Album of the Year 1999 - nomination phase
« on: September 22, 2011, 08:21:07 AM »
Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1999; 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.

Nominations:

The Flower Kings - Flower Power
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Opeth - Still Life
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream
Pet Shop Boys - Nightlife

Didn't have room for Stupid Dream, but I think a lot of people will nominate it, so I don't feel that bad about it.
These 5 are gold, so can't really remove them. :/

Turned into a good year. Quality over quantity again.

Royal Hunt- Fear (their best)
Bob Catley- Legends
Virgin Steele- The House Of Atreus Part 1 -needed a bigger budget but a great album anyway
Manowar- hell On Stage live - All the epics!
Ratt- Ratt (always love Warren Di Martini's tone but it rules here)

Was a hard choise in the end to leave some of these great albums out.

Liquid Tension Experiment- 2 (half of this is awesome-the written half rather than the jammed half)
Vinnie Moore- The Maze
Westworld- ST
Ten- Spellbound
Sonata Arctica- Ecliptica
Primal Fear- Jaws of death
Nocturnal Rites- Sacred Talisman

Not a lot in my catalog from 1999.  None of these look like they'll make it to Round 2, but here's my tastes for that year.

Luca Turilli - Kings of the Nordic Twilight
LTE - LTE 2
Spock's Beard - Day For Night
Vanden Plas - Far Off Grace
Rhapsody - Symphony of Enchanted Lands

Damn.... where's the love for Spock's Beard????

Opeth - Still Life
Katatonia - Tonight's Decision
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream
Moonspell - The Butterfly Effect
Samael - Eternal

The last two are extremely underrated. (Not just here, anywhere at all.)

It was a great year, though quite obviously I didn't know any of these bands at that time.
