'''''Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box''''' is a seven-disc, 160-track box set with a 90-page booklet of cultural comment, a timeline for the decade, and liner notes. While covering much of the same ground as [[Rhino Entertainment|Rhino]]'s ''[[Have a Nice Day (VA compilation series)|Have a Nice Day]]'' series, it includes more [[R&B]], [[Funk music|funk]], [[Soul music|soul]] and [[Disco music|disco]] from the period. It also has several tracks from iconic artists of the era, making this set less of an obscure semi-hits collection than the iconic ''Have a Nice Day'' series.

The first copies of ''Have a Nice Decade'' released are covered with an iconic [[shag (fabric)|shag rug]] carpeting incorporating the iconic colors, textures and icons that have since become icons of the decade. Some of the tracks include [[sound clips]] of the decade, which follow a short silence at the end of the song (but which are still part of the track). The clip is a reference to the title of the ''next'' song in the running order. The clips are described below inline with the track it follows, with links to appropriate articles for the events described.

Two additional installments were made in this series, covering [[Like Omigod! The 80s Pop Culture Box (Totally)|the 1980s]] and [[Whatever: The '90s Pop & Culture Box|the 1990s]].
