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.

Why? Y2K could have actually happened in this year. - JoeBoi

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

This was the peak of everything

Best Year ever
WWE ruthless aggression is born
Brock Lesnar And John Cena Debuts
2002 world cup
Music was different then that new s***
Justin Bieber weren't famous
It was all different
Nintendo Gamecube was released
The Rock VS Hollywood Hulk Hogan Wrestlemania X8
Beginning of the competition between the Gamecube vs OG Xbox and vs PS2
Best Game for Gamecube in 2002: Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Memories
And plus Music was the best on that year
Spidermab was released on that year and so did Harry potter and the Chamber of secrets Star was 2 Attack of the clones and 8 mile was released on that year
THIS YEARS WAS A MIND BLOWING YEAR FOR ME for the win laugh out loud

This was the best year ever I was born in 2002 too!

Great year:
John Cena
Wrestlemania X8
No Bieber
World Cup
The Eminem Show & 8 Mile
Many more - Derpman45

It makes me feel good to see 2002 near the top, not just because it was the year I was born in, but the fact that it seemed like a great year in general. Even though most people were still recovering from 9/11, there were a lot of neat stuff that happened that year. Great movies, great T.V. shows, great video games, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network were at their peak in quality, you name it! - TopTenJackson

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 Miku Hatsune and Vocaloid was born. This year was legendary

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

It’s obvious

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.

What? The shooting at Columbine and the Y2K scare happened this year, not very good. - JoeBoi

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

The world ended!

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

Such good memories I had in 2017

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!

Does anybody remember the assassination?!

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

Woodstock and Moon Landing! - JoeBoi

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.

Lord of he Rings: Return of the King was released. - jezza0

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

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...

The Wii came out this year, didn't it? - Pokemonfan10

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.

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

I get so emotional when I think of how much I'd love to go back to this year.

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.

Rick and morty premered this year

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!

I'm not really sure how 2018 is worse than the previous years, if you look back at the early 2010s, I was not really a fan of the pop music at the time, and the worst events happened in the mid 2010s and 2017 such as the airport bombings in Belgium but the only thing that has happened in 2018 was school shootings such as Stoneman Douglas and natural disasters like Michael, yes I feel bad, but just because some people died or celebrities does not make it a bad year and I have seen less worse events this year than the other 2010s. - Call

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

great year

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

America was born into the world

The USA declared their independence from Britain. - JoeBoi

I was born this year! - Spiritualsavedboy

There were no humans to ruin the planet back then.

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

Best year ever!

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

I didn’t like 2014 at first, but I’m starting to miss it due to how good that year was.

Women gained the right to vote in 1920. - anonygirl

It just seemed chill ya know? Women were being more confident and the music was GREAT.

Jim Morrison died that year. How was that year good?

Disney World opened in 71 - Gamecubesarecool193

The birth of Bangladesh.

Aaaahhh! The year Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory was released! - FuffleyandPeetah

The year Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi was released.

The year Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back was released

Great songs came that year and the remake of Scarface aired

The Outsiders Movie was released

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!

This year I born

A bunch of things I say

It's my lucky year

I Borned that year

The year that spongebob was at it's best, who's with me?

Start of Beatlemania - westofohio

Civil right act was passed. how is this not higher up. the top 10 have stupidly unimportant reasons

The video game industry is saved, Back to the Future was awesome.

And best of all Mario! He saved all the video games who could not like the Super Mario Bros. And all his friends

The NES was released in North America which completely saved the crash. Also, Nintendo is amazing.

Golden girls came out... need to say more?

Pretty much the best year when it comes to video games, you've got: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Tomb Raider III, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon, Half-Life, StarCraft, Grim Fandango, Sonic Adventure, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, F-Zero X, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, MediEvil, Parasite Eve and many more.

Movie-wise, you've got: Saving Private Ryan, The Truman Show, The Big Lebowski, There's Something About Mary, A Bug's Life, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Rushmore, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Pleasantville, Mulan and many more.

Music-wise, you've got: Fastball: ...more

After almost 20 years I have never felt the energy and the atmosphere that I felt that year. Now 2017 is reminding me a little again so let see 2018!

Culturally great year- so many good films and great music. Definitely should be higher on this list

I hate this year because Godzilla 1998 came out.

Didn't Pokemon come out in 1996?

Pokemon is one of the stupidest trends ever.

The Oklahoma City bombing happened! - JoeBoi

Toy story - PanthersFTWpatriotsFTL

I was born that year

I was born this year!

Reservoir Dogs. - BeatlesFan1964

Litteraly the best year for music ever.

This was my year. Everything I did was very memorable, and all my sports went well. (Mainly Federer winning the French Open and Wimbledon. )

Good movies, like Inglourious Basterds. This year was the best year for me because so much great things has happened! Got my video game console for the first time and Assassin's Creed II came out...

This year was great for me! I went to Disney World, and that was when I was I in Kindergarten. But the only bad thing about this year was me getting bullied on the bus - FuffleyandPeetah

My brother was born. That's it. - PanthersFTWpatriotsFTL

My life in the 2010's so far
2010- amazing 9/10
2011- awesome 8/10
2012- a little underrated year 9/10
2013- mediocre, not as awful as 2014 but the only bad thing was 3nd grade 5/10
2014- awful because too many bad things were happening like my grandmother died, my mom was mean to me, so many terrible trends, adventure time was no longer good, I didn't get to see Jessica anymore, and I had too many bad school days. The only things that I miss in 2014 are my vacations and watching watch mojo videos 2/10
2015- bad at first but got better later on 7/10
2016- bad 4/10
2017- best year ever! Way too underrated year
2018- decent 7/10
2019- so far both good and bad things are going on. So I have to say that this year is okay 6/10 (SO FAR)

In my opinion, although the world is getting better, not every single individuals are. Both bad and good happen at the same time. Brexit, Trump, and yellow vest protest. On the other hand, Steve Pinker noted that crime is falling, life expectancy is rising and poverty is only about 10% of the population much much less than only 20, or 30 years ago.

I hope so, it's my graduation year!

Ranking years of the 2010's from best to worst so far:
1.2017
2.2012
3.2010
4.2011
5.2018
6.2015
7.2019 (SO FAR! )
8.2013
9.2016
10.2014

Justin BIEBER was born so it's a bad year haha

Everyone saying this year sucks over 1 person. Grow up, people. - TeamRocket747

Kurt Cobain died this year. And Justin Bieber was born. - JoeBoi

Everyone knows the 1920s were actually the best years ever. People just vote for the other ones because they were born that year. This website is not really accurate because the voters aren't making good choices.

Mickey mouse came out. Even though I don't like Mickey mouse. - PanthersFTWpatriotsFTL

Good year for Irish coin collectors. - computerfan0
