    Can't beleive no one has brought up every 12 yr old in 1976's mancrush evil Knievel. I can't really claim the decade as i was 5-15; but damn do i remember

    -schwinn stingrays,
    -steel lunchboxes (as an 8 yr old i had a hotwheels one it was THE shit)
    -then in 4th grade some of the neighborhood kids got YZ-80s, Honda grouchos, etc. and the world suddenly got a lot bigger. my parents were dead-set against anything with a motor which sucked. so i got...
    -Yamaha moto-bikes,
    -skateboards, (IMO Powerflex was the best; the logan dura-lites were damn good. then shit went underground in a hurry)
    -just how fuckin hudge The Grand Illusion was where I was, as was saturday night fever :-\
    -Kiss, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent
    -Calling my parents drunk from the police station just before my 15th birthday. I was in boarding/reform school in short order, and the decade was over.

    Evil Knievel was on our radar earlier than 76, but on that note Bicentennial shit everywhere about everything in 76.

    Here's what I was rolling 74-77. Well, one like it. Mine was totally trashed by the time I sold it to a neighbor. Got this in my shed for laughs..

    I had the yellow, pulled off the ghey (NTTAWWI) rear fender, crossbar pad, nameplate that was mounted below the frame-x-bar, and replaced that seat with the one off my brother's 10 speed (you go off to college, you lose). Mine was also a little bit later (either 75 or 76) had the "normal" crankshaft vs. those that ripped the inside of your ankle apart.

    Mine was a 74 with that bomber solo seat.

    My friends dad was a kick ass pipe fitter/welder. He fixed all our bikes when they broke, most broke at the head and down tube joint.. We also added angle iron to the rear shock frame struts and drilled additional shock mounting points to lay down the rear shocks more.. reducing the energy loss from peddling. Made the rear suspension stiffer..

    Edit re cranksets. The euro 3 piece on the 74 and 75 cotter pins bent and broke.. The one piece American cranks bent. Pick your poison..

    I mean, I get it if some people prefer Cyndi Lauper over the Stones or Hendrix, I'd just disagree.
    Cyndi Lauper? Uhhhhhh, no! Van Halen or UFO? Hell yes!

    Granted Eddie VH was an awesome and inventive guitarist. So was Allan Holdsworth. Relatively speaking, Hendrix was more significant by far.
    UFO? That's a 70s band.

    I don't think any of the following 70s bands need any introduction:
    Led Zep
    Rolling Stones
    Grateful Dead
    ZZ Top
    Aerosmith
    AC/DC
    Deep Purple
    Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Journey
    Allman Brothers
    Queen
    Blondie
    Eagles
    Crosby, Stills Nash and Young
    Styx
    Foreigner
    Rush
    Electric Light Orchestra
    Grand Funk Railroad
    King Crimson
    Emerson, Lake and Palmer
    Judas Priest
    Cheap Trick
    Pink Floyd
    Black Sabbath
    Zappa
    The Who
    Bowie
    Stevie Wonder
    Fleetwood Mack
    The Stooges
    The Ramones
    The Clash
    Parliament/Funkadelic
    Madonna
    Sly and the Family Stone
    Bob Marley and the Wailers
    Creedence Clearwater Revival
    Elton John
    The Kinks
    Steely Dan
    Talking Heads
    U2
    The Police
    Roxy Music/Eno
    Jethro Tull
    Kiss
    Yes

    need I go on?

    Sorry kids, but the 70s r00led rock.

    You were talking about "prefer", and I definitely prefer VH & UFO.
    The Stones & Hendrix were far more "significant", I'd never think to argue otherwise.

    I agree with you!
    Van Halen 1 came out in 1978.
    UFO's Strangers In The Night has been called the greatest live album ever recorded. Compiled from their tour of the midwest in Oct 1978, it was released in 79.
    Michael Schenker was THE guitarist in the late 70s before EVH came on the scene. After reportedly turning down an audition with the Stones in 73 (Ron Wood got the gig), after leaving UFO he was asked to join Aerosmith as Joe Perry's replacement in 79, Lemmy asked him to join as he was forming Motorhead, and he was Ozzy's first choice after Randy Rhoads died.
    He was hugely influential to a whole generation of 80 & 90s players. In addition to usual suspects like Kirk Hammett & George Lynch, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready has played in a UFO tribute band called Flight To Mars for years.

    As big a music fan as you obviously are Buster, how could you not have heard of UFO?

    I asked him if he knew what time he had
    He said he wasn't sure, maybe a quarter past

    The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

    I peered in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look
    But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book

    The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

    It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
    It won't work for you...

    Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history
    Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real today

    The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

    Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh
    Garbage vendors against true defenders of the craft

    I had one of those. Rode the damn thing off of a retaining wall and had to get some stitches. Probably in 79, so I guess I qualify for this thread too.

    I was just born when Iceman went to college in jeans.
    I guess I really enjoy the stoney as people are saying they don’t smoke a full joint by themselves anymore.
    Apparently I’ve eaten some really good acid in my life.
    Music from this decade was by far the best to ever grace our eardrums. Period.

    6 pages in and no mention of Star Wars? Granted it was 1977 but it definitely ruled my world. Saw it at the theater and was Princess Leia for at least three halloweens in a row afterwards. It was also the beginning of my years-long crush on Harrison Ford. Wish I still had the lego set.

    Cheech and Chong. Up in Smoke ruled my world. Probably not the best movie for an 8 yo.

    Plenty of good movies Dog Day Afternoon, American Graffiti, The Shining, One Flew Over the Coo Coo's Nest, Jaws, The Deer Hunter, Everything Dirty Harry, Breaking Away. Everything Stanley Kubrick, etc..

    Star Wars was kinda a kiddie movie but I was still young enough to really dig it. I still collect Star Wars stuff..

    Totally. Did it really take this long for somebody to mention this one? Also loved the records when I was a kid. Dave's not here, man.
