The ’70s were a wild time for popular music. This eventful 10-year span saw the proliferation of disco, funk, punk, hard rock, and mellow singer-songwriter fare. All of these sounds were thriving by the decade’s midpoint, 1975, as evidenced by the diverse list of classic albums turning 50 in 2025.

I so wish I could have been college age in the early to mid seventies. Good music, good movies, good tv shows, cool cars, braless chicks.

Ah, the good old days, when water was clean and sex was dirty. :cry:
It was all that and more. Casual sex with fewer consequences, girls hitchhiking, lots of horny girls and guys. The sexual revolution.
 
Reminds me of a flight I took in the mid 70’s. It wasn’t PanAm, it was an Air France charter from NYC to Club Med in Martinique. The flight down was uneventful, no one knew each other. But the flight back was wild! At Club Med people met each other or had a fling, whatever. On the flight back, some girls wore bikinis, people were smoking grass (regular smoking was still allowed, but it was even more lax because it was a charter), and a pillow fight broke out.

That is a CRAZY amount of good records from 1975.
