Top 10 Best Years in History

Good year. But I'm nitpicking. Bad endings for sports championships. (No one likes the Astros, Penguins, Patriots, or Warriors) By the way I'm MrLH If you remember me. Sep. 3 2023, 119 days to go.

This year has been a rollercoaster ride for many people. But, we should not forget the amazing things that have happened this year. We have seen the rise of new technologies and innovations, as well as new leaders and role models. This year has been a great one for many reasons.

2017 is the best year because it is filled with new opportunities and breakthroughs in all fields - from politics to technology to science.

I was 16, at highschool, almost adult but still I could have been careless, not thinking bout nothing, only crushes, music, parties, meetings with friends, studying for tests night before'em. I miss this, my life was very happy, but I think the peak of my happiness came in 2017, now we have 2019, I'm 18 and I have to start thinking about making money, working, University, paying bills and all the stuff that absorbes adult people. I'm just sad that times went by so fast... I always thought that adulthood=death! I just began adult a few months ago, I hope there are a lot of amazing moments that will happen to me still, even better than these in 2017

There's really nothing I can say negatively about this year. Best year of my life so far. Everything was just simpler in my opinion. After the disappointment and frustrating year of 2016, 2017 was when my life gotten better. I went to a better school, and made better friends, and had less chaotic classes. Summer was much more enjoyable.

My cousins visited, played on console a lot. A lot of enjoyable content that came out in 2017, before Fornite was a trend. Roblox was at the end of it's prime, but was still amazing. I can go on and on. Best year of my of my life. Hope there is a year as good or even better than this year -Denistyrant

It was the most beautiful year, parties and loyal friends, and there were no stupid ideas spread socially. Everyone was fun and interesting, and it was a year in which we witnessed many developments and the emergence of touch devices and beautiful shows

I'm listing stuff that came out each year to help you vote.
Some movies we got in 2010 were Inception, How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek 4, Megamind, Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2, Despicable Me and the BBC show Sherlock Holmes. The show Adventure Time first started that year too. Some anime that started were Kuragehime, High School of the Dead, Angel Beats and Tatami Galaxy.
Some games we got that year were Starcraft 2, Alan Wake, Limbo, Fallout New Vegas, Happy Wheels, Amnesia, Super Meatboy, Alien Hominid HD, Halo Reach, Red Dead Redemption and CoD Black Ops.

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.

This year was awesome. I got a PS3, and beat Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in ten days, and loved the multiplayer all year. Call of Duty Black Ops came out and I played the multiplayer everyday for seventy-four days. I loved this year because it was basically the gaming year. My 10th birthday was pretty cool, I got a lot of cash, and Black Ops. This year was just great.

I'm listing anything popular that came out each year to help you decide which year was best.
Some movies that came out in 2000 were Emperor's New Groove, X-Men, Unbreakable, Cast Away and Brother Where Art Though.
The first Pokemon movie came out that year too. Some other anime that started that year were Inuyasha, Hajime no Ippo, Yu-Gi-Ho and Fooly Cooly aka FLCL.
Some games we got in 2000 were Majora's Mask, Diablo 2, Counter-strike and Paper Mario.

The year of the dragon. More specifically, the year of the golden dragon (search it up if you don't know what that last part is). And it is the start of a new millenia. I feel so special to be born on this year. Other than that, things were good in 2000. It is way better than 1999.

Well me in 2023, I remember that day anime was popular cosplaying, vocaloid was still in mainstream, and also the emo scenes at the mall, furries, gamings etc. I was only 12-13 year old and I really miss those days. Late 2000s to early 2010s were fun days for me.

This year was a really good one for me. I was 9 years old at the time. Back then, YouTube seemed to be just right, not too old and not too modern. I also remember some songs like Gangnam Style that were extremely popular towards the end of the year. Overall, it was one of the best years of my life, I'd give it a 9/10.

Ahhh yes, 2012! This was my favorite year right next to 2011. A great school year for me, I spent a lot of time with my family, and this was also a good year for music! Sure my sister was in hospital with a rare disease in this year, but she survived! I've got to thank 2012 for everything it has done for me and it will remain in the 3rd millennium history books forever!

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

But surprisingly, this was one of the best years of my life! I got my first gaming PC and became hooked on video games. I joined countless communities, made really nice online friends, and gained some popularity for many of my creations in different video games like Minecraft servers, Roblox games, and Garry's Mod SCP Containment Mod. For the first time ever, I felt like I belonged somewhere!

In the middle of the year, my grandpa had a serious knee injury while driving to church. But that only made me happier because 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, achieving really good grades. I was considered the popular kid for the first time in my life and had a good reputation among teachers! All in ...more

I miss being a child, not worrying about much. Waiting on the corner of the street for the ice cream van to come around! It was the best!

