Nightwish - This is one of my favorite Gothic Metal bands if not the favorite. First time I've actually cared to listen their album is when my brother bought "Tales from the Elvenpath" (pretty late, I know), I just couldn't believe that anyone had such a voice as Sharon den Adel but Tarja was even better. Since then I have every one of their albums, videos and live performances. Shame though that Tarja left the band, Anette Olzon isn't bad but nothing compared to Tarja.

Within Temptation - I've been listening to this band before they've even become mega famous, I was just enchanted by the voice of Sharon den Adel the vocalist. I have every album they've released so far and I must say that through all this years they still haven't disappointed me.

Evanescence - Before releasing the first full-length album called Fallen they used to be a Christian Rock Band. After that it was quite obvious that they're going in a completely different direction which proved to be a major success. Ben Moody the co-founder of this band left Evanescence few months after the release of their first album and because of it Amy Lee (vocalist) took charge of this band and she did an excellent job if I may say so, although in my opinion Ben was a better songwriter. Fallen is the first album I bought and ever since I've fallen in love with this band, well, in all honesty solely because of Amy Lee, she's a hell of a singer.
