Just answer the question. Thats right.

1900s. Art Nouveau, the visual feast...beautiful design, and the era before the end of all innocence (ie: before World War)

The 60's and 70's... Woodstock, Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, a chance to change the world, Heavy Metal...

80's - Thatcher and Reagan

50s...Lightnings, Bucaneers and Vulcans :)

The 60's. :D

And 70's. I could deal with 1965-1975. Failing that, 1975-1985. For the music, of course. :D

80s. I only got to experience a few months of them.

I wouldn't mind the 70s either.

The 1940's this was WW2 and the beginning of the Cold War. The world was an interesting Place in the 40's

If I could be a top official in the Nazi party, I'd go with the 1940s. I just want to kick Hitler in the sack.

Granted, but you are a Polish Jew.

Oh wait, it isn't that "make a wish" game. Damn.

Hmmm. . . TO DRUG OR NOT TO DRUG, that is the question.

The 60's or 70's because almost everyone then believed at least in a mixed economy instead of the neoliberal madness of today. There was also a strong socialist state to balance out the power of the USA and to provide help and aid to the third world which was not merely aimed at increasing the wealth of multi-national corporations.

As it happened, I lived in four different decades of the 20th century. The 1990s treated me the best by far.

I wouldn't want to live any time before the 1940s. No penicillin. Doctors were mostly helpless against infectious diseases.

The 40s? WWII. Enough said.

The 50s? Not too bad, actually, if you ignore McCarthyism and the fact that polio hadn't quite been conquered yet.

The 60s? I was born there. (Then?) ;) Peace and love in theory, Viet Nam and the '68 Democratic Convention in reality. Enough said.

The 70s? A bad hangover from the 60s.

The 80s? I hated the 80s.

The 1990s were pretty good for me. I rode the internet boom up and did quite well for myself. (Then in 2001-2002, I rode it all the way back down. :headbang: )

Not sure that I'd like staying stuck in a single decade forever, though.

:p

Well, I'd have to say the '90s, (yes, I did live through them) but I'd like to have been more a few years earlier, to have been listening to early '90s music when it was actually happening.

Or the '20s, I could withdraw all my assets and turn them into gold before the crash.

Yeah, i'll second that too. I was about 10 years too late.

The 1970's. It had the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, man.

If not that, then I'd have to choose the 1980's.

The 1990s. With my current knowledge of the stock market. :D