Here's some stuff that came out this year:
Movies: Iron Man 3, Thor Dark World, Monsters University, Croods, The Wolverine, Fast & Furious 6, Man of Steel, Frozen and Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs 2.

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.

This is the year that everything that I got interest started. Interest on the Sonic series(a great 20th anniversary gift for a then newcomer who still loves the franchise to this very day),I had a great 5th birthday party,a good teacher on school that I still on my school until I graduate and more.

Best year ever I had more fun my girlfriend and I had more romantic dates. She and I also had a really really good friend who later fell out of our life in 2013. We miss her but back then she was in our life but this year was amazing my girlfriend who is now my fiancee. I love this year so much I look at my photos of 2011 and remember all the dates with my girlfriend who became my fiancee this year of 2018. But still in my opinon 2011 thumps every other year in my life.

2010- I was 9 and my friend showed me the game The Sims. This summer I started to playing it and in continues till now in 2020, 10 years after that. With the same friend I for the first time ice-skated at the beggining of the year. It was still the time when the winters lasted in their natural honoured time.

2011- definitely one of the best time of my life. Music was decent- comeback of JLo, Rihanna, Britney, Lady Gaga, Katy were everywhere.

2012- for me, the end of the world really came at the end of 2012. The normal mentality, life-style and cool music have died. Still, it was the time when I was riding on my bike with our friends through the city in the hot spring and summer. It was cool time, I miss these Times.

2013- many sad things happened to me this year, even if I was only 12. There were cool events though- my mother came back from Italy after 9 years. Cool games came out these year- The Last Of Us, Tomb Raider, Beyond: 2 Souls…

2014- I've made ...more

Best year ever for me. I met my girlfriend. I traveled the world. Best marks in school ever. I practiced tennis really hard and successful. And everyone around me was also really happy. Everything was so nice for me in 2011. I like almost every year except 2013.

2015 was the best year for me personally. I had the best school year ever (late 5th grade, which was AMAZING, and early 6th grade). I became better at making friends, and music didn't completely suck (unlike most music from 2016 to the present). As for school, I had a terrific fifth grade year. I competed in their junior olympics against the district, I went to a camp for a field trip (it was AMAZINGLY fun), and I made tons of friends who I haven't seen since elementary school graduation (I was the only kid in the grade who didn't go to the same middle school, that was the only bad thing of 2015). Sixth grade was also cool, but that went in to 2016. Overall, 2015 was the best year for me personally.

2015 was a great year. I remember my first grade class so vividly. Everything was so hopeful and there was a great balance of technology and just going outside.

This year is my favorite year. I don't know why but I like how the number it looks and I also had a some good things happened in this year. So I see how most people hated this year because there was a lot of bad things happened this year in entire world, like there was a mass shootings everywhere, Satoru Iwata and the wrestlers, Dusty Rhodes and Roddy Piper were passed away, and there was a Paris Attack. So it's really disappointing how people claims that 2015 is the worst year.

So even if you dislike my comment, that's fine. But there are some people who had a good time and liked this year, like me. So you need to be accepted even if you hate this year.

I am very disappointed that this year had so many hate, it was one of my favorite years! I see how most people don't like this year, because there were a lot of bad things happening this year in the world! Such as mass shootings, Satoru Iwata, the wrestlers such as Dusty Rhodes and Roddy Piper died, and there was a terrorist attack in Paris. So in my opinion 2015 wasn't the best year in the world, but it was a great year for me, because there are people who had a great time and liked this year like me!

I liked 2021 so far, I had a great summer and a great school year, however, the only negative of this year for me was my father's death in September, This is clearly not the best year of my life, but 2021 is SOOOO many times better than the huge disgrace of a year that is 2020.

The year that I came back on track! This is also the year that I got interest on anime,MLP,and streaming,which later on I got Disney Plus.

A great 15th anniversary gift!

The best year in 2020s in retrospect, with Covid restrictions loosening, Euro 2020 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 finally being held and peace still in Ukraine. Although Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, Russia flexed its muscles on Ukraine border and we lost Prince Philip and two anti-apartheid fighters Desmond Tutu and Frederik de Klerk.

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!

2007 and 2008 are the years that I got good memories. Sometime I got Flashbacks back from those years and I almost cried, I past so much good times with my friends outside, now they are gone ( Drugs, dissapear, move away, talks with differents peoples ). I hope time inventor was created and move back to this year 2007 and 2008!

