I consider myself an 80's kid actually, that's mostly what i remember. I was born in 1972 though so I do have some memory of the unfortunate period in time called the 70's.

Seventy Two?? You're just a baby.

Don't you ever feel like you'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony?

I was in the UK myself so the 70's were probably not the same seventies as you had, but there were bell bottoms, decimalization (and all the old people complaining about the new funny money with the hundred pence in a pound and what was wrong with the old way anyay? And metrification which never really fully caught on except Celsius.

The Beatles broke up, then came Wings.

Jesus Christ
Superstar
Walks like a woman
and he wears a bra.

The first two lines were direct from the musical, the next two was how it always used to finish up in my school.

Rainbow (and zippy but I guess that's still around as punky used zippy in an av).

Dr. Who. My first Dr was Jon Pertwee.

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy on the radio.

Silver Jubilee street parties.

Voyager I and II.

Lot's of good stuff.
