Which one would you:

Want to live through?
Learn more about?

Me, I wish I lived through the 70's for some odd reason.

Edit: Oh, and if possible, explain why you chose your answer.

80s mostly 82 up to 89 .... Simply to see the tours of Iron maiden from then

This one.

If I wanted to stretch beyond myself and how I normally think though, I'd go back to 1989 just to watch Guns N' Roses as they were.

Oh, and invest in Google and Microsoft. Then sell everything right before the shit hit the fan of the world.

I'd be on a yacht somewhere now. :omnomnom:

Wow, what a question

I mean i would love to live through the 40s, yes horrible time of war but the height of american progress and unity. I truly think we will never see that again

70-80s to see the punk and metal movements begin

Honestly i would pick the decade i grew up in, the 90s

Grunge music, technology boom. It just seemed like the 90s were a good year of "normalcy"(atleast to me)

I wouldn't mind living through the 1980's again, this time with the memory of which stocks to buy. :p

The 70s would be cool. I was born in 1978, so any memories I have of that decade... not so much. But you know, the thought of experiencing life around the turn of the century does hold its appeal. But I'd really only want my stay to be a brief one in both cases. I'm much to used to life as it stands now.

Early 80's. Metallica was at the Blue Cross Arena for one time only somewhere in that time period. So I'd want to be single, hot and have meet and greet passes too.

The 40's. To see how the mindset and attitude of the people of this continent differs during that wartime and this one.

And tell Cliff to not ride the bus that day. :(

Oh I think the 50's were pretty cool. The music was awesome, life seemed simpler than it is now and it would keep me off the computer.

I noticed everyone seems to be focused on the music of the age. I was a child of the 70's and despised the music/fashion/culture. I did dig the 80's a lot more. But I wouldn't want to relive it.

1960's, I would've been a fantastic hippie.

I was around then.Trust me,you didn't miss much.:)

I would say the 40's off the top of my head because i love the music and movies of that era,but my parents were young then and i've read enough history to know how things really were.We all tend to romantasize the past but all in all we are better off right now then we have ever been.:)

I think I'm good where I am. Being black, I don't think I'd want to live anytime before 1970.

the 80's for their crazy hair, the 70's so I could get high and see all the pretty disco light, and the 60's so i could have 'free love' all the time, but only if they shower first.

I could say the 50s, mainly cause the country and economy was on the upswing and things were positive-sounding. Plus the chance to see Charlie Parker or Django Reinhardt(who were still with us) or Miles Davis, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, or Louis Prima in their prime.

But......the 60s was a time for change. Not only music, but attitudes, clothes, opinions, people were thinking for themselves, it sounded like a very exciting time to be alive. Plus the music was awesome and the t.v. shows were better. I'd take Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In" and "The Flip Wilson Show" anyday over "The Donna Reed show" or "The Honeymooners".

Plus...and very important.....hippies. Female hippies.... Barefoot female hippies! I think I've made my point. Right On!!:veryhappy;)

I would love to live through the 90's again. It was a very chill time, the clinton era marked: the golden age of hiphop, electronic music, and games! The Animaniacs, Garfield and Friends, the Nintendo 64, just a few things, but the 90's were really an exiting time to be alive, at least for me

I would be right at home in the 1960's

I'm already so much a hippy I would go unnoticed there.

Free love FTW!

i second this. although i'm sure it would be interesting to live in a different time period, the 90's were a great time to grow up and i wouldn't mind doing it again. the music was great, television was great, and technology was exciting and new (nowadays, i think we're all so addicted to computers and cell phones that it would be nice to go back to a time before them).

The 1920s or 1930s, to drive those wonderful cars and biplanes....assuming I would have been stinky rich and living the Indiana Jones live of course!
If I would have to be just normal I take the last decade 1990-2000 :D.

Roaring 20's (cuz I would be the cutest flapper EVAR) or the 60's of course.

I would say the 60's, for me to better understand what people of color had to really go thru all the craziness of racism, and the movements that came from it

I'd like to go back to the 70's but with me being older, I would love to have met my Grandad, I never knew him.

Other than that, I'd go with the flapper girls thanks samantha :D and the 60's and 80's.

I guess I'm just greedy :p
