For those of you who complain about there being nothing before the 20th century, I'd be hard pressed to find someone from before 1930 who posts here.

80's.

 

Best cartoons ever. Awesomely bad music. It had everythang.

 

And let's not forget it's the decade of CHOCAIN-YAH!

 

 

"You got tha' yayo? You got tha' stufff?"

1920's, ain't nothing but a bunch of partying, bootleg alcohol, sitting on the top of poles, and having lotsa money.

The 60's.

 

Human Rights came a long way, and the technology revolution really started to take off with man landing on the moon.

The 40's, it paved the way for the rest of the century and beyond.

You forgot the part where millions of people died in war, the biggest threat to human existence was invented, and it paved the way for the Cold War which left the world on the brink of destruction for decades. The 1940's were a decade full of some of the greatest Americans ever, but it was certainally not a real great decade IMO.

90s, I grew up in it. Stock Market flurished, internet invented and perfected. Cable TV perfected, Cold War ended. Only problem was the Gulf War which wasnt all that significant, expansion age in sports...whats not to like? Cell Phones more prominent.

The 1950's: The promise of the 1940's was completed and the promise of the 1960's created.

The 1960's, it started an age of liberalism and the Kennedy administration started a long era of the Democrats controlling the Senate. Also, I won 3 Purple Hearts.

1940's.

 

It's not called the Greatest Generation for nothing.

I am so ashamed to see the 90's in the lead.

I chose 1910-1919. World War 1- set in motion events that happened the rest of the century- politically, artistically and economically.

1970's, what a decade for rock and roll.

Generation as in the people, not the age. The age was full of war, controversy and uncertainty.

those dog leashes that didnt have a dog on the end, but looked like they did

Shoulder pads on shirts

Crazy big hair

That pretty much sums it up right there.

Cold War was over

Terrorism wasn't a huge issue

Good fashion

Good sports

Sounds like the 2000's so-far.

I chose 1910-1919. World War 1- set in motion events that happened the rest of the century- politically, artistically and economically.

 

essentially, World War 2.The war of 1870 had as much to do with WW2 as WW1 did

aw the memories.......the 80's no doubt was the best decade......

I'm tempted to say 60's because of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but I'll say 20's because that's how far back you have to go to really live in an untainted world (i.e. rivers are not polluted etc.) My grandfather would tell me about how they would catch fresh water shrimp in certain rivers that if you fish in them now you'll catch a coke bottle and a turd if you're lucky.

A decade in which a Democrat was president for only 385 days is by-far the best for me.

 

So I go with the 80's.

 

(Can't forget the enormous defense spending budgets.)
