The eighties were a dreadful time for music. All those soulless first-generation digital synths.

I have recently fallen in love with this lot:

Their videos are a bit odd, though. Watch it with your eyes shut, if you want. Or don't. You might like it, for all I know.

And I've just seen this.

It's in extremely poor taste, with considerable swearing, but my word, it is funny.

Musically, the eighties started in 1976.

Unfortunately this means the 70s were rather short. Come back Emerson, Lake & Palmer - all is forgiven.

BTW. should 70s be plural, possessive (70's) or both (70s')?

Seventies.

So, in the year -4?

but let's not go there again ...

With * 70's *; the apostrophe is simply a contraction ... if no possession is implied. Plurals require no apostrophes; or, for those with anti-NSR switched on, plural's don't require apostrophe's.

Well you are right 1976 should be though of as -4 in relation to the 1980s but if, as some would tell us, the calendar starts in 1 AD then the 1980s started in 1981 and 1976 would have to be -5.

When referring to the 70s are we referring just to the years that comprise the decade? In this case it would be 70s (70's is accepable, as you say, being an allowable contraction rather than a possessive).

... or are we refering to things that belong to those years?. I think the answer is yes, so really it should be 70s'.

I particularly like the L'istesso tempo from about 9:00.

Scarborough Fair, with the added advantage of having Amy Nuttall rather than some bloke with a silly perm singing it.
