Best Years In History

Why is 2000 the best year? Because:

-new millennium (duh! )
-PS2 was released
-Nothing really bad happened that year
-I was born
-and many more

2005 comes really close, however.

"Nothing really bad happened that year" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The worst American president since Herbert Hoover was elected. What do you mean "Nothing bad happened" - B1ueNew

This year was great but I wanted to rate the other years starting on 2004.
2004 - Great 7/10
2005 - Amazing 9/10
2006 - Awesome 8/10
2007 - BEST YEAR EVER! 10/10
2008 - Meh 5/10 Not the best year but not the worst either.
2009 - Bad 2/10 I think this was the start of the fall like Michael Jackson died and a flu was on that year.
2010 - Terrible 1/10 This year was not a good year at all but its not the worst.
2011 - Good 6/10 Things were starting to get better.
2012 - Meh 5/10 In this year it was so hot!
2013 - Good 6/10 A little underrated year.
2014 - Bad 2/10 I was NOT a fan of this year, I got sick, Breadwinners premiered and it was the last time I went to my swimming class.
2015 - Terrible 1/10 I can't even say why I hate this year.
2016 - Good 6/10 WAY TOO UNDERRATED AND OVERHATED!
2017- WORST YEAR EVER! 0/10 There was NOTHING good about this year, there was the Las Vegas shooting, Hurricane Harvey, Donald trump becomes president, Harvey ...more

Great year. The only year of the 2000's with a strong economy, the beginning of the millenium, the year of the dragon, a leap year, and I could go on and on.

The 'Year' when 'Spastic Chav's' began to populate.

It was awesome because like we had new Technology like smart phones and good computers, but it wasn't a problem with people being glued to them and our life didn't revolve around Technology. Probably best year of my life so far, 2012 comes very close but this year was special because he music was better and the world was a better place.

Everyone was creative and different

It just had a positive energy to it, I was 10 then but I could feel that the world was the best place to live in and lots of good stuff happened to me like graduating middle school with an A

It was so bright and safe. Now there are shootings all the time. Music was actually good too!

I swear to God 2017 will be a thousand times better than 2016. - anonygirl

2006: Amazing (8/10)
2007: Awesome! - Best Year of My Life! (10/10)

I am taken back to 2002

In December of 2007, I did not want 2007 to end. I went to both Disneyland and Sea World this year, so it was pretty good for you. - anonygirl

That's when lots of web series and cool, things happened like bratz we'll kinda

BEST YEAR EVER! The end of 4th grade and all of 5th grade were the BEST years of my whole life! The summer of 2007 was EPIC! I got to go to Las Vegas. I got the Nintendo Wii, one of my favorite video game consoles ever! This is my favorite childhood year by far! - TheDelBel

The year when I was born and mighty boosh T.V. series and radio series came out. The best magical year.

Spider-Man 2, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, burnout 3, Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban, the Incredibles, shrek 2, halo 2, half life 2, metal gear solid 3 that year was the best - Alxg_mez

This year was great in my opinion! I was born and..._. Actually, that's the only good thing I can think of right now... - FuffleyandPeetah

This year should be number one

The year of Fight Club and The Matrix. And I was born that year

I was born that year, and so much magical things happened.

The year I was born.

Y2k bug scare! Most overhated pop star Justin Bieber was only a little 6 year old, same for Harry Styles then Liam, Zayn and Niall only 7, Louis on Christmas Eve turned 8 years old.

The world ended in this year and now we're all ghosts! Ha ha ha!

What man if the world ended I wouldn't have heard about most rappers and this site. - AlphaQ

It is 2018 right now and I hope in just 2 years, we have either a 1980s, 1990s, or early 2000s comeback, if not then it would be worse than the 2010s, because of what I heard, there's nothing good on the radio anymore in 2018. If I were a singer in any band or a solo singer, I would actually revive an old band either Pink Floyd, or any other band from past, So I would help bring back all the 1970s/1980s/1990s/early 2000s nostalgia. So, I will not use any autotune in my music, because autotune is overrated now.

Um the best year like ever creepers I mean creepers you guys are so weird I mean 2012 was the best 1. Because I am not stupid like you guys.2. Because it was like the best year ever.

Um the worst tear like ever creeper I mean creepers you guys are so awesome I mean 2012 was the worst 1 Because I am not stupid like you guys.2 Because it was like the worst year ever

This and 2007 are the best years 2012 was when a bunch of new movies and games were made. 2007 was when I was born.

