The debate continues. In a poll conducted for ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, the '70s bested the '80s, but not across the board. In data not shown here, the majority of 18- to 34-year-olds we asked actually preferred '80s movies and TV. But even they thought '70s fashions were funkier, and that the decade itself meant happier days. Somewhere, Richard Nixon is smiling.
