Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1990; 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.

I'm not posting this to be prickish. I just don't want you to miss out on having your nominations count so you probably should make it a list of five so your post won't be in vain.

Death Angel - Act III  (for anyone who hasn't heard this...I'd highly recommend it, especially if you like Metallica, anthrax, testament or Megadeth.  These guys are EXTREMELY talented, if you haven't heard Act III I'd highly recommend Seeminly enless Time, Room with a View, Discontinued, hell....anything off this album...LOL)

  Forgot Death Angel. Definitely worth a honorable mention at least

This. How did I forget Death Angel?!

Your media library reeks of Aquanet and you're givin Opeth shit? 

  I would do the same.

My list will be as follows:

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare
Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom
Extreme - Pornograffiti
King's X - Faith Hope Love
Warrant - Cherry Pie

Honorable mention to Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker.

Also, I would like to point out that I somehow COMPLETELY neglected to mention my love for the Smithereens' 11 album in the 1989 nomination phase, despite the fact that I'd probably have been the only vote for it.  No idea what I was thinking.

Black Crowes- Shake your Money Maker
Fish- Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors
Damn Yankees- Damn Yankees

I get what you are saying, but when someone posts like that, with --- separating albums like that, the assumption here is that the albums below it are honorable mentions, and everything above it counts (assuming it is five or less).

Anyway, the nomination phase is over, and the results will be posted shortly.
