What's your favourite Decade?

Same as Dave, but to me the Fifties were great, we were naive, didn't have too much information, Rock and Roll started, didn't have to lock your car, house, a handshake made a deal.

The fifties were great for a child. The seventies were fun as a young adult. The sixties were a mixed bag. I mostly had a good sixties, but a lot of my friends didn't. The eighties and nineties were very difficult financially. Since 2k it's just been interesting. The main thing I miss is the news reporters of the 50's and 60's. But ever since Nixon, I hate all news.

The 70's for me. Coming of age for me and all the great rock bands were in full swing. I was a young man with the world ahead of me. Got to spend two summers hiking on the Appalachian Trail and one summer in Wyoming working for the Forest Service. Had a great dog and a pretty girlfriend and a Volkswagen van. Life was very vibrant and promising then.

JFK was pres when I was born. It's been a wild ride. Freshly retired, relocated to the last shack and hoping the 20s are going to the best.

It's hard to pick just one really. I've only seen 3 1/2 of them.

It's a toss up between the 00s and the 10's. 2 of my children were born in the 00s and they are my whole world. But in the 10s I hit my lowest of lows and I'm bouncing back now with a vengeance. I've chose a sober life, improved relationships with my dad, children, and even my ex. Things are looking positive for the first time in 15 years and I'm finally putting my life back together and getting it in order.

I guess if I had to pick just one. I'd go with the 10's. It's still going on and I see better things coming for me and my kids before it ends.

If I could pick a decade that I didnt live in. I'd go with 50s. Since I was little there was something about that era that I was fascinated with.

Good topic, as always, Legendlover.

In the Sixties I got married,Got a good job.Bought a new Impala Super Sport.And my son was born.As I look back it was a pretty good decade for me.

Lol

60s.  First love, first marriage, first child, no health problems. Gasoline, milk, beer, cokes, groceries, rent...everything in life was affordable. We even survived the VietNam War. (Unfortunately many did not and those who came home never got the respect they deserved).  We still saluted the American flag, religion was a real part of our life. Children respected parents even if you didnt agre with them sometimes.  Respect was still a fabric of our life.   Radio was still magic and I enjoyed a wonderful career. Communicating with the listener...live, local.  We actually cued records back then and read copy live. We even took requests and the news was local...real news not opinion. Life was so much easier or maybe we were just naive back then. Your word was your bond, honesty still had a place in society.  And the music of the 60 was real.  Had meaning.  And artists still had talent. In the pipe.... Sir Walter Raleigh, Capt Black, and of course Flying Dutchman. Discovered the best pipes of my life....Edwards Algerian Briar. Unfortunately in life there is no rewind and no replay. 

That's another question. Given my cellar, pipe collection and things I've learned from others about the hobby over the years, the 20s will definitely be the golden years. 

70s, too young to remember. Star wars was great.

80s, spent my time as a weird kid, and the things that go along with that.

First half of 90s were great. Sowed my oats. Did a lot of recreational "things". Things were halcyon! Second half, did too many recreational "things", life went in the shitter for a little while.

First half of 00s, got my shite together, got first real job, got married, bought first house. Things were halcyon! Second half, did too many "recreational things", life went in the shitter for a while.

10s, learned my lesson, got my shite together, got a GREAT perfect-for-me job, had kids, came down with a horrendous anxiety disorder, mostly related to when life was in the shitter, managing that in the proper way. No more "recreational things", including drink. Bought my second "forever" house, things are halycon.

So, I think the 10s have been the best for me so far, anxiety not withstanding.

Music wise, late 80s and 90s. But lately I do enjoy me a lot of random 60s, 70s, 80s, and will always be happy with some Steely Dan (which doesn't really fit my normal sensibilities, but yet it does).

Don't let Oscar Wilde taint the entire decade for you. 

Though it was 10 years before me I'd have to say the 40's.

Can't pick any single one because they were all good or bad for different reasons.
1950's - growing up in the San Fernando Valley - still a lot of orange orchards, the smell of orange blossoms in the spring, milk delivered to your door as well as seltzer and soda syrups, Helms Bakery trucks, meeting The Three Stooges.  Lots of trips with my family. 4th of 4 boys and generally the 4th to wear the same pair of jeans.
1960s' - The world expanding and then exploding.  Tell Art Linkletter on Art Linkletter's House Party that if I were President I would solve the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brings down the house and leaves Art staring at this 10 year old kid (me) speechless.
1970's - College and SEX!  Backpacked across Western Europe.  Got married and then unmarried.  Started my career in the arts! Got my first movie jobs.
1980's - Career continued.  Had shows.  Won awards.  Traveled around the country.
1990's - Got married again, one and only son born, busy with movie work, bought a house, co-founded a new division at Warner Brothers - a digital visual effects studio.  Three years later the division got shut down in an effort to make Warners appear to be running a leaner machine for the idiots who run Wall Street and to hide huge losses in other parts of the studio.  US VFX job market starts to come apart at the seams, never to recover.  The race to the bottom begins and nearly wipes out the VFX industry in California.
2000's - Separation and divorce, the house goes for the care and feeding of various lawyers.  Rebuild and reinvention, leave VFX and begin a new career in animation, starting at the bottom and working my way back up.  Many trials and tribulations, especially with parenting, which prove the adage that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  The 2007 financial collapse wipes out a lot of my so called "conservative" investment portfolio.  Thank you Wall Street and Washington, you worthless scumbags.  I ride out the collapse until back at par, then pull out of the market and into real estate, which works out great.
2010's - New career gains steam and real estate investments build back what I lost several times over.  Better relationship with my son.  Wife 2.0 and I become friends again.  Parents pass.  Wife 1.0 re-enters and we've been together (bi-city relationship) ever since.  Health issues and new realities.  New perspectives.  Hopefully, retirement next year.

Good, bad, otherwise, I've learned much along the way. While I can be nostalgic and like "retro" things, never been one to long for the past and wouldn't relive my life for anything - it's what made me who I am. And, I believe we're all put in the timeline we're supposed to be in. It's sad to me to think of people feeling the best is behind them and who are only waiting for the end. What depression that would be - thinking you peaked as an 18 year old quarter back.

So, I say now, and in a few years I'll say the same thing. As I age, I become more of who God wants me to be, I believe, even if the world gets crazier. Then again, I've been accused of finally growing into my age and being an "old soul," whatever that means, so maybe I'm biased.
