Good lord, Os. Did you do a search for the most god-awful crap produced during those two decades? If so, you succeeded!
Okay but were the 1920’s as great as the history books say? How do you compare the 1920’s to the 1960’s or 1870’s after the Civil War ended? Was Lincoln really as big a knob as some said?
I should start reeling off what you are obviously ignoring just to drive me bonkers. You know, artists like the Kinks, Deep Purple, The Who, Creedence, Pink Floyd, the Pretenders, Queen, the Stones, Elton, the Police, Jethro Tull, Santana, the Cars, Bowie, the Talking Heads, Warren Zevon, the Allman Brothers, the Dead, Todd Rundgren, Bob Seger, ELO, Neil Young, Supertramp, Steve Miller, Clapton, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, Mott the Hoople, Joni Mitchell, Tom Petty, Harry Nilsson, etc., etc., but I'm not gonna do it. I'm too high off the Rockets and their series win tonight. Time to relax, to enjoy living! I'm just a cat tripping on a groovy, glorious victory. Next stop? The Western Conference Finals!
For alot of Minorities "The Good Times" only started in the 70s. The 80s were when the ability to be IN and OUT and still be ok was coming forth True Cultural integration was cementing itself in the America Psyche Hard to think anything before the 60s as the best anything in America Rocket River
Has there ever been a bigger change in fashion between adjoining decades as there was between the 70's and 80's?
September 1981, still part of the glorious incredible 70s. Let's make this the Rockets' theme song for the Western Conference Finals, shall we?
I'll pretend I didn't see the latest assault on my sanity by Os (I attempted to call 911 last night in desperation, but the lines were clogged by flipped out Jazz fans that came to Houston to see the Jazz "win" and had a collective mental breakdown when they didn't), while I'll add a blunder on my part, leaving out the most obvious thing I liked about the 1980's. NBA basketball. The '80's through most of the '90's were one of the great eras for the league and never to be forgotten. The broadcasts of the games were superior to today's. Heck, so was the intro music. Add Hakeem striding across the NBA landscape, modestly downplaying his greatness, and you have an '80's outlier. A superior NBA.
FWIW the "best decade" is very much an individual thing. I personally believe the 90's were the best decade. 1993-1997 in particular. However I always believed the 1960's had to be an exciting decade; especially in California. The 1950's struck me as likely a great decade if you were a white male in your 30's. Post war with lots of jobs, absolute control of your household, exciting technological breakthroughs happening, Eisenhower... etc.
