Was the 70s the worst decade for music in pop culture history?

Yes.

It was a global epidemic, too.

The 70's were very good, in fact I think it's been the best decade of my life outside of the 60s (take the Beetles out and forget it).

How about Adelle? Everything. Pull the trigger already [expletive] and shut up.

You got to be kidding me.

Eagles
Fleetwood Mac
Pink Floyd
Led Zepplin (although they were tired by the end of the decade)
Grateful Dead
Neil Young

Later in the decade you had:
Dire Straights
U2
The Pretenders
The Ramones
The Clash

I could go on.

Sure, there was a lot of cheese (and disco!). But there was a hell of a lot of good music through most of the decade too.

Agree 100%.

If we are going to go with crappy decades, I think the 80's take it. How about all that European techno-garbage crap? Loof ballons. [expletive] you.

Or this gem ..

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

West End Girls!

Go back to Prague or wherever you are from.

jim has a point. Sebastian Cabot reciting Bob Dylan, for instance, is from 1967.
