If You Could Turn Back Time Mk 2

[Bobbisox1]

What was your best decade and why?
I loved the 60s, the music , the fashion
You?

[Barsel]

Same as you Bobbs.

[Bobbisox1]

It was a happy time when jobs were plentiful ,you left on Friday and started another on Monday

[elliemay1]

I agree Bobbi for the same reasons

[Bobbisox1]

There was a feeling of opportunity Min the air Ellie

The last one. Although I suffered untold heartache in 2012 and again in 2016, I had the best years of my life to day in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.

This year is shaping up to be better and better as it progresses. Next year will, hopefully, be just grand if everything goes according to plan.

[Bobbisox1]

Lcg, we have to go through the crap to get to the best , you did and just look at you now?

[LadyCG]

Exactly, Bobbi. If I'd stayed with that utter loser I wouldn't have what I have today.

70's got to see some the best bands went to some great parties, but the 80's was also good, lot's bands again.

[Barsel]

When I was 12 in 1958 I remember going to Rhyl with a school friend and her parents.
At the fair, they were playing all these songs we'd never heard before and that was when I was introduced to Rock n' Roll.

[LadyCG]

My mum was born in '58, in Kowloon. She's 65 in October.

The 60's was great. I went into, and out of, my teens. And I didn't use recreational drugs, unlike some that I knew. One of my best friends from that time passed away only last week. It brought a tear to my eye, as I still have a photo of us from school.
Great times, and RIP Ted.

Born in the mid 50s, the 70s were my formative years, defining the person i have become as regards attitude, music, outlook on life, etc, and i would love to live through them again.
Though my 4 children were born in the 80s and, as i was present at all 4 births (and conceptions, of course) if i couldn't relive the 70s, the 80s would do just fine, thanks:-)

[puzzled54]

Late 60s and 70s were good, but all my children were born in the 80s so will have to say the 80s were the best.

[retrocop]

50s -60s

[1ozzy]

70s, for me, the hippy scene hadn't quite finished and I was old enough enjoy it.

[Bobbisox1]

Music for me was the 60s , the 50s saw Rock n Roll begin and that must have been phenomenal after leaving the era of the ballads, so exciting but then came the groups and sounds like the Mersey Sound and later Motown, strangely I skipped liking the 70s and loved the New Romantic era of the 80s

[Bobbisox1]

What song of your era takes you back there to relive it?
Was it the army years ( Ken) ?
Police ? Retro
50s ? Barsel
Mine was a 1964 hit , a few actually , Satisfaction by the Stones and Mr Tambourine Man by the Byrds
I was on a girls holiday in Amble in a caravan that one of the girls parents owned, we thought we were so grown up and got dressed up each afternoon to go to the local funfair and the waltzer, there was a dashing blonde lad with a leather jacket who made us go faster ,I was in love for those 6 days, haha

[1ozzy]

LOL, wicked you,,

[Ken4155]

Soz, Bobs, wasn't being ignorant, only just got back from doing a spot of decorating at my brother's house. The family keep dragging me out of retirement.
In answer to your question, yes, they were the army years and i loved almost every minute of them. Music-wise, i 'grew up' and began listening to 'big boy's music; Home, Grateful Dead, Dylan, Floyd, Lizzy, Purple, Genesis, Zep (your OH will understand) and, of course, in '73 i 'discovered' Queen. What a decade.
