Best American decade?

[TroglocratsRdumb]

What decade was the best decade for Americans post WWII?
What decade was the worst.
What decade was the happiest?
What about the present generation?

I don’t actually remember it, but I’d say the 50s were the best: post-war prosperity.

The 80s were also good - the economy recovered after the 70s, jobs became plentiful, people didn't dress like slobs when they went to work, and people were proud to be Americans.

The worst is now.

The 1950’s. The decade that gave birth to Prince, the Grammys and ME.

Don't know about the best....The last one worth a fuck was the 1990s.

I'll suck it up with my land line, flip phone, tube teevee, 50 gig hard drive, and take 1999 back......And yes, I'll even take one for the team and take Bubba Clintoon back.

The late 60s and early 70s had the best pop music
Today's music stinks.

Even though the 60s was a very turbulent time, I think that people were happier then, than they are today.

For me, the best decade was the 1970's.

As a kid, growing up on Long Island was great in the 70's. We never locked our house. Cars could be parked in the driveway with the keys in the ignition. You could leave the house at 9 o'clock in the morning and your folks wouldn't see you again until the sun was going down, at the earliest, and they didn't worry about you an iota throughout the course of the day.

Mom was a housewife and Dad was a truck driver who made more than enough to support a family of four. My $1.00 weekly allowance was enough to get me into a Saturday movie and maybe buy a couple candy bars and still have money left over. We'd set up a ramp, put a baseball card in the spokes of the Schwinn, and we were Evel Fucking Knievel.

We'd go to neighborhood cookouts on the 4th of July and then go watch the fireworks show at the high school. We'd march in the local Memorial Day parade with our boy scout troop and then go to the local volunteer fire department's annual barbeque.

And it was all free.

So, yeah, for me it was the 1970's.

Sadly, I think we're living through the worst right now...

I loved the Saturday morning cartoons in the 70s

I saw Pink Floyd in 77
I wish got to see LZ

I loved being a kid in the 1950s. Probably the best time in the history of the country to be a kid.

It was great being a teenager and young adult in the 1960s (except for that Vietnam thingy).

It was good time to start a family and career in the 1970s and 80s.

It would be a good time for retirement now except for Potatohead's failed economy and tremendous inflation. Anybody that voted for him is an idiot.

I saw Floyd at the Garden in 1977 and again in 1980 at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island...

Is yet to happen.....we still have to vote out all the democrats who have consistently held back this country with their racism and hate....

i think that he is doing some of the Animal songs

I liked the mid to late '80s.

But the first few years of the '90s were okay, too.

After '93 everything went to crap.

the 80s had some great music and movies

80's were the most fun
90's/early 2000's most profitable
