Depends on what you're looking for. In the 70s for scifi there's Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock, for mecha Zambot 3 and Tekkaman, for adventure Future Boy Conan and Lupin III. Everyone should really watch Future Boy Conan, it's Miyazaki's only TV show. It's about a boy's adventure to save his friend from a technocratic despot in a post apocalypse water world. It's kind of like a prototype Laputa. The 70's is kind of easier to make suggestions for because there's not a ton of shows with subs but 80's shows have had a lot of love from subbers and licensers.
If I had to pick two 80's classics it'd be VOTOMS and Maison Ikkoku. Votoms is about a soldier named Chirico who is used as a fall man for an illegal mission and has to go on the run. Lots of robots, action and explosions. It's probably Ryosuke Takahashi best show. Maison Ikkoku on the other hand is a romantic comedy based on a manga from Rumiko Takahashi that she wrote at the same time as Urusei Yatsura. A little less wacky and probably started a lot of the miscommunication and misconception humor in romance anime and manga. It's basically about a young college student that falls for his recently widowed apartment building manager.
