I wasn't born until the 90s but when I think of the 70s from what I've seen I guess the first thing to pop in to my head...

Big collars, Elvis, Abba and disco music

We had something very similar to that, but it wasn't a wall paper though. It was some object or other, maybe a thermos? Whatever it was, I remember that pattern. I love a good nostalgic blast from the past, especially welcome after some sad days.

By the way, good to see you back, Lego Master!

...I just lost my second draft of this :cry: ...Well, anyway ...Does anyone else here remember a thing that rock/ pop music critics of the middle Seventies of the, say, Rolling Stone/Village Voice/Creem type would go on about. Those folks were always going on about " Who will the Big Thing of the Seventies be? The new Beatles/Elvis, leading forth/speaking to this generation as those dudes did." . " The next Bob Dyln ", too, and just general saying someone was " a ______ for the Seventies " or so.

Ugh-shag carpeting! That got really disgusting when the dog (or cat) peed, pooped or barfed on it.
