Album of the Year 1993 - nomination phase
« 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.

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.
