back to singing "Me and Mrs. Jones" on
your home karaoke box.

So, if we go back in time to the middle of the period in question, you
were all of 9.
I think you should just limit your analysis to the statement: "The music
Time-Life chose to represent the '70s sucked".
I might even agree with you on that one.

Hey haven't you been listening? DO I NEED TO YELL?!!! Heh heh. Your
heyday is my heyday. I hate the Cure. Did in the day. Still do. The best
stuff in the 80's was the then not mainstream hardrock/heavy metal stuff
like Metallica before they got..you know..popular and stuff.
As for big hair bands...heh heh I liked culling clubs for big hair fanbabes
back in the day...now though...they take their kids to concerts and
um...yuk.
Also some of the best funklicious R&B ever came out in the 80's...most
notably the Minneapolis sound. Always have digged on that.
The 90's for me is a drunken blur until about 1996 when it became more
sensible persuits. I think I figured out that country music existed around
1999 or so. Have spent the last 3 years really familiarizing myself with
Young Country new stuff. I like.
Since I am never going to Hell I surmise that if I did probably everything
in Hell is rap.

Ya but if you agree with me...you are wrong because everyone knows I'm wrong

Plusteth your math is the suckage old fart. I was 9 for one year in the

That's what he said, Charles - in the middle of the time period in
question (~1975), you were all of 9.
And, you're wrong. The 70's ROOLED musically.

80's music ruleth almost as much as 70's music. About equal to 60s
music.

Are you going to nitpick me over the difference between "the middle of

You were still a babe in swaddling cloths then, whilst I was busy

Yes. When my wife and I hear the old '80s tunes, we look at each other
and smile, then say in unison "That was when we were ALIVE!"

dood.... depends on WHAT music you be talkin' about... 80's rap
sucked, but 80's dirge ruled... 70's prog rock sucked ass and so did
the country rock as it still does today... the 90's had a lot of
innovation, just lack of air play, whereas the 70's also had a bunch
of innovation, but it wasn't that great until disco finally died.
A LOT of 80's pop sucked ass through a coke straw, and so the same can
be said for Pop in general.

Marx released his second album in 1989 - when the ballads REALLY took
over. So, his Suckitude was, indeed, more of a 90s thing.
