1950s-Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile in 1954

Musicwise, it would be the 1960s. The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel are my favorite musical artists.

I can't really say for certain, but the media is trying the best it can do to make the Iraq war look like Vietnam... or are you referring to Civil Liberties or to drug use?


All of them actually.

Too bad our current space program stinks. 60's was just beginning it, but there was a lot more activity and interest. The only interesting things we're doing today are developing energy weapons and laser-induced hydrogen fusion, and that's not very publicized as the space program was.

My favourite year topic

If I was to go back in time I would have liked to have talked to two of my great-grandfathers. One died in 1911, and one died in 1955, when I was nine months old. The first was a veterinarian, and the latter was a carny in a circus. Both were of Irish descent and quite the characters.

The 80s rocked. 8-bit music still does.
I mean, Revenge of the Nerds was in 1984, Tron was in 1982, and the glowing shoes!! And Jazz Jackrabbit... ohh, man, culture reached its peak back then!

It's hard to choose a favorite, as each decade had its own appeal.

I was only alive for 1990, so I might as well pick that one.

1990s; I finally had a steady job, could travel around the world (well, Europe anyways), and hadn't made most of the mistakes I've made since..;)

i've never been obsessed with a decade, so i'll pick age 10-20-- the 90s.

I like how I remember the early '90s. Everything looked so cool, and it seemed a lot...brighter? Then around 1995-6 it started to turn all bleh. Then movies basically went to hell after The Phantom Menace and The Matrix in 1999.

I absolutely love culture from the '80s though. Lots of movies that became (cult) classics, early video games, and New Wave music were all awesome. I liked the way appliances and cars looked, too.

The 60's. When almost all my favorite Muscle cars came out, including the 67' Ford Mustang 2+2 GT.350 Fastback! <3

1970s without any question - wonderful time to grow up here in Australia. Mind you, if I could time travel to the 1920s I'd be there as fast as the machine could take me.

I picked the 1990s because it covers almost all of my childhood (I was born in '90). I don't usually get "obsessed" with decades, but lately I've been thinking about the '90s a lot more, to the point of obsession.

Everything seemed cooler back then...the technology, the music, the movies...but now it's like nothing's new. It's like that Barenaked Ladies song, "It's All Been Done Before." But maybe everyone's like that about their childhood.
