Whilst i voted for the 50's i also loved the 60's. Fabulous times. Except for the Cold war that is.

Default No time like the present

I was sitting in my living room today looking at my two incredibly beautiful daughters, my handsome son with his sizzling good looks, and my wife who seems to look better with age. I felt incredibly blessed. The current time or this decade is the best. No time like the present.

The 80's were probably the best. No wars. Living was easy. Technology was greatly improved, but didn't consume your life like today. No cell phones, which meant you weren't on call constantly between your family and your employer. You could actually get away and escape. Today, everything is on surveillance video or you're constantly being monitored by computers.

the twenties must have been great if you had the money to enjoy it.. not for the poor though.. the forties gave women a chance to get into the workforce and liberate them.. the fifites had great clothes, music and dance.. the sixties was the start of the pop groups and some great music, for me it went downhill after that time....

I loved the 70s. Hated the 80s - big hair, disco, heavy metal music - just yuck.

I think probably the 50s and 60s were the best overall, though. I was a child in the 60s so didn't see it from a grown up perspective, and I was too young in the late 50s to know anything about them. But based on family values, less crime, more carefree, I would say the 50s and 60s were good. Growing up like Beaver and Opie couldn't be a bad thing.

Loved the 70s because I was 13 to 23 during those years and life was good!

Favorite decade I experienced: 80s.

My favorite polled decade, based on historical study of cultural attitudes, values, & prosperity (etc): 50s. They had better cars too.

Default ok

I assume that I need not have lived through the decade that I choose!!!

I will choose the 1950's. The decade of Elizabeth Taylor. Her star had sunk by the time I became an earthling. Damn!
