Doodo's Musical Selections (Formerly Evanescence's Third Album)
I'm in a rock mood now, I'm sick of Aqua and Avril Lavigne and I've moved onto this kind of stuff for now...

The band has always reminded me of Within Temptation. (2011 new CD)

Never did listen to their second one, as I had discovered Within Temptation by then (highly recommend them if you like Evanescence), and I liked the fact that I could listen to them around other people without blustering out an explanation.
EDIT: Oop, ya beat me to it. Nice choice, sir.
I've got to listen to them. I think I heard one or two of their songs and liked them.
I've known them a while but the connection to their music didn't develop until recently. Got anymore suggestions? Paramore is ok but it's way more punk than gothic rock. They're also drowning in mainstream...
I almost forgot about FlyLeaf, a little bit heavier but it's still good.

Still Within Temptation has a different feel to it that I like more, and I still think Evanescence has a unique sound.
As for suggestions, I've got a couple more: Lacuna Coil, although they lack the symphonic sound, are amazing.
If you want something less conventional, Akira Yamaoka and Mary McGlynn. It's a shame that Yamaoka is done with Silent Hill, because when those two get together for a soundtrack session, it's pure aural magic. Again, no symphonics, but as far as hard rock with a female vocalist goes, it's easily up there with the best.
On the somewhat softer side, Emilie Autumn has been topping my playlist recently. Like Evanescence, the Hot Topic fanbase gives her a bad rep, but I'm confident in saying that she's one of the most talented current musicians out there.
Whoa, Emilie Autumn is different.
So much to look into now though, like the band history, etc etc...
Within Temptation: Great band, the first 2 albums (Enter (+ the EP The Dance), Mother Earth) are real classics. Everything after "The Silent Force" got a little wors but I could still listen to it with joy.
Nightwish: They have a great series of albums. I don't like their first record "Angels Fall First" and their last album with Tarja "Once" too much though. The ones between those two (Oceanborn, Wishmaster, Century Child, [Over The Hills And Far Away]) are really recommendable if you like symphonic metal.
Emilie Autumn: Really good music on her Opheliac-album. I cannot get into the rest of her records though.
As for me, the new Iron Maiden album is pretty great.
Single attached for your audio-visual pleasure
Epica's another band you can try if you're looking for similar stuff.
Epica is like Nightwish, hit and miss. Lacuna Coil is pretty good though.
Some other suggestions if you go that way:
Theatres Des Vampires, Inkubbbus Sukkubus, Adema (That's more Punk though), Ayreon, Cradle of Filth, Kidneythieves, Leaves' Eyes.
Personally I prefer going more electrical than metal, and more dark than said bands above. If you too you might want to check out bands like:
Life Cried, Suicide Commando, FGFC820, The Retrosic, X-Fusion.
Well, enough to tear upon for a while I guess... what exactly do you like so much about this style of music?
In fact, there ya go. Last.FM, Within Temptation channel. It's a gold mine for what you're looking for. It'd make more sense to use the Evanescence channel, but it tends to be filled with random nu-metal.
So, Pandora, but available outside of the US, eh? Nice.
Reminds me of a modern Pat Benatar

So far the best song I've found on CD two...

To be honest even though I've enjoyed Gothic rock, metal, I still appreciate some POP music.

Very different types of music, for different days.
Talking about that, heard their duet "Broken"?
It's pretty good, I like that it's mellow. Its got feeling.
I heard recently Linking Park and they lost it, and Korn lost it almost immediatly, just heard a song from Flyleaf and seems cool.
But if you like Nickleback definitely check out Theory of a Deadman.
As for TDG- check out Adema or Seether.
I bought 3 out of 4 Within Temptation albums and I'm loving it. I'd recommend them. They got a new album coming out soon.
I could suggest other bands but they'd be out of genre. There's a few bands I like, but I'm not a music buff.
Be sure to hunt down their singles and EPs, too. They've got a ton of amazing songs that aren't on their LPs.
Oh well...
Call me When You're Sober is one of my favorite songs. I listen to the whole album on occasion but It just felt too similar to me. I didn't have enough variety.
Which some of the other CD's are IMO (and Within Temptation all the time, which is why I prefer Evanescence above them).
I like metal the most like Sonata Arctica, Epica and Disturbed.
I also like hard rock like Lordi.
^^^ Yep, Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I'm thinking about trying some pop again soon but I really do like my harder music. I grew darker because of women...:p I've just learned to basically say forg@#$ it.
It's funny because I was always a pop fan, 80s music guy, fun stupid music kind of guy and now all the sudden I'm into "headbanger" music.
LOL, one of my favorite Aqua songs is actually their new Christmas song though.
Evascence is actually kind of wearing thin off of me and I'm moving more towards this orchestra rock type of thing, or something with a Within Temptation spirit and sound to it.
It's really sort of scary, in one day I went from POP music, Avril Lavigne, to metal...
I think Within Temptation must really be a cult of some sort after all
And I do listen to Within Temptation my self, I love The Howling, What have you Done, Stand my Ground, Angels, and It's the Fear.
Haha, that's exactly what happened to me... I never paid any mind to orchestral rock until WT, and now it's my preferred genre. Of course, they haven't been "metal" in years, and only sometimes "rock", but it's still a far cry from my old tastes. Now I can hardly stand most generic radio rock, when it used to be all I listened to.
Confession: My formative years were spent listening to pop. Not the good stuff that's considered classic now. I'm talking boy band type pop. I still look back to my childhood with shame. The day a time machine is invented, I'm going back and giving myself my current music collection (transferred to tape, of course ).
