Yes, Nightwish is great... I love it
About Evanescence, they're ok, but their lyrics are too depressive.... just look at the music titles, from "Going Under" to "Bring me to Life" they all are talking about being at the botton (I don't even mention "Torniquet" which I think has one of their best tunes, but the lyrics even say something about "wanting to die".... ). So my advice is: don't listen to them if you are really feeling depressed
(sorry to bump this one up, looks it has been a long time since someone wrote something here
