What's your favourite Decade?

You will enjoy the Briggs at that age, for sure. 

I was going to use the Dickens Excuse, but someone got to it. Each decade has had the highs and lows. An old business associate said in 1980 that he hated decade years, 1970, 80, etc. He said they all sucked. I somewhat agree. Of recent decades I injured my neck in 2000, broke my leg in 2010 and spent two months in rehab. So, the decade curse continues.
I was born in 1957 and can remember a few events from 1959 and all of the sixties. I remember when McArthur died, the 1960 Presidential Debates, when Pres Hoover died. I loved Disco, damn me, in the Seventies and loved the eclectic rock, punk, pop, new wave of the Eighties. Music has sucked wind since then. I sucked 2 quarts of Whiskey a day in the 90's, a feat I was told was impossible. It's not. So I can't say anything other than ever moment I am alive is my favorite moment, as someone else here alluded to. If I wake up three times overnight I say three prayers of thanks for waking up... and that Xuan and Bully the Lionhearted are okay.
As usual, I can never simply answer a question

Some of you have had interesting decades. I often look back with rose-tinted glasses, but it's good to look forward too.

I'm excited to see what the next few decades bring (if I live to see them).

Okay, my original thread was only based on my tobacco experience, but now after reading all the threads within I can break down the best years of my life.

I still remember these years fondly and to this day brings tears to my eyes when I sit back and contemplate our time together. The years from 1975 to March of 1980, those were the years I met the love of my life, my “ soulmate “. She was beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside, a warm, caring, compassionate person. She always put others first and expected nothing in return, I called her “ one in a billion “, that always put a smile on her face. During that time period when we were both working was the only time we spent separated from each other, our families often said “ your like two magnets, bonded together as one “! She fulfilled my life and I hers, we were both truly Blessed by God during our short time together. Late December of ‘79 she was diagnosed with colon cancer and I lost her March of ‘80. My life has never been the same, part of me died that day as well, for she was the “ only love of my life “, I never fell in love again! Our song together was by Joe Cocker....” You Are So Beautiful To Me “ , and to this day I can not listen to the song without her by my side. For if we meet again one day we will hear the song together for all eternity. Rest In Peace my baby, without you my heart and soul is empty.

That was a truly moving post, @lonecoyote. I can't imagine what you went through.

But I'm glad you considered us worthy enough to share it.

Culturally speaking, it has always seemed to me that half-decades are more alike than whole ones. I mean 1965-75 were more similar than 1960-70. Early 60s still more like the 50s, early 70s more like the 60s if you see what I mean. I'm still trying to figure what's different about the 2000s and 2010s, though.

Is that your wife or his wife?

hang in there, @cosmicbobo, hang in there.

I will tip my top hat in gratitude.

Never had Angel Flight’s, never had a Member’s Only Jacket.

Wow that's good one, I love a good counter quote but all I can think of is Van Morrison's
"I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
I know it's not the jist of the thread but I have been trying to get away from artificial time restraints like decades.
Compare and contrast is a good opening drink but ya dont want to finish off a whole bottle.

The 90s and 00s were my favorite decades. I got married, had kids, and a great career.

I dunno. Wouldn't recognize him without his shaved head and a few burn marks on his face
