10 Greatest Rock Songs of the ‘70s, Ranked

Whether fair or not, lots of decades tend to get associated with one or two kinds of music.

It’s just a pop culture thing, and not a suggestion that each decade should just be remembered for one or two kinds of music. But it does also work for shorthand in establishing a time in history, especially in movies or TV shows (as was effectively parodied in BoJack Horseman).