The year great movies like Yellow Submarine and 2001: A Space Odyssey were released. Check them out if you haven't!

Should be #2. People were happier less greedy they talked socialized. It was better even though I was not born yet:

This is the year my mom was born!

Lol I dunno

The year teenage mutant ninja turtles and lilo & stitch was out. - radon548

This is the worst year. Gregory Peck died, and then my favorite actor, Charles Bronson, died.

The year I was born, and teen titans and finding nemo came out.

I was also born then

Why mention woodstock? What about, umm, THE MOON LANDING

Don't forget the excitement of watching the build up to the moon landing with the earlier Apollo missions in 1969. Also Concords first flight, Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Waters as well as Woodstock. Also the first microchip and ARPANET. We thought science and technology would solve all our problems back then and why not with all this going on? Also the year Star Trek was first shown in the on UK T.V.. Great year to be 11/12 (like me) with the future looking so bright.

The year scooby-doo where are you was born. - radon548

Led Zeppelin's first and second albums, and also Beatles' Abbey Road were released!

The world became an amazing place for once...I was born! And YouTube was created on 2005, so...ya know, I actually HAVE a YouTube channel...Random Pete

This was the best year in the world many good things came out like Doom 3 for the original xbox Quake 4 King Kong the movie etc. - Lordvader3500

Resident evil 4 and I think one of my best year

Avatar the last air bender first aired.

This is one of my best years (Along with 2006, 2010 and 2014) I actually like it Great year in my opinion because my favorite LEGO City sets of Airplane Airport sets came out in that year also my favorite things like New Super Mario Bros. DS was made back in May 15,2006 also the movie Superman Returns was made back in 2006 of June The best year in the whole planet I was just having a very good year I really want to go back to this year I was 5 but until October I was going to be 6 years old this is thousand times better than 2011 and 2015 this year rocks for me it was 11 years ago now were are in 2017 and I'm going to be 17 in October. 2006 rocks the best year on the planet!

Great year for rock music in my opinion, because my favourite album came out that year, One-X, which is from Three Days Grace, and it was also the year Evanescence, another one of my favourite bands, released their album The Open Door.

Can't believe it's been 10 years now...was a great year for me, still remember the Emo and Myspace times and having awesome friends...

Yes I honestly agree the was my favorite year because in preschool I knew my best friend had good times I wish we can go back to this year. This year is the best 10/10 In the whole universe! - Lordvader3500

The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the start of the German reunification - a great year for millions.

Sure was a big year!
Gameboy,
Simpsons,
Berlin wall is down,
Cold war has came to an end,
Nothing majorly terrible here!

The Simpsons first aired

The Simpsons premiered on December 17, 1989

YEAH! The world got hippies, people having sex covered in mud, the summer of love, and some amazing music. - BeatlesFan1964

I was gonna vote for 1969 because of Woodstock, the Beginnings of the Internet, and the moon landing but you just can't beat the summer of love. It's sad that I was born in 2000, I would have loved those times.

Greatest music. Love hippies. Time when people were vastly more connected and having a buffoon like dumpy in the White House was unthinkable

Celtic won the European Cup. First British team to do so. We also won the all five competitions and completed the Quintuple.Over the course of the season, Celtic scored a world record 196 goals in the major competitions they took part in.

Coolest movies ever made - Texas Chainsaw Massacre being 1 of so, so, so many... check it out on imdb. Picasso and Ziggy Stardust died. I was born.

The Dark Side of the Moon. Need I say more?

It is the year cell phone was made.

The Dark Side of the Moon

2013 was NOT the best year ever. 2014 was just a little better than 2013, but 2013 was AWFUL. Lots of games and stuff getting discontinued. Shows becoming a lot worse, UGH what an AWFUL year! - TopTenJackson

2013 was a pretty lousy year. Bombings, terrorists, hurricanes, and even some of my experiences that happened turned it into crap

2013 was my favorite year of my life so far. I was 11 and I'm now 15. I did so many adventurous things that year. I went to Wyoming and South Dakota for 3 weeks in the summer. 5th and 6th grade were amazing. I still played my Xbox 360. And a lot of good songs came out. And Minecraft became very popular.

