Yeah, the roaring twenties for me too and the speak-easies
My answer is two periods - the 1920s and the 1950s - with the 20s just having the edge. I was a sub-teenager in the 1950s. I hail from the UK and in the 1950s life was pretty simple and families were still recovering from war rationing. However, compared to the huge materialism of today, we were happier beings, I believe.
I'd have loved to have lived in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s - but in the States, not the UK. Why? Well, because these days my musical interests revolve around jazz and in those decades there were great things going on in America.
It's strange, isn't it, how music seems to play such an important part in our lives?
Of course, medicine was not as advanced in those decades as today and I guess that that would be one of the downsides but, then again, diseases such as AIDs and problems such as widespread obesity didn't exist.

I voted for the 60s-70s... I would have loved to have lived in Chicago or in Cicily, Italy. This is probably me being influenced by the Godfather movies, atmosphere, dress code of the time... not for the music of the time, though...
Music wise, I'd love to have been a teenager in the 80s (and I only was 3yrs old in 1980......).

1900, then I can invent some things, now there is too much stuff already and my brain is tired of thinking of new things.
