<-- HUGE Nightwish fan. Been listening to them for a few years before they got popular around here (for some reason, everyone I know 'discovered' them after the Once album was released).
I saw Nightwish in concert last May up in Hartford. They put on an amazing show, and I still think they're fantastic, but Anette's voice took some getting used to. I do miss Tarja. But they are definitely up there as one of my favorite bands! Do you listen to Within Temptation at all? Or Doro? I can link some stuff...
Here's a few of mine (really my top three favorite bands here). I could expand this twenty-fold without hesitation, but I'll just keep it at this for now. Sonata Arctica alone has about 40 different songs I consider favorites that I just didn't feel I had the room to include here.
Nightwish - Walking in the Air ( Youtube | Lyrics )
They played this at the concert. A fantastic song from one of their earlier albums.
Nightwish - Angels Fall First ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Amazing song!
Nightwish - Away ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Another amazing song!!
Nightwish - The Escapist ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Newer, but not on the normal Dark Passion Play album.
Nightwish - Over the Hills and Far Away ( Youtube | Lyrics )
This was probably the song that got me into the band. I love the drums! Sonata Arctica has covered this as well.
Symphony X - The Sacrifice ( Youtube | Lyrics )
One of the best newer songs by Symphony X, and works well with some of Eva's backhistory, so I may weave a video out of this one at some point as well.
Symphony X - Paradise Lost ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Awesome song - I particularly like the chorus. You'll be hearing this one soon, if you listen to the podcast.
Symphony X - Communion and the Oracle ( Youtube | Lyrics )
One of their older songs, a little more relaxed. Incidentally, the cover art on the front/back of this album (V) is by and far my favorite on any album!
Symphony X - A Fool's Paradise ( Youtube | Lyrics )
This is an older song as well, and my favorite up until the Paradise Lost album came out. Now I just can't decide!
Symphony X - The Odyssey ( Youtube | Lyrics )
A 24+ minute song about Odysseus! Greek (and Norse) mythology fascinates me. I particularly like the last 5 minutes or so of this song (Youtube only covers this part - essentially Victory put in musical form)
Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Oceans ( Youtube | Lyrics )
These guys are probably my favorite band of the three. This song is beautiful.
Sonata Arctica - Fly with the Black Swan ( Youtube | Lyrics )
This one has kind of a unique sound to it, and for a very long time was my all-time favorite song.
Sonata Arctica - Gravenimage ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Another great Sonata Arctica song.
Sonata Arctica - Two Minds, One Soul ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Pretty much Dyterium's theme song.
Sonata Arctica - In the Dark ( Youtube | Lyrics )
One of the songs off their newest album - The Days of Grays! Obviously also a great song or it wouldn't be here. lol
...and last but certainly not least...
Sonata Arctica - Paid in Full ( Youtube | Lyrics )
Song has a great deal of personal meaning to me, and got me through a particularly tough time in my life. If you read the lyrics as the song progresses, you'll probably discern why...
Quote:Nightwish - Eva ( Youtube Lyrics included )This song is actually where I finally came up with the name for this character from. Given the lyrics, you'll come to find out in time that it's a very fitting song... :approve:
Hearing this I always get the picture of Lucy out of Elfen Lied in my mind and it nearly makes me cry...
Quote:Nightwish - Last of the Wilds ( Youtube )And my other favorite song on the album, I've begun grabbing FFXIV footage to make a video set to this song, actually. I'm surprised to see it up here.
One of my two favourite instrumentals... If you like e-guitar, violin and that fancy irish type of a bagpipe (forgot the name...).
