Author Topic: In Retrospect - Album of the Year 2006 - Nomination Phase (Read 3849 times)

Dr. DTVT · « **on:** April 24, 2011, 10:48:52 PM »

Rules n' such:

Post your top 5 albums from 2006, order doesn't matter.
You may list fewer if you would like / don't know enough of the albums.
If you list runners up, list them UNDER your five nominations
List the band name first, uniformity helps me greatly in compiling lists
If you change your mind, just edit your post. Don't repost, or quote your old post. Just fix it.
OST's with a single artist and live albums are allowed. Best of albums and compilations are not.
Posts that can't follow these simple rules will not be counted.

Nomination phase will last at least 3 days.

Another VERY strong year. I had 15 albums picked out initially

My albums (alphabetical order):

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
Amorphis - Eclipse
Frost* - Milliontown
Dream Theater - Score
Spock's Beard - Spock's Beard

I really didn't want to vote for a live album, but I've listened to that album way too much to deny it a spot.
