I wasn't gonna answer this question, but the more I thought about it, I figured I may as well.  I think the 80s were.  Well.. no... maybe the 60s.  AW HELL I don't like this question.  I say the 60s for breaking down the racial wall.  (Not that they were fun times, at all, but the strength of those fighting was amazing and did wonders for society today).  But in the 80s we realized that we are a united country that can fight for hunger and sickness. Remember when AIDS came out?? Suddenly musicians took a stand to do more with their money than spend it on parachute pants and cases of hairspray. It was a time when the nation came together with Hands Across America and Live Aid, etc etc etc.  Kids in my school started focusing on world news, instead of highschool ball scores. We had presidents shot at, a Beatle was murdered, space shuttles exploded, Russia toke their finger off the button, gays and lesbians were coming out all over the place and fighting for their equallity.  Microwaves became a household product. Didn't viagra hit the market in the late 80s? lol  It was a year of eye opening things. Maybe not a technological boom, as much as a psychological boom.  Shrinks were less shunned upon. Divorces were no longer taboo. Massive hurricanes hit the coast, and I personally saw neighborhoods becoming one family- taking care of each other like none before.  Limits were being put on music and euthanasia issues hit the scene when a girl named Teri Shaivo was in coma, and her parents wanted to keep her alive, while her husband wanted to pull the plug.  Walls fell in Germany. The 80s really influenced the way I saw the world.  It seemed almost like the decade pulled many countries closer together so our people and their people could hug. I'm not sure what happened in the 90s, and I'm not so sure the 2000-2010 decade will be much better.

The 1960's. It was a very exciting time. Social changes and political upheaval! I would've liked to be a hippie, minus the drugs.

Not ever. 1994 was horrible, and 2002, not much better. Thank God I still remember 1970, 1982 and 1986!

There probably is not one answer, but a lot of interpretations of policies, etc.  However, one clear effect was the huge military build up that sparked some industry in the US.  Whether this was good or bad for the economy in the eighties is up to interpretation.  It certainly slowed the growth of new, inventive economic strategies and policies.

The music of 1990 was more '80s like. \n\nThe #1 song for that year was Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor. \n\nIf you look at the list of the Top 100 songs, the artists are more closely associated with the 80's rather than the 1990's. Artists like Bon Jovi, Wilson Phillips, Madonna, Bette Midler, Bell Biv Devoe, Billy Idol

Heck! I left the UK at the end of the 'Thatcher Years' and I thought that was bad, I recently visited the UK and I wanted to cry. The country I was once proud of, and what I wanted to show off to my children has become a laughing stock, and we have  Blair and his cronies to thank for that. England has lost everything under Labour.
