This page features links to websites that are (in my opinion) well thought-out, excellently designed and incredibly thorough. Though the subject can be esoteric or general, it MUST be related to the 1970s (but topics that continue from the 1960s and into the 1980s are OK). If you know of a web page that may merit inclusion here, email me and I will be happy to check it out.
White Riot - If you thought the 70s were really boring until a bunch of British punks started making really loud noise, then this is the site for you. Click here for a site devoted to late-70s punk rock.
Coke Adds Life - Think about memorable television commercials of the 1970s, and a Coca-Cola ad with people on a hill singing "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" should spring quickly to mind. Click here for a website devoted to Coca-Cola's long history of television commercials, including Hilltop and Mean Joe Greene.
PONG - Before Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, XBox and all that followed, there was PONG. For those who do not remember, or for those who want to remember just how primitive our video games used to be, Click here.
Quad Systems - This is hardcore 1970s stuff. If you never tried to set up a quadrophonic system, you haven't lived (Also, you haven't cursed out the speaker placement, gotten fed up with compatibility issues, and went back to "regular" hi-fi stereo like I did). Click here and see what all the fuss was about.
For Radio Fans - If you missed the 1970s, you won't get a good feel of what the music was like by listening to many radio stations today. Yeah, I know Aerosmith, Kansas and similar bands get their due on "Classic Rock" stations. I am also aware that the Eagles, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac and Linda Ronstadt can still be found on "Adult Contemporary." However, even the stations with a 1970s format don't play many of the biggest hits of the decade. Click here for an explanation about why radio stations no longer play much 70s pop music.
