I love the 70's and 80's. But, I voted for the 50's because I always wanted to live in that time. I thought it just seemed so neat with the malt shops and everything seemed so new and exciting. Stuff happens now and while it might be new and amazing what they can come up with as far as technology goes it never seems to be a big shock. It's like they can do anything now and I think that in the 50's if you said that we'd be using a phone that could fit into our pockets people would think you were crazy! I loved the poodle skirts, sock hops, the music, men were gentlemen and it just seemed so fun! I could be way off track on my thinking and someone who lived in the 50's may have a different, more accurate view of it but, that's my take on it and I'd choose to go back to the 50's!

[Mumof2]

80's!!

[trackrebel]

I voted for the 60s....a lot of stuff going on....from the hippies from Kennedy...the landing on the moon....in Germany people started to earn more and be able to live nice after the war finally....I just like how buzzing it must have been....Woodstock comes to mind....without the drugs....:D....I love the 60s....the music....Motown Soul....Janis Joplin....Bob Dylan....Beatles...Stones....

from my personal ways...it would be the 80s....they were my first 9 yeras on this place we called earth...and life was perfect back then....no divorced parents....nice kid´s programms....I started to get into sports....Janet Jackson broke thru in 86...Michael and Madonna were huge....Breakdance was invented and became big.....as a girl....Flashdance and Dirty Dancing come to mind as well...I loved the 80s....life was still easy back then....

but I voted for the 60s now...cos it seems so interessting....oh yeah....and I love 60´s Impalas!!!

More proof from the eighties.....

[trackrebel]

in Your last post....is that the woman from the series "HOTEL"....I loved watching that with my mama

[CharlestonNole]

Hotel was a great show.

[trackrebel]

yeah I liked it too....my mom always watched General Hospital....while she was ironing and stuff like that...she really loved it....I kinda hated in the beginning...because I could not watch cartoons then...:D....but when Luke and Laura escaped...I started to like it a little bit...haha

but HOtel was a really, really show

my favorite 80s show tho....

is

Cagney and Lacey....those two detectives....I loved the show...from the starting song...to the actors...the conversation and cases they had to solve...loved it...and would love to have it on dvd one day

[HolidayHoney]

I have to go with the 70s, I was a teenager and had a silver Chevy with a moonroof and oh....the music was sooo good!! Three of us girls would get into my car on the weekends and we would drive 50 miles to go to a different restaurant or theatre, all the while blasting Lynard Skynard or ACDC or Pat Benatar in the cassette player! It's amazing how little sleep we got! The 80s were awesome too, but for me the 70s will never die.

[Christmasstar]

I will go for anyone of those as I liked something about them all.cheesy

[rodmonster]

Yup!
This is what i have!

[sugarplum fairy]

I would go back to the late 80's. I loved it!

[trackrebel]

I think the Cosbys are missing on that collage....boy...I could reverse my vote now...I´d go for the 80s too now...with the 60s a very close 2nd....

because....the 80s brought The Cosby Show and Roseanne....my two favorite sitcomes of all time to life.....and of cousre not to forget....Who´s The Boss and Growing Pains with Kirk Cameron...who I think was my first real hearthtrob......plus all my beloved cartoons

[kelly ann]

I voted the50's because I loved the music and the fashion/make up of the era.

Rodmonster......do you collect toys?

[Mr Walker]

70s

I was watching a bit of 'I Love The 70s Volume 2 - I Love 1977' on VH1 Classic last night and got to see segments on 'Quincy M.E.' (btw Quincy owns Gil Grissom), Jokers Wild, Name That Tune, Nancy Drew Mysteries... real good stuff.

[George Broderick, Jr.]

Gotta put in a plug for the 50's here! The music totally kicked butt... I wasn't born until '57, so there are a great many comics from the Fifties I've never read... plus, Department Stores gave out free Christmas comics every year as premiums... and finally...

THIS premiered in 1957, as well...

