I was thinking today, if I could only pick a two year span of music to listen to for the rest of my life, what would it be? That's the big question. No music before this two year span would exist, nor would music after it, naturally. But what should I choose?

I finally narrowed it all down to 2006-2007. For me, this is when music and bands were at their best. The strongest releases were popping out during these years.

My next question is, what's your favorite two year span of music? No need to rush to find an answer, you can take a look at my list of favorites from 2006-2007 if you need ideas.
