Recommended Songs:
Bring Me To Life
Lithium
Imaginary

Recommended album: Fallen (2003)


Note:
The most famous band from gothic ball. The first album Fallen has been really masterpiece, every song has something good, but the second album The Open Door has fallen into very worse rating: half songs is not rock, the some from the rock songs are about something worse.

The good songs are:
Lithium
Sweet Sacrifice

The worse, but it can be:
Call Me When You’re Sober
Weight of the World
The Only One
All That I’m Living For