[act_as_if]

Oh, for sure the 80's from the clothes to even the hair, I love the 80's. Although, I do have to say I love 70's rock.

[ScottCalvin]

80's for me, its when I grew up.

I can remember 80's TV in England after Saturday Afternoon's sport, there were come classic 80's shows that were good to watch.

Airwolf, The A Team, Duke of Hazzard, Knight Rider, CHiPs, The Fall Guy.

Music I was into mostly the Hair Rock n Roll Bands, still am, Bon Jovi, Posion, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Van Halen.

And one of my favourite 80's movies of all time Back to Future, after I saw this I always wanted to goto America.

[Santa's Helper]

The Fall Guy! I loved (still do) that theme song! I just watched Back to the Future II yesterday. Love Back to the Future I and II, I don't care for III though.

[trackrebel]

Airwolf, The A Team, Duke of Hazzard, Knight Rider, CHiPs.....I loved these shows as well....tho i think the dukes and chips is from the 70s?....it has that 70s feeling to me

lots of cartoons I loved to watch....Dr. Snuggles....Fraggles Rock...Saber Rider....Ninja Turtles....all the Marvel Comics....oh how I loved it....

[ScottCalvin]

80's Cartoons, hmmmmmm, Thundercats, Battle of the Planets, Mask, Jayse and the wheeled warriors, Transformers Gobots, and my all time favourite

Visionaries Knights of the Magical light

[trackrebel]

i like the SMurfs too....:D....so sweet....and Strawberry Shortcake and the rainbow bride, too...even tho I never liked the girly shows that much...but i loved these two

[rodmonster]

I love you guys!

I love the 70s and 80s..although I love 70s music more.

[George Broderick, Jr.]

I have to agree... the 70's music was better than the 80's (for me)...

All you folks interested in those 80's cartoons you keep mentioning might want to check out this site: http://www.80scartoons.net/

I was in my 20's, out of college and working for most of the 80's, so the only cartoons I remember fondly from the (late) 80's was The Simpsons and that revived Mighty Mouse show.

[rodmonster]

All good!!!!!!!

[ScottCalvin]

you can't beat the 80's for a good power ballad Rock bands could always turn out a good love song

Poison - Every Rose has its thorn.
Europe - Carrie
Bon Jovi Never Say Goodbye
Van Halen - Why can't this be love

[rodmonster]

How VERY true!

[Santa's Helper]

OH my! Never say goodbye was always the last song played at the dances I used to go to every Friday night! That was so funny. Everyone would rush to the gym floor for one last slow dance before our parents would pick us up and they would always start turning the lights on before the song was over and all of the people dancing would be exposed. And sometimes that wasn't such a good thing to see! Friday night dances at B.C.A.C. (that was the name of the athletic center that held the dances). I used to scrape together $3 every Fri. so that I could go. Quite a gathering of kids too. 6th grade to 12th graders were there. It actually was one of those dances that parents wouldn't let their kids attend now because of the older kids being there. But, everyone went and it was so much fun.

[rodmonster]

Ur killin me!
Ahhhhh skate night comes to mind......
4 bucks and good to go. 2 to get in and 2 for food... all i needed was the disco ball and the slow song for couples skating ONLY...
YEAH BABY!!!

[Santa's Helper]

