Our ideas about the surface brightness distribution of galaxies has changed greatly since 1970. I contrast the view at that time with our present view of the subject, and then briefly discuss some topics in the studies of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBG) that I think are particularly interesting: the Tully-Fisher relation, LSBG as systems of high angular momentum, LSBG in clusters of galaxies, and the potential impact of the HIPASS survey.
