Okay you can start posting your lists.

Here is the deal.

Post your top 15 lists in this thread. You may post a list of less than 15 but no more than 15, only the first 15 will count. If a list is posted that is not in any paticular order, it will not count.

Please post your lists like in this format or close to it to make it easier for me when I an compilling the final overall list.

example:

1. Strapping Young Lad - The New Black
2. In Flames - Come Clarity
3. Slayer - Christ Illusions


and so on and so forth..... Lists that don't follow this format will stil be counted. Its just to make things easier for me. Oh, ya and NO TIES!!!!!

PLEASE ONLY POST ONE LIST!!!!

If you would like to change your list just edit your origional list instead of posting another one otherwise the first list will only be counted. Last year there was well over 100 lists I had to go through and it is near imposible for me to go back and change any stats from an origional list.

Make sure that all albums on your list were infact released in 2006 and are not a re-release. Anything that falls under that is fair game, EPs, LPs, Compilations etc....