Oh my goodness. I forgot about the skate nights! We used to go to skate night for a few hours and then it would be a dance. Our parents would drop us off at like 7 and then around 9 we would change into our shoes and the skate night would turn into a dance night that would go until midnight. I used to take skate lessons at the Roll R Skate! My favorite things to do were get a slushie, eat cotton candy and pin my coat check tag on my belt loop of my pants! I always thought that was cool. One time I was there with my friends and it was a couples skate so my friend Traci and I were skating together. We passed this couple who was skating with their little boy and they yelled for us and asked us if we'd be willing to skate with their son so that they could have 1 skate together. We just giggled and skated off. We were like, 8 years old. Well, at the end of the day everyone was getting out of their skates and heading to the coat check. I looked over there and there was a huge crowd gathered in front of the check counter. I didn't know what was going on. My friend's brother came out of the crowd and said Robin Cole was signing autographs over there and asked if we wanted one. I said yes because I figured if he's signing he must be of some importance. I had no idea who Robin Cole was. He was a Pittsburgh Steelers player! Well when the crowd parted and I saw who it was I about died! It was the same guy who asked me to skate with his little boy and I said no! And now I'm getting his autograph. Too funny! I used to go there and wear my leg warmers down over my skates and have my littlea Jordache purse draped across my body. I miss those days.

[rodmonster]

GREAT STORY!!
Cant top that.. I just have stories of my Friends getting the braces locked while trying to kiss ans skate at the same time!
=)

[trackrebel]

Your stories of the 80s sound a bit different than mine....I was so young back then....I was playing with my toy kitchen and fisher price parking garage...instead of going to dances....:D

[rodmonster]

Yeah so was my little sister.... and my litte brother - wel he was playing with his Tonkas and Nintendo!

[trackrebel]

It took my more than a year to talk my mom into let me safe up my money to buy a game boy....so even tho I started playing video games in the late 80s....over at friends...it took me till 91 to get one myself....oh how I loved my game boy with the ugly screen...:D....I rocked at the Ninja turtles game

[rodmonster]

That was the all the rage!

[trackrebel]

I also remember that when I talked my mom into letting me have a game boy...that Tetris was actually a game for Your head...that You had to think a lot doing it.........and even tho...it´s true a bit....it´s not rocket science...haha....

[dvdelf]

I still have the first gameboy

[rodmonster]

Yup - got mine too!

[dvdelf]

I didn't have a game boy but, I have the original Nintendo game system and my husband and I play it all the time. We like to play Dr. Mario together. I also got super NES this Christmas from my brother but, I don't have any games for it yet. I used to have Atari 2600 with a bunch of games but, when my mom moved she got rid of it! I also had an Intelevision II at my dad's house where I used to play Burgertime all the time.

[rodmonster]

Me too. You can see some in the picture...
I have xbox, wii, sega, original nintendo, atari 2600, original atari computer with tape drive, and PONG!

Hmmm....in about 20 years I'll probably get a Wii and catch up with the times and then I'll play those games! My husband and I want to get a Wii but, we just haven't done so yet. We're kind of old school around here with our video gaming systems.

[George Broderick, Jr.]

My dad got a Wii for Christmas and I tried Wii bowling on it... with every ball I threw, I thought to myself "Gee, wouldn't it be just as much fun to ACTUALLY go bowling for real?"...

I don't get it... I'm getting old...

Hey, you kids! Get outta my yard!

What were we talking about..?

[Santa's Helper]

I love bowling! For real, not of Wii. I've never played it on Wii. I bowled in a league for a long time and I quit this year because of school. I used to be pretty good, average was 169. The past couple of years though my average tanked because I took an 8 year break. It was only a 147! I love to bowl though.

[trackrebel]

that´s relaly, really cool Santa.....I have only been bowling 2 or 3 times in my entire life....it´s been fun tho...I think I got some talent....but well....for now...not much money left over to spend for bowling and the movies.....so I play old video games....:D

The choice was a hard one for me--50s or 60s. I chose the 60s because those were my high school and college years at East Caroline University (it went from East Carolina Teachers College to ECU in 1969, my senior year there). Trips to the beach on weekends, concerts during the summer with names like Four Seasons, The Lettermen, Ray Charles, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Bobby Vinton, and Classics IV, these were definitely "Moments to Remember" (a nostalgic song from 1955 by the Four Lads). I liked the Beatles okay, but preferred the other lesser-known British Invasion singers--Ferry Cross the Mersey (not sure of the spelling), by Jerry and the Pacemakers was a fav as was Twiggy featured in Seventeen Magazine, Mary Qant, and all the "groovy" makeup of the 60s. From the 50s I loved Howdy Doody, The Mickey Mouse Club, Superman, Lone Ranger, Red Skelton, and all those wholesome-type shows. I do remember all the things mentioned about the 70s and 80s because my kids were being raised during those times. I loved hearing the song posted by Santa's Helper. I, too, wanted to know what was inside Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster. I found our when my son Kane opened one up! Thanks for the memories!!!

