If you had a time machine and could go back and spend a month in a past year, what year would you pick?

It's kind of tough for me because there are so many parts of the 1980's that I would love to go back to.

But I guess I'd have to pick 1988 for myself.

I turned 16 years old early in the year, I got my license and first car, was dating the hottest 16 year old chick on the planet, would hangout with my buddies a lot, it was probably the happiest year of my life.

So what year would any of you pick, and why?

P.S. Obviously 1988 was a great year for music too. I know that Journey didn't have a new album out that year, but still a lot of great music was still being played at that time. My favorite Survivor album of all time, Too Hot To Sleep was released that year.

I would go back to 1989, when I was 18, my senior year in high school.

That was another one of my favorite years. Both Bad English and Neal Schon had albums out that year too, which was a great bonus.

Easy.

I would go back twice. Is that allowed? Yes it is, because I do what I want

First I would go back to 1914, hop on that giant ship heading to America, climb up to the bridge and steer that fucker around the iceberg., thus saving 2,000 lives.

Secondly, I would back to 1999, and either make sure the retards in Florida punched the right box, or, run W's bus off the fuckin' road into a deep ravine, thus saving this country 8 years of living Hell.

amd I would go back to 1992 also and make sure Deano fails.....

With no hesitation. The day I set my eyes on my "better-half". That was... a long time ago. Never stop talking about it... together.

July 1988. That was one of the wildest and funniest months of my life.
Just finished high school and we all partied like it was the end of the world.The music was awesome,too.Rock was King.

I can't possibly come up with anything better than this so I'm not even gonna try. Go Deano!Go Deano!Go Deano!

You weren't a history major I take it.

Fuck! I was so riled up. You dickbreathed assgoblin.


1999 is what I meant.

Even though I fucked up, notice Gator fucked up too? LOL

Brilliant!

I would probably go back to the Toto concert last summer....then I'd go back again, and again, and you get the picture.

I didn't even read the date because I knew what you meant. (Damned nitpickers.)

1912

There are tons of world events that I'm sure most of us wish we could go back and change for the better.

But I really meant more for your own enjoyment of a time in your life that you would like to be able to revisit.

1988 would be a good year for me, too. I agree with Laura, the music that summer was great! Ahhh, the memories!!

WW1 started in 1914, so that could be where it came from?

First I'd go back to 1972 and make sure the bitch that is currently taking me to cleaners was only a sheet stain and maxi pad residue.

Then I'd go back to 1979 and see my boys with Perry at the absolute top of their game riding it forward until the princess came into the picture. Then back now ....

I think about this question all the time.

Musically? 1985. Right before cheese metal like Poison ruined real metal...when MR ruled. Journey, Toto, Survivor, Boston, Def Leppard, Loverboy, the Outfield, Queensryche, U2, Van Hagar all at the top of their games.

Movies...let's see...probably somewhere in the first half of the 80's, when Chevy Chase was still funny. Caddyshack, Animal House, Blade Runner...I could ramble all day.

Until this past August I had been happier than at any point in my life. No wild parties, hot girlfriends, or any incarnations of my rock bands could ever duplicate the feeling I get when I hold my son and he falls asleep in my arms.

Your politics suck ass but you rule musically speaking.

I'd go back to February 2000, the month before my dad died and tell him everything I would have told him if I knew he was going to die. Actually, I'd go back to being a kid, knowing what I know now and appreciate the hell out of my aunts, uncles and grandparents.

I'd go back to 1988. I miss my Sound Design Stereo and Bon Jovi Posters.

I knew what you meant....I still say I'd go where you go to FOIL YOUR PLANS!!!!!!

I'd go back to May of 1929...I would have handed a certain Mrs. Spector a coathanger.
Money wasting hack...next he'll be overseeing the review of bono's toilet paper shit smears.

My sis and I had a (drunken) conversation like this not long back - it was our time travel plan to save rock n' roll. We would visit pivotal moments in rock history and intervene to stop things that shouldn't have happened.

But if I can only go for a month... May 1979. Journey played 5 straight days here. I'd be at every show.
(I'm visiting, not reliving, right? Otherwise I'd be 2 1/2 and there'd be no point in going.... )

I understand you on that. My father died in 1997. In fact I would have said something similar, except that my father would also still be alive in 1988 as well.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Hey Journey/Survivor-what did you think about "When Seconds Count"?? I think I wore that shit out back in 86....
