Hmmmm hard to choose.
I'm old enough to remember the 60's - can still remember hearing 'Sugar, Sugar' playing in a pub whilst waiting for a bus outside The Marples - Dambuster might remember that pub.
70's - Sweet, T-Rex - fab.
80's - oooo Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, met Mr FB, got married, got pregnant - all great.
90's - went back to school. Hmmmm.
Naughties - well :twisted:

Blimey you waited a year before posting on the forum jaymar... Welcome aboard
The 70's were the best decade for music for me... I am still a Donny Osmond fan to this day :lol2:
The best decade for me personally??.... :? Can I be awkward and say between 1985 to 1989 and 1996 to 2006??

LOL thank you Shireen hun! We are kinda shy and don't really know much about the forum. We do however, read often but didn't know how to go about replies etc.,
So many nice people here, makes up for the timewasters etc., thanks again xx

I was an 80's girl myself, would do it again in a flash! Madonna's 'true blue' 'borderline', George Michael's 'careless whisper' etc.,... out dancing with my flourescent socks, one pink one orange, matching coloured fingerless gloves and hair with a 'rat's tail'.... anyone else remember these? fab!
Love Mrs Jaymar xx

OMG major flashback to my teens
I had a collection of flourescent socks - Pink, yellow, orange & green :shock:

All of the above! lol

Loved the 80's - left school in '89 and was expecting soon after.
The 80's was my only "carefree" decade- even though I was just 16 in '89 I packed a lot of fun into the space of 3 months!
Then meeting Mr W in late summer '89 meant life took an unexpected twist. The 90's was the childbearing decade for me- first baby in 90, 2nd in 93, 3rd in 94 and finally & unexpectedly 4th in 99.
Damn hard work- but I love 'em all. And as for mr W, I cant imagine how life would have been had he not saved me from the pit I was heading into. kiss

However, the noughties have found me discovering myself & finally letting my extrovert inner out from its introvert shell! biggrin

I went to back to college- achieved great results but then decided the degree I was meant to be going onto wasn't for me. Having a brush with a (thankfully "minor") cancer helped me make some decisions there. Met my fantastic best mate- who has introduced me to tall ship sailing & martial arts. Theres also sky diving and L.A.R.P on the horizon :bounce:
Two years ago I was & unhealthy- now im training as a fitness instructor dunno

Actually, scrap the 80's- despite the health problems, so far this decade I've discovered Im capable of more than I ever imagined!
:bounce:
(shame the musics crap though!)

wow great post and i've loved reading all the think i have a favourite decade tbh but i loved the 60's bands beatles,stones and countless others the 70's probably had a wider amount of music i love and still listen too today like elton john,roxy music,queen,led zep, t rex,elo,blondie,the eagles the list gos on and on (79 is my all time favourite year) the 80's and this in my opinion is when it all started to go horibly wrong in the music world ok it started off great with two tone/ska like madness,speicals and the beat and the electro groups omd,gary numan,yazoo etc and we got married :D but then in mid decade came stock aitken and waterman this trio inflicted apon us such dire pop acts such as dead or alive,sonia,sinitta etc they must have ripped off just about every classic record ever recorded and it beggers belief how anyone was mad enough to buy this for me anyway the pop industry has been hurtling downhill and at fast pace ever since and the 90's to present day dos nothing for me at all sure i like the odd song that comes out but would i buy an album from somebody of this era not a hope in hell tbh

. . . . . . The Marples - Dambuster might remember that pub.

On the corner of Fitzalan Sq ??
That might be the one I remember tumbling down the curved stairway. Top to bottom.
That was in a time before I learned the dammiewobble.
I used to just GPFO - Get Pissed, Fall Over redface

Then get into scrapes surprised

ops: in the taxi queue that went all the way round the Square rolleyes

Saturday night Memory Lane - just for Freckledbird . . . . . .
Finish work in Castle Market (Barrow Boy on a fish stall)
Into Berni Inn for a couple of pints (age . . . 15/16 :oops: )
Phone for two taxis. One for me to Southey, one for 'Paul' to Gleadless.
Get home, ask taxi driver to wait, pay Mum my "board" run upstairs, undress, sort of get cleaned up, quick rub round with a wet, soapy flannel (there was a taxi outside with the meter running ffs) and changed (Ben Sherman shirts, two tone Levis Staypress - or high waist band flares and platform shoes, shirt open to the waist - a la Bee Gees) half a bottle of aftershave (didn't need to shave at that age) race back downstairs, back into the taxi to see who could get to the stocks in The Stonehouse first. Loser got the next 2 or 3 rounds in.
A few beers in Stonehouse, "prospecting" and wondering which of the lucky ladies would be in the same club as us later :roll:
Visit a couple of other city centre pubs, before making our way down Fargate/High Street towards Bank St/Angel St area, last pub drink in Dove and Rainbow then into Baileys for a spot of clubbing. Sometimes we'd catch a show/watch the turn in Annabelles's in Baileys then get to the serious of work of pulling. Always refusing the invites back to the girls houses, instead; doing the shagging outside up against a wall. That way you didn't have to undress and remove shoes (remember the quick rub round with a flannel - and that I was a barrow boy to a fish stall)
Every Saturday night was an adventure.
Halcyon days.
:oops:
:grin:

It's my age, you know biggrin

DB, know all those places and spent a fair bit of time in all of them. My mum used to work in Bailey's - she might have served you!
Half of those places aren't there any more though confused

15 Oct 2006

oooh this is so hard, i dont think i can chose one cos i love them all for totally different reasons
60's motown, soul, del shannon, billy fury, gene pitney etc etc
70's glam rock, punk, rocky horror
80's mission, sisters of mercy, gary numan, thethe, the cult, the cure oh i could go on forever
90's brought grunge, nirvana, pearl jam etc
00's slipknot, audioslave, soad, qotsa, him and so on and so forth
my fave decade i suppose has to be the one i am in at the present time whenever in my life that is, cos i am alive and enjoying myself
Earthy xx

All my decades so far have been great.
60s - music and sexual awakening
70s - music again and my Angelica coming into my life
80s - young kids growing up
90s - kids growing into adults up introducing me to more fab music
00s -music and sexual awakening (courtesy of the beautiful people of SH) - do they call that a life cycle I wonder??
