This 7-disc set from Rhino basically offers the decade's greatest hits—however, since this is a "pop" box, don't look for much outside that genre. Occasional sound bites from the period are interesting once but may become annoying with repeated plays. If you're a child of the 70s or if you simply want a best-of intro, Have a Nice Decade should tickle our fancy. The book is an absolute plus. No text. Interesting and amusing 89-page book detailing both songs/artists and 70s culture. CDs are housed in a cleverly designed plastic flip system. Disc 1/24 tracks. 79:19. Disc 2/24 tracks. 79:19. Disc 3/24 tracks. 78:50. Disc 4/22 tracks. 79:28. Disc 5/22 tracks. 79:06. Disc 6/24 tracks. 79:27. Disc 7/20 tracks. 77:45.

At first glance, it's quite impressive that all these songs have been compiled into this collection. Just about every Top 40 hit, including all the dopey novelty songs ( i.e " Kung Foo Fighting ", etc... ), will have you revisiting your youth....up to a point. Then you become aware of what has been totally overlooked, such as EVERYTHING you listened to once you started listening to the F.M. side of the dial, and EVERYTHING you heard when you went punk or new wave. Even disco is under-represented. Was hard rock, punk, and new wave not 70's pop culture? There's not even a whiff of the biggest rock bands of the era - no Led Zeppelin, no Pink Floyd, no Who, no Stones, no Yes, etc..., no Sex Pistols, Clash, Blondie, Talking Heads, Police, or new wave pop, and even the worlds biggest pop band - Abba - is missing. The list of what's missing goes on and on. The booklet is well done, the packaging is fun, and the songs included are a blast, but as a balanced overview of the decade it falls far short - all pop and no punch.Read full review
It's about time! (really) I bought it to drive around town in my car. I found myself listening to it all the time. I'm now back in the seventies. For all- This is meant to be POP music. The absence of bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin is intended as those were classified as hard rock. Also missing, thankfully, is much of the disco tunes we were over-familiar with. What is left is a great example of what the seventies was really about. This is a Rhino product. Very well done and put together with care. Not just a quick compilation for a fast buck. The manufacturer's tried hard, and it shows. We also loved the book thats included. If your into it, Rhino has a 80s decade box as well, entitled "Like O My God" It's just as well done and another perfect example of what an "era" set should be.Read full review
Love all the music on these CDs. Case a CDs in very good condition with the exception of one CD that skips over one song. Thats the reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5.
