What was the coolest decade of the 20th century to live in?

[Syt]

When would you like to have been alive during the 20th century?

Me, I'm torn between the roaring 20s and the late 60s/early 70s.

[Viking]

1990s no doubt

80s no mobile phones
70s stagflation
60s no computers
50s no contraceptive pill
40s WWII
30s Great Depression
20s no household appliances
10s WWI
00s Nasty social situation for everybody except the rich.

80s no mobile phones

Actually an argument for any decade without them.

[Jaron]

The 1990s easily. You had Alanis, you had the Clinton years , and I was still a teenager!

[Phillip V]

Head did not start becoming a given until the 1990s?

[Norgy]

90s.
It was pussyville.

[Tamas]

If not the 90s then late 60s.

Nah, I would go with late 60s, the little-renessaince of those years still echoes in our culture.

[PRC]

90s sucked, too many posers.

[The Brain]

Voted 20s. The first modern decade. They had almost everything we have but it was a little different.

1954-1963

Cool jazz, Rat Pack, smoking was in, guys wore suits and thin ties to parties, and the ladies still wore gloves.
Yeah, daddyo.

[Admiral Yi]

The Jazz Age.

[Martinus]

1970s. The glam rock era.

[Threviel]

1900s, I don't need to say more than Dreadnought.

[Norgy]

1954-1963

Cool jazz, Rat Pack, smoking was in, guys wore suits and thin ties to parties, and the ladies still wore gloves.
Yeah, daddyo.

Good call.

I never lived through the age when smoming was the sign of a healthy man.

A runner up:
The 1940s, doing commando raids with 10th Independent Company.
Those guys were real. And they did some training that would make the fat just melt off us saturated no-good 30somethings.

Your black ass would have been on the back of a bus somewhere.
