I love within temptation but can't listen to the music much cause it gives me headaches. But if you like them you might try listening to some nightwish.

When you all mention Nightwish, are you talking old Tarja-Nightwish, or new Annette-Nightwish? I don't really care for either that much, but I'd take Tarja over Annette any day for vocals.

I never really got into Nightwish myself. I have tried to listen to them more then once, with both lead singers, and I don't really like them.

I kind of have the same problem. Neither singer sings in the style I prefer for that sort of music. I never liked Epica or Edenbridge for the same reason. They sing in the same operatic style as Tarja.

I haven't really listened to Edenbridge, but I can't get into Epica either myself.

her album from this year was really good

I've only heard a couple of songs, but I really liked those.

I love their song "Stand My Ground" a whole lot.
Heard of them from Nightwish. Either on pandora or youtube. I'm not so big on having a favorite band so much as knowing what bands play songs I like. Miley Cyrus has many haters but I like a majority of her songs. The Climb being my all time favorite though. But anyways...yeah I can't think of anything else.

I don't know if I have a favorite band, and I did not mean to mislead people to thinking that Within Temptation is my favorite. Actually, Perfect Circle or Tool would probably qualify better...or Rage Against the Machine. Still, I love their music.

I mean Tarja-Nightwish... Anette's voice can't carry out the Nightwish music, in most cases, especially live. Only song I like from Anette-Nightwish is Escapist.

I like lower voices, so I prefer Nightwish over Within Temptation.
From sort of gothic singers, maybe Emilie Autumn could be something some people here would enjoy. She sings in many different styles... Like, Enchanted album and Opheliac are two COMPLETELY different things.

Hmm, I will check her out. I am always interested in listening to different kinds of music. Within Temptation is, by no means, the only example of what I listen to. If you look at my early post you will see as much. I lean more towards heavy metal, but just found Within Temptation to be really good.

I think Anette should quit Nightwish and join Pain permanently. I like her better in their Follow Me video than anything I've heard from her in Nightwish.

It could be cause you barely here her there and the male vocalist's voice takes over completely most of the time. And where there are her lines, she does it completely different style and it's not so much of carrying out the music thing. She has medium voice and can toughen up some to do a song or two pretty good, but in the long run, Nightwish isn't the thing for her.
But it is pretty cool song. -bookmarks-

Yeah, she sounds better when there's another singer to support her, to me, rather than as the star of the show.

And, amusingly, that's one of the only Pain songs I've ever heard, but I keep coming back to it. I should check out the rest of their stuff sometime.
