'80s music can be quite good.

That, and I doubt you can have an opinion on those decades, as you haven't existed in either of them.

The 90's because everything good came out of that decade.

In the 90's, Bill Clinton lied right to the American people. And the NES was Nintendo's finest hour and it is from the 80's. Not the SNES. And the days of Nintendo vs. Sega was also in the 80's with the Nintendo Entertainment System (1985) vs. Sega Master System (1986), not in the 90's with the SNES (1991) vs. Genesis (1989). And the EVIL Barney that we all want to kill is from the 90's. That's why I like the 80's.

Bill Clinton may have lied to us but IMO he did a better job in office than Bush has in his 2 terms.

Besides, most people will only remember the Genesis/SNES feud.

I think Bill Clinton did way worse. And I remember the NES/SMS feud. I hate the SMS because of this. I would like to smash one more than a Genesis. And the ' 80s were way better economically.

Democrats are probably the complete opposite of what you just said.

I'd say Clinton was better than Dubya, even though he lied. But why are we centering around one stupid unimportant thing when there were tons of great things Clinton did?

....And why the heck did we stop talking about our favorite decades and start talking about politics?

Little House on the Prairie
Miami Vice

Okay, we get it, you like the 50's and the 80's more than the 90's. Stop pointlessly repeating it, please.

Either, the 90's is the best in my book. Why? The introduction of video game controversy that has the government involved, the SNES, Genesis, PS1 and N64, Beavis and Butt-head, South Park, Futurama (me thinks), Family Matters (yes, it started in the 80's, but become well known in the 90's), etc, I can go on and on.

The Democrats think that violent video games make people violent. And the NES overrules SNES in greatness and entertainment. And the controversy gives all video games a bad name. And the '80s had Ronald Reagan as president.

I don't practice nostalgia as much as I should, (if that's an art form...) but I guess I'll go with 90's.

Because of:
Nirvana
The Offspring
Lollapalooza
Ren and Stimpy
N64
Pokemon!
Tony Hawk
Harry Potter
Warped Tour (I think it debuted in the 90's)
Austin Powers!
The X Games

And, 80's music is good, if you listened to stuff like Ozzy Osbourne and Grim Reaper...and Devo!
