| Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL. |

Lovely voices...
Corinna Fugate has captured my heart. Such a lovely voice!
Some of her songs are self-injury related though...be safe.
Cold
Amore eternally
Swing Low
So beaautiful.
And Emma Shapplin is worth listening to as well. Too lazy to post links. Go on YouTube. Try Discovering Yourself, La Notte Etterna and Spente Le Strelle.

Sharon den Adel has a beautiful voice--that really shows in Within Temptation's "Heart of Everything" album; she used such a broad range of tones--it was captivating to say the least.
I also like Sarah Brightman's voice, especially when she sang "Winter In July" on the "La Luna" album; she has a lovely whispery-type tone, and it adds a very ethereal air to all her songs. Not too mention she's wonderful with opera.
Lastly, I'd say Enya. Her voice has always succeeded to enrapture me, and all her songs pull me into a world of fantasy. Especially her song "Caribbean Blue", where that fantasy/feel-good type tone of her voice is easily distinguishable. I also love hearing her sing in Irish-Gaelic--March of the Celts was a great example of that.

Mark Burgess of the Chameleons has got to be my favorite. So expressive, childlike, and beautiful. Like an otherworldly Robert Smith.
I also vastly admire Carl McCoy of Fields of the Nephilim, for his deep, tortured and broken laments, paired with his unforgettable pseudo-growling.

Kirk Brandon of Theatre of Hate. Very throaty and he has a wide range. Very expressive.
Also, Athan Moralis of Fahrenheit 451. Real smooth and expressive.
And Jello Biafra (lookin' at you here Stormtrooper. Hah). His voice is so wiggly and hilarious. I love it.

Right now, I'm on a huge Tom Waits kick. I think his voice is absolutely wonderful, and compliments his style so well.

Ehh they dumped her and replaced her with some Swedish girl... ...I think her name is Anette or something. I remember that, beacause my psychiatrist who ordered people to hold me down and drug me, the one my parents hate, is named Anette. Or perhaps it was something very similar. I barely remember the new girl's voice, but Tarja does have a pretty strong voice, though Nightwish music is a bit too cute and slow for my style.

They don't sound like ANY goth band, as they are not goth in any way or shape.

I definately disagree.
If you say Nightwish is not goth in some fashion
you deny most of Gothic metal bands, which are tired to goth..
Seeing how death rock and gothic rock are not the only two gothic genres of music but you're smart enough to know that.
They do possess gothic traits.

I do hope you're being sarcastic. Gothic metal has nothing to do with gothic rock, just like death rock has nothing to do with death metal. Two genres with similar names aren't necessarily related.

Oh no. I meant nothing of the sort.
I said gothic rock and death rock are not the only
two gothic genres of music. Gothic metal is indeed
related to the gothic community just like gothic rock.
Two different genres which are both still goth.

The term 'Gothic' was pushed through the metal scene by Paradise Lost with the release of their eponymous second album. In this album the band started the process of getting more melodic & goth rock inspired sound.Despite that gothic metal isn't goth rock with metal based composition as many people assume, most goth metal acts are inspired by bands within the gothic rock/darkwave genres.However Gothic metal actually got its name from the imagery, themes within the lyrics and the atmospherics it uses as well as the impact from goth subculture. While both genres use the term "gothic" in reference to the foreboding sense of doom popularized by the Gothic novel, gothic rock developed out of punk rock in the late 1970s and, aside from some heavier bands like later Christian Death, has no connection to heavy metal. Anyway such debates may be cleared with the fact that the term Gothic has a conceptual side much larger and darker than the current use in the present times.
Nightwish happens to apply to that. Just sayin'.

You need to get your facts straight. Just about every "gothic metal" band, PL included, do not cite gothic rock or darkwave as influences. Also, you hear no similarities to the Sisters, Bauhaus, etc. in their music. If you do, then you must be deaf. "Gothic metal" came directly out of doom metal, and the only thing that sets it apart from the former is female vocals. The genre got its name from Paradise Lost's album "Gothic".

I love Ian Astbury's voice! Some people find it terrible, but it's incredibly unique.

The basis of my argument was not that gothic rock and metal
were related but that they both reside in the "Gothic community".

Dang. I should've known something like this would happen.
Sekhmet,
I agree, Tarja has a beautiful and powerful voice.
L'oiseau
Sharon den Adel is comparable to an altered mix between Emma Shapplin and Amy Lee, with quite a positive result.
And MIRON, hi-7 to Klaus Nomi. He's totally awesome.
