Fond memories. In Britain, 78/79 was named The Winter of Discontent because of the strikes, the economy, inflation, unemployment, etc. - but at least there was still good music to lift the mood.

Please bring back those wonderful, carefree days when life was really good-- & SAFE. We didn't even have to lock our doors in those days & kids could play creely in the streets without parents worrying about their safety. Great music 🎶 ✔ 👍 Fantastic times ⚠

Totally agree. Perverts have always been around. I remember a couple of incidents happening with my childhood friends near our home with strange men exposing themselves, saying sexual things to us, etc. We lived in a quiet semi rural area near a woods and railway in North West England. These things happened and we never told our parents or teachers. It makes me angry looking back these horrid, vile men got away with it.

Started listening to mud became a huge fan then showaddywaddy then the rest of the 70's bands like Racey for example and I'm only 17. It's hard and pain full to listen to modern music since it's just not what I'm use to with stuff like rap music, drum and bass and these modern artists sware and talk about drugs guns etc. in my opinion the 70's was the best decade for music since a band could be found from no where (the Rubettes for example) and still have chart success
