Title: Album of the Year 1993 - nomination phase
Post by: KevShmev on August 30, 2011, 02:45:17 PM
Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1993; the order does not matter.  If you only like less than 5, list those.  Just no more than 5.
-List the band name first and then the album name.  Like this: Band name - Album name
-If you change your mind, edit your original post.  Do not post them again. 
-Only studio and live albums will be counted; no best of, compilations, etc.
-From this point on, any and all Dream Theater albums cannot be nominated.  Side projects featuring DT members can be.
-Posts that you do not follow these rules will not be counted.

Nomination phase will last two days.

I definitely think it should, especially with an EP that good, but it was released in 1994.

Nobody else is going to vote for my last two picks, if anybody's even heard them, but 1993 is when the 1990s took a huge nose dive for me, so it's unlikely I'll be able to pick anything that lines up with anyone else.

Dangit. That album was tagged as 1993 in my collection, but I thought it was 1994, so I checked wikipedia and only quickly glanced and saw the US release date was 1994, so I left it off.

Ah fuck! This is around when I REALLY started getting into music (I turned 8 that year) so this is tough for me. I can't decide between stuff I listen to more now or stuff that left a huge impression on me when I listened to it back in the day. Okay, leaning towards the latter because many of these albums helped to define me...

Nirvana- In Utero

So funny the perspective.  This was about the time that I stopped getting into music.  I had just graduated from college and got an entry level programming job 4 states away from anyone I knew.  I had no money and could barely afford to eat much less "get into music"   The couple I listed I got later on in life.  :P

Yep, same guy. He sounds amazing on Back on Track. If you're a fan of Rough Cutt's style, you might really like it. He's only seemed to do dribs and drabs since then though, and nothing else I've really been interested in.
Although he's now in King Kobra, and their recent album from this year is a great hard rock album.
