Yeah, man, do I love D&D. I love pretty much every system I've played (except for the Buffy/Angel Unisystem that a friend of mine really enjoys...blargh), but there's nothin' like getting back to your roots with D&D, no matter what edition. In all fairness, I haven't PLAYED every edition, but I feel I know myself well enough to figure I'd enjoy myself, so long as I have a good group to join in.
 


Becuase it NEVER gets the love...

2nd Edition was awesome. It's blue tinged Easley/Elmore illustrated heyday represented some of the most imaginative explosion of story in D&D.

2nd Ed is also awesome. It gave us the following:
Planescape
Ravenloft
Dark Sun
Spelljammer

How can it not be awesome?

Spellfire was the best game ever put to cards. The simplistic core mechanic was easily grasped by children and belied the underlying complexity of the enormous power creep metaphor for the cold war arms race and use of repeatedly recycled artwork to criticize the conformity of McCarthyism. It was a work of sheer brilliance to be enjoyed by the hobbyist gamer and appreciated by the discriminating connoisseur.

Now please buy this tupperware tub of Spellfire cards, I need the storage space for my California Raisins.