I understand why a lot of people hated this year (multiple terrorist attacks, hurricanes, discountinued games and T.V. shows... The list goes on)

But this was surprisingly one of the best years of my life! I got my first gaming PC and got hooked to video games, joined countless communities made really nice online friends gained some popularity for many of my creations in different video games like Minecraft servers, Roblox games, garry's mod scp containment mod for the first time ever I felt like I belonged some where! In the middle of the year my grandpa got a serious knee injury whille he was driving to church but that only made me happier cause he then decided to move in with us in our basement so we could take care of him :) and later that year my brother got married. Finally I was at my peak in school got really good grades, was considered the popular kid for the first time in my life and had a good reputation amongst teachers! All in all an amazing year for me and will ...more - Ozamabinladder

My Parents We're Born In That Year - OebotheHeatherlover

Elvis Presley died that year. How was that a good year?

AC/DC released let there be rock - ACDC-

Gerry d was born so was Gayle s may the 4th b wa u

This wasn't the best year for cinema but it was very good. Quentin Tarintino had two movie out. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, Wes Craven brought us Scream, Desperado was considered the most violent movie on earth, Radiohead was rocking and rolling. George Clooney had not collided with the devil to ruin batman in 1997, the internet was made around 1996, Aids was getting treatments, Canada had a complete mix of the 70's 80's and 90's, and the twisted version of the little red ridding hood AKA Freeway, came out. There were so many awesome things that happened this year. The economy was doing great too. I think I was born in the wrong generation, this year was amazing!

Personally, I wish I could've been born this year...

Cartoon Network was getting started with shows like dexter

On that year - PanthersFTWpatriotsFTL

The Super NES launched and Sonic 1 was released. Simple as that. - SuperNESBrony

Best year for music by far. Ten, Nevermind, and so many more. - Songsta41

Ren and Stimpy premiered - STANCAKE

The Greatest Childhood Movie of All Time Came Out in 1991... My Girl. It had Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky. Such a Classic! Also Sonic the Hedgehog Came out that year too!

This year will be better THAN 2017 and 2016! Because I'm going to graduate high school, do my excuse in the summer, and on the month of August they will be no more high school & taking the school bus! So make 2018 beat up 2016 and 2017!

This year has been great for me so far, except for February 14th when there was a shooting less than 15 miles from where I live. Oh and my insomnia hit its height in the last week, which ruined what would have been one of my favorite years. - allamassal

To be honest 2016-2017 was terrible but I have hope that this year will be better - Randomator

Worst year ever

To be honest: I don't see what's the hate about 2015, because this was such a green year for me & my Instagram! This was when I was first famous during spring break in my 9th grade year! During the summer I got my very first summer job & also my time going to the beach in Texas. During the fall which is October, a brawl occurred at my school, I went to fair, & I got a new bed. It's 2017 & it's feels like this year is already better than 2016. - DPS501

I see why people hate this year, terrorism, bombings, shootings, etc. But some of the good things were that our economy was pretty good, and it was a good year for movies, animation, video games, and some songs. There's good and bad to every year, even the year 2000.

What Why people like this year this year is an nightmare god damn 2015 Is worst than any other years.

In my opinion, I understand why people hated this year because of bad things that happened in the world. Like mass shootings, an attack on Paris France, and celebrities like Mayva Collins passing away. Mayva Collins was my favorite teacher that I actually watched her movie ever since she passed away. Man ever since 2015 ended, all I see is negative instead of good comments about this, because I had a great 2015. So if you don't like this year don't say nothing!

You realize this is 1776, the year America was born, not 1976.

This is the year of The Declaration of Independence, Without it we wouldn't be here in the US today. Yet all of you are voting other years because you got to go to DISNEYLAND or got good grades or games and music. Grow up. Be thankfull for this year and how much it helped our country - B1ueNew

Deep 70's! Rock and role! You wouldn't believe how good life was without the internet, and with great music and movies and other great entertainment.

To the other comment: The universe just started. There was no earth to ruin.

Who actually put this here? - DumbFriesNub

This is the worst year ever and it should not be on the list

This was one of the best years for movies. We got Whiplash, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Edge of Tomorrow, and so much more.

My third favorite year still better than 2011 because in 2011 Fourth Grade ugh the worst thing ever this is better than 2012 2016 and 2017 best year ever The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie ever this year rocks! My first favorite year was 2006 second 2010 In my opinion this is the best year! - Lordvader3500