For me it would be the late 50's and early 60's. Our winters were very snowy with lots of sleigh riding after school. The fun was only slightly marred by concerns over fallout from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons as we were told not to eat even the white snow. Also, I think the toys and TV shows were much better than they are today. They focused on adventure and imagination and not on the so-called reality of today.

There are bunch out there like this... Like 1985, etc but this one defines it for me in the 70s and 80s.

I was wondering .....after a short seventies revival in 93 (I remember that from the odler ones in school...and some music videos....I was just 12) bell bottomsy came back full force in Germany by end of 96 or beginning of97......they were not the huuuuuuuuuge ones....but they still looked fresh....I would either wear those....or my baggy pants...:D....so I mixed them 60/70s with the 90s...:D

"Groovy" is a '60s word. I don't think anyone used it un-ironically after about 1971. "Far out" is more '70s.

[Wenceslaus]

Having lived through, and remembering well, the '80s and '90s, I don't feel any particular nostalgia for those decades. I chose the '50s because it was a decade I didn't live through, so it would be much more interesting. Not the ersatz '50s of Grease, Happy Days and Back to the Future, but the real thing.

Even better, I'd like to have lived in the 1920s and the 1940s (see how easy it is to skip the Great Depression?). Growing up, I had this thing about the '20s. I read the novels The Great Gatsby and Babbit, watched as many silent movies as I could (especially Laurel & Hardy), enjoyed paging through issues of Liberty and Saturday Evening Post at the library, and got a kick listening to old 78 records on a friend's basement Victrola.

[Santa's Helper]

My brother still has my mom's old stereo at his house. It was one of those long wooden stereo cases that had the lids that lifted up on each side. One side had a radio and 8-track player, in the middle was a compartment that you could slide your albums into and on the other side it had a record player. I know he still has all of the albums in it and the 8-tracks. I used to listen to my mom's Barry Manilow and Bette Midler 8-tracks and my brother used to listen to my mom's Steve Martin records, the one with him on the cover with the bunny ears. We still have the John Denver and the Muppets album in there too as well as Charlie Brown Christmas album!!

My brother still has my mom's old stereo at his house. It was one of those long wooden stereo cases that had the lids that lifted up on each side. One side had a radio and 8-track player, in the middle was a compartment that you could slide your albums into and on the other side it had a record player.

My friend used to have a record player that had flashing lights on the front of it and I'd bring my records down to her house and we'd set it up in the basement and roller skate! The flashing lights helped add to the experience!

I liked 8 tracks because they would make that clunk sound when you would push the track button!

I would have loved to see the 60's, but not live there. I'd love to go bak to the 80's, since I was so young then. I would love to be in college during the 80s!

One thing I have noticed no one has voted the 90's :-? for all the technology that became available/more accessible no one has voted for it.

I guess we all want to live in a simplier time. Is simplier a word? I don't know!

I have to say.....I love the 90s....it was the time of my youth...first kiss and everything....hang out with my best friend...play hockey, tennis...party....get drunk for the first time....:D.....I just didn´t vote for it...because somehow the 90s have been sad for me too.....I grew and found out life ain´t as great as seemed in the 80s....I found out my parents were fighting verbally all the time...even tho it was hidden....and when my pops was durnk...which was all the time...well...it wsa not so nice...they got divorced then...and since then...life got better.......so that is the only reason i have not voted for the 90s
