70s vs 80s

  I suppose what the 'Seventies' diversity boiled down to was the 
relaxation
of previously fiercely held restrictions on, notably, Black musicians, and
also on Radio of course.
  It all seems very simple by today's standards, and the seeds of this
harvest were, admittedly, laid in the 'Sixties, but what the 'Seventies'
gave us for the first time was a  frank, honest ability to recognise just
where what we were listening to came from, and moving on from it
simaltaneously.

  Did it for me, anyway.
