And those were the good times.

Kewl - I just forgot the rules. Damet. I would have loved to be an adult during the 90's - love 90s music. Oh, I would live in on a Polynesian Island:)

Enquiring the age of a girl is a bit like playing with landmines but, dare I ask hold old you are? I too grew up during the 90s.

The 1980's were awesome, but I've already done that. Maybe the 1880's would be cool to live in.

Couple of choices here...

1770s to witness/participate in the birth of the US, maybe even meet some of my childhood heroes (yes, I may have been/am that lame).

I would also like to see anytime in Roman Republic. If I had to be my current age, I pick a time at peace (being drafted/conscripted/coerced to "volunteer"=bad time).

the 40s wouldn't be bad either. Meeting my grandparents when they were my age would be very interesting, as well as seeing WW2 firsthand.

I think I'd rather go back and be younger while retaining everything I know. Get hardcore honors in everything, lots of scholarships, show people how to extract caffeine with acetone, etc.

Blasphemy!!!

I am big on ballads, RnB, Soul - and 90s produced the best..
The music of today is absolute kaka in comparison! I would possibly take 80s music over the filth of today. Maybe. Hmmm, how I dont know what kinda music was on offer in the 80s hahaha:p

Please don't call the crap they call RnB real RnB.

Others are confusing the question of the OP with time travel. It's not the same thing. ;)

Haahahaha, not too young:p I remember being a child and listening to 'grown up' songs, songs I still listen to today - thinking, Im walking down the aisle to that song. Now, I have like a million wedding songs - and no man:p

I'll def check out the 50s and 60s though:) Dont get me wrong, Im not saying that the 90s is the best ever, but its my dream era. I would have loved to be in love during that time. Everything about it was exciting to me!

Pretty much all the (new) ones you mentioned haha! If you go back before the advent of the loudness war you start to get into real music.

Nothing like Memphis Minnie!
