Album of the Year 1996 - nomination phase
« on: September 07, 2011, 01:04:39 PM »
Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1996; 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.

No, it was actually never on any of their albums, but released as part of a soundtrack album. (Interestingly, the B-sides were all taken from other TMBG albums, not the show.)