I was born in December 30, 1999, my favorite years were 2007-2012, except for 2009. So, I'd say (2013) was when I noticed things were starting to suck. 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 And 2017 were crap and this year has nothing really exciting going on, 2020 might be great though

It was a great year. The Berlin Wall fell, giving East Europeans the freedom to go to West Europe and vice versa, pop culture was great, and the Simpsons first aired (and it was at its best). I wish I was born in 1989.

And for those of you who think that this year sucked just because Taylor Swift was born, grow up! She may have come to the world, but at the time, we did not know she would end up being a terrible pop singer she is today.

This was a very important year and a lot of good stuff happened. Why is 1945 all the way down at #56? One of the worst and most deadliest wars ever ended that year!

Fall of the Berlin Wall. Wave of Democratic Revolutions and reforms in Europe leading to the collapse of the Soviet Bloc. Truly an amazing year.

1989 was beneficial because the Berlin Wall came down, the riots in China stopped, and the world was starting to be prosperous again.

My peak happiness year. Where I lived, my childhood was happy, the days were long and warm, and the music was amazing. (Particularly Pumpin Blood by NONONO). I really wish I could go back. It was so full of optimism too.

One of my favorite years I've lived. I especially loved collecting Angry Birds Go Telepods and winning an origami boat race.

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!

Best year ever in my opinion. Best year for sports, best year for music and it was a great year for video games. And also I had so much fun on that year. I really want to go back there.

Here's some stuff that came out this year:

Movies: Avatar, Half-Blood Prince, Ice Age: Dawn of Dinosaurs, Up, Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs, Redline, and the 4th Fast & Furious movie.

Shows/anime: Fairy Tail, Monogatari, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Heaven's Lost Property, and K-on.

Games: Minecraft, Left 4 Dead 2, CoD: MW 2, Halo ODST, Plants vs. Zombies, and Doodle Jumper.

Also, the infamous legend of "Slenderman" first appeared this year as an entry to a Photoshop contest, although the name "Slenderman" wasn't given to it until the game adaptation came out in 2012. The Marble Hornets actually started their whole web-video series about the "Slenderman" (previously called "The Operator") in that same year.

If I missed anything for this year, feel free to reply to them here.

I got to give 2009 some credit here. It is very underrated and I'm pretty sure some of you agree. To be honest with y'all, compared to 2019, 2009 was the better year music wise and of course life was simpler. Just to give 2009 credit, I'm putting this up here.

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...

I loved 2009 I was 4 years old I loved the Nickelodeon Disney television shows. Most of the music on the radio in 09, was amazing unlike today's music.

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.

Well its kinda good and the rest of it was bad because I peed in my pants a lot and it was the embarrassing moment of my life and I was only in kindergartent at that time.

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

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

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.

This has to be the best year. It is interesting how on all of these 'opinion' sites the younger generation choose only those years that they remember and ignore anything that actually happened? Do they still teach history in schools?

The pinnacle of human scientific achievement, the moon landing.
The pinnacle of human artistic/musical achievement, Woodstock.
Its all been downhill from there.

The moon landing happened on my birthday, except I'm 12. I care more about Abbey Road, Easy Rider, Woodstock, and Scooby-Doo.

This year was worst year in my life that I've gone through a lot BUT I admit that it was a good year in general. 2019 was before the chaos happened in 2020, you know: COVID-19.

This year was great overall! It was the last good year I had! (I'm writing this in 2022) It was an artistic year for Film & TV, and I got friends, and did activities with them. The 2020-2022 era was bad, because of the pandemic, my friends changing interest and stop hanging out with me, and everyone I liked to hang out with became TikTokers. I hate the 2020-2022 era so bad!

Listing stuff that came out each year to help people vote.
In 2019, some movies we got were Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame, Toy Story 4, X-Men: Phoenix, HTTYD Hidden World and Rise of Skywalker. The anime Demon Slayer started that year, as well as Helpful Fox Senko-san.
Games we got that year were FNAF Help Wanted, Dota Underlords, Seiko Shadows Die Twice and Showdown Bandit.

By far my best year. before this it was 2017 but now it is this. I had the best school year ever during 7th grade and made many friends we were like a family our school and the teachers. had a amazing basketball team. but 8th grade came and sucked we lost 6 of the 8 kids from our basketball team and all but 3 of our entire friend group lost all our teachers and our coach. but if I look back on 7th grade it was amazing so 2019 was a success.

The best year in terms of music, fashion (you can't lie it was iconic) the uprising of the galaxy trend and the first season of stranger things things!

The best year for YouTube content. Back when edgy, alternative, commentary channels ruled the site and were promoted: LeafyIsHere, Pyrocynical, GradeAUnderA, FilthyFrank, iDubbbz, Keemstar, h3h3, NFKRZ, etc.
Before the 'Adpocalypse' effectively destroyed advertising on YouTube, lessening freedom on the type of content uploaded to the platform.

