I never got to wear any of those..I led a sheltered life with a strict mother...I was a Beatles fan although my mother didn't approve she gave in and let me buy their records and decorate my bedroom walls with their pics....one a side note the first time I played Yummy Yummy Yummy by Ohio Express on my record player my mother came in and took the 45 away.... :shrug:

Well, I had a strict mother as well.  I wasn't allowed to wear blue jeans to school. That's where the maxi coat that I had came in handy.  I'd roll up my jeans under my coat and put heels on and then take heels off on the bus and put on my moccasins that I hid in my purse. All was fine until the little goody two shoes neighbor that lived next store told on me.  Ugh ... just thinking about her.

By the next year I think she gave up on that idea but I had to pay for the jeans myself.  No problem.  I babysat and saved money.  Jeans were only $5.00 a pair at the local headshop.

I couldn't even do that...Catholic schools with boxy uniforms with blazers... *****rollingeyes*****

I recall wearing; bell bottom jeans, hip huggers, mini and maxi skirts, platform shoes, moccasins, suede leather jackets with fringe, blue jean or corduroy jackets and blazers and large hooped earrings.   Pretty much a cross between Janis Joplin and Twiggy.

Well as far as 70's fashion goes, I was a fan of halter tops myself.  :smokin:

They were well named because if the girl had the goods to wear them it'd pretty much halt any red blooded American male in his tracks.

Add: I think they were officially called tube tops, but we called them halter tops here.

By the time I was in high school we had moved again and I then went to a public school.

At the public school I went to halter tops and tube tops were not allowed. I lived up north and it was too cold out anyways till the summer months. My summer attire was mostly a bikini top or halter top and cut-off blue jean shorts.

Halter tops were more like wearing a scarf or bandana that tied at the neck and then either tied at the back at the mid waist or to the waist and tube tops didn't have ties.

I remember all of them too.  But IMO only 12 of them are what I woould call "rock"

@catfish1957

Those are likely my least favorite. Of the songs on this list, I have several 45s and one album (Nilsson). My preferences from this list were the wildly disrespected disco songs. Bill Withers (both songs), Staple Singers, Al Green, even Joe Tex. These songs were on the chart when I was hitting the private clubs in Houston. Dancing was such a happy place for me.

As someone else said, there weren't enough country songs on the list, but that's another place you could find me -- at the dance halls.

I'm guessing I wouldn't have run into you in either of those places?  333cleo (I never danced like an Egyptian, but it's the only dancing icon I could find. Work with me.)

MTA is a GREAT song! My favorite is probably "The Escape of Old John Webb"

My dad would get in his beers and have my sis and me sing those old songs... A lot of good memories there.

Hey!  I was just contemplating if I’ll ever do another Best of the Decade survey ever again….

I used to do this periodically over the years at TOS.  Increasingly unwelcome, I don’t even know if I feel like setting it up again.  Lots of work on FR (user-unfriendly posting) besides the new survey method.

You all seem to talk music a lot.  It’s fun if I can gather even 40 people to vote on music surveys.  Not sure I could do it here if not active enough.

If anyone is interested my next would be the ‘60s.  Last on FR was ‘50s.  I like to go in order and even it out per what I did in past.

No, I’m not quite in the “old” zone yet.  Just always loved so much music!

I'd get a little too involved in the analysis.  I'd watch though.

Let's irk a few, shall we? Even if they can't bring themselves to dance to them (a phenomenon which I will neverunderstand), you and I can get down and get funky. Good way to start the day.
