SWTK: Your favourite decade and why?

[Smiffy]

So I was just trawling through the internet trying to find pictures of the kids TV show Strawberry Shortcake as you do and I gots wandering through the 90's. TV shows that I completely forgot about popped up Keenan and Kel, Saved by the Bell, Hey Arnold.

I then moved onto the fashion and music. No more need to be said about those catastrophes.

Anywho it got me thinking what is my favourite decade and why? I personally am a bit of a fan of the roaring 20s the music was mint, the clothes were outstanding and the hedonistic views of society were outrageous. I obviously didnt live in the '20s but it is definitely a time I would have loved to experienced.

What is your favourite decade and why PSB?

[Old frt]

It would have to be the sixties for me
The music, social changes, teenage rebellion, challenging authority.
I could add free love but didn't see much it in grimy Manchester!
Most memorably though, I rode my first motorbike

[chief wiggum]

ummmm....60's? cos it seems to be one of those decades of great changes, some great music and of course great muscle cars and cheap fuel. i dunno really, i've enjoyed all the decades i've lived in for different reasons......btw, i didnt live in the 60's, unless you call being a sperm living.

Yeh - Although I wasn't there - the 60's would have been truly awesome for all the obvious reasons - music/culture/science/fashion/free-love/drugs/.... 2nd place 80's.

[Murley]

2010 was pretty awesome for me and the 70's were cool because that's when I was born. Without the 70s we wouldn't have me.

The 80s are the reason we haven't communicated with intelligent extraterrestrial life - they saw that shit and didn't want to be associated with complete losers.

can we split the decades?

my favorite years are 1975 till 1985.

both car and bike lic's and a lot of good living done in those years.

70's. I was 17 in 1970 and had an absolute ball for the next 10 years. Well what I can remember of it was fun! As I've heard - if you can remember it, you weren't there.

WOW! I have been here for so many decades,it's hard to judge a favourite.

Suffice to say there were highs 'n lows in them all. I wouldn't have missed any of them.

I played, danced & sang my way through the early ones. Rode bikes (read hooned) & raced mini's, for a while.

Then my babies came.........my life changed.

Now.. I am still finding the joys of living, & still working on "the best decade" question.

The 80s...

That was my teens and early 20s...

A complete "don't give a fuck attitude"...

Made a lot of money and blew it all having fun...

[Desmo]

raced mini's, for a while.

What did you race Joan? I had a 850 that I used to race in "mini stocks" in the UK before racing a Hillman Imp in hillclimbs.
Then I went to a 1275GT with a "rather warm" Metro turbo motor in it.
Good times!

Nothing so exciting for me. Back in the 50's -early 60's a girl I worked with raced at Ellenbrook, before they spoilt it by building houses.

Her boyfriend raced Holdens, he fitted twin Carbies to an old Cooper S & we both competed in that.

The sharing idea was so that we couldn't compete against each other. One of us would have died. We were crazy, fearless & invincible.

Come to think of it, nothings changed much.

Anyone I'm alive for reason - cos I'm alive

[acegalaxi]

The 90's!!

Grunge music, teen angst, rock chicks, car licence, end of school, long hot summers :-)

[Twigs]

90's- good music, funny TV shows, changes in society....
I wish I was around for more of it.....
