KevShmev · « **on:** September 15, 2011, 10:05:55 AM »

Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1998; 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.

Didn't you read the rules? Changing from the default text size voids a nomination.

I've seen others do it? If they really won't count it, I don't care really, I highly doubt Death or Converge will win anyways.

EDIT: Mizzl did it...like right above me, not as big but he changed it. Am I to be the one singled out?

Durg · « **Reply #21 on:** September 15, 2011, 01:15:04 PM »

Man. I don't know what I was doing in 1998 because I only own one album from that year and I bought this one only a couple years ago.

Yeah, Electrified is pretty good. Shame is easily top 3 PC69 material. Love those Axel Rudi Pell, Edguy and Bob Catley records too.

I am 99% sure he was just messing with you, but on the off 1% chance that he wasn't, that does not void a nomination.

Now, not using the proper band name - album format, as explicitly stated in the rules, possibly could...
