From a design, and pop culture standpoint, the 1950's. Decades overlap, so throw in the early 60's for the Atomic homes, and designs. The 40's had some great cars, and clothing. Now I know why people collect things from those eras. Decades since just don't excite me, except for some of the technology, social, and medical advances. (and of course a few good films, and music).
Definitely the 1920's....flappers, speakeasy's, jazz, wild parties, loose morals, modernism, prosperity and we'd just fought the "war to end all wars".
The best decade is the one where you were in high school and college where life was more simple, everything was black & white and you could do stupid things because you were invincible. You could hang out for hours talking with your friends and it didn't really matter who was president.
1870's in Oklahoma and west Texas........land was free, buffalo was covering the plains, cattle could be had for nothing more than work, rugged individuals didn't do politically correct, whorehouses were legal, all the food was organic..........
Yes!
You could also add to your list, all waters were basically clean, the air was cleaner, and people were much more SOVEREIGN than any time since.
Even tho' I wasn't around, I voted for 1910 and before for the following reasons:
NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX! (enacted 1913)
and NO PRIVATE, FOR PROFIT CORPORATION CALLED "THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK" PRINTING WORTHLESS PAPER MONEY! (enacted 1913)
and we didn't have the U.N. trying to install a "New World Order" government over everyone.
America's enslavement really began in 1913, people just don't know it 'cause they don't know history, and they don't know what real FREEDOM is anymore.
