Economically, it was a bad decade. Inflation (leftover from 1960s Big Society/Vietnam spending), gas shortages/price spikes and labor unrest dominated the headlines and set the stage for the Reagan revolution/Wall Street decade to follow.

The 70s were a transformative decade. I think the impacts of that 10 year span have been largely lost in the economic malaise most people felt. It becomes easier to appreciate a lot of what happened in that decade as time goes by; the perceived bad times become softer, we become more nostalgic and younger generations who weren't born then look it with new eyes.

Music, at least on the Rock & Roll side, kind of fell into some perceived rut after the Beatles broke up, other acts from the 60s broke up or aged our of their formative teens/20s years and untimely deaths of some of the better known acts of the 60s. Taking that line seems, to me at least, to ignore a ton of new material that came out during that decade.