Dude, 2016 is so underrated like jeez man. This year was the best year for Memes, Everything was so interesting like the Election, No Man's Sky, Youtube Drama. Just Jeez, The events that where "bad" in 2016 Honestly made the Year Better.

2017 was a pretty good year also, but 2016 is so low I had to vote.

Here's the things that came out this year:
Movies: Captain America Civil War, Doctor Strange, Finding Dory, Moana, X-Men Apocalypse, Ice Age Collision Course and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Shows/Anime: Mob Psycho 100, My Hero Academia, Yuri on Ice, Re-Zero, Erased, Orange, Silent Voice, Your Name and This Corner of the World.

The first Vtuber Kizuna AI debuted that year and started the whole vtuber craze.

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!

The year I was born! There were also lots of great T.V. shows out there, great games, great music, and lots of other great stuff! I think this should be number 1 (although if time travel ever existed, I might go back to 2000 and see what it was like).

I was born, Eminem Show was released, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Spiderman's debut and much more.

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

Here's the stuff that came out this year:
Movies: Spiderman 2, the Incredibles, Shrek 2, National Treasure and Napoleon Dynamite.
Show/Anime: Lost, Bleach, Monster, Elfen Lied, Paranoia Agent, Howls Moving Castle, the Land Promised to Us, Girls Bravo and the first Precure series.

This is also the year that Jetix first aired, giving a unique channel-within-a-channel experience to TV.

This was the best year of my life. I was 9 and the world was my oyster. Sure I was a SPED being systematically oppressed but boy was it fun.

T.V. was way better than it is today. Like the cartoons where so lit! Not even the cartoons. But just it all.

Games where way better to.

My favorite game of all time was released this year, called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A lot of good rap music like College Dropout, Encore, Madvillainy, etc.

My Updated Opinion:

1999: Born

2000-2003: Good

2004-2008: My Favorite Years! (Nothing happened)

2009: Sucked A Lot

2010: Was Bad too

2011-2012: They were okay!

2013: Bad Year, I had a very mean and strict teacher

2014: Uh...

2015: Uh...

2016: Sucked

2017: what Happened!

Ukrainian war, the death of Technoblade and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Elizabeth part might be controversial), and Putin threatening to start a nuclear war...

Yeah very good year.

So far this year has been WAY better than 2020 and 2021.

Usually at the start of January something bad always happens at the start of the 2020s. This year took a different turn and actually did GOOD

Go '22!

A very memorable year. So many things had happened. If I had an ability to time travel, I'll surely time travel in the year 2022.

Taylor swift came out with the album midnights!

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.

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!

Best year is 06. Great parties, just turned 21. Best era of WWE and wrestling itself. Barely any responsibilities other than working and paying bills.

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...

Here are the things that came out this year:
Movies: Iron Man, Dark Knight, Wall-E, Kung-Fu Panda, Madagascar 2 and Bolt.
Shows/anime: Breaking Bad, Ben 10 Alien Force, Soul Eater, Black Butler, Michiko & Hatchin, Toradora and Skip Beat.
Games: Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, GTA 4, Castle Crashers, Mirrors Edge, Riddle School 3, Final Ninja and the first flash game of Meatboy.

Did I miss anything? Reply with them below.

I don't remember 2008 at all, but for my life this year was good, but for others it wasn't because of the stock market crash.

2008 was the best year of my entire life! I was at my skinniest and I was just having a very good year!

Pretty mediocre year, but it was not as bad as 2009. I was 8 years old in 2008.

1999 was the greatest year in history. I mean, everyone loved that year and are nostalgic to it. That year was part of the golden era. That era ranged from the years 1995 to 2006. Everything was at its peak. Music was so great, some movies and TV shows were great, and it was also probably the greatest year ever for sports. If I had a time travel machine, I would absolutely love to live in that year.

Here's some things that came out this year:
Movies: Stars Wars Phantom of Menace, Iron Giant, Toy Story 2 and Sixth Sense.
Shows/anime: One Piece, Digimon, Big O, Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade and Great Teacher Onizuka.
Games: Quake III Arena, Half Life Opposing Force as well as various other Half Life mods including HL: Counter Strike.

The year I was born in and the year the Euro was put into circulation. My soul goes out to Europe particularly the UK because of Brexit. Hope they can figure it out. By the way, I'm a South African.

The year the world got Tom Cruise playing a sex guru. Probably the best performance of his career, I might add.

Toy Story was released this year, which was not only the first Pixar film released in theaters, but it was also the first ever wholly computer generated film. Microsoft also made history with the release of Windows 95, and the dot-com bubble started. Likewise, the DVD was invented.

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!

Camaro all I need to say...
