how highly regarded are NIGHTWISH in this forum ?

When I heard Nightwish I thought I was going to vomit. I thought that about Hammerfall once too and thier vocalist sounds more like a chick than most chicks. Sooooo, I my as well check on Nightwish again to see my tastes have changed.
 
i cannot disagree ...kimberly goss is a mutt in the good looks stakes.

tarja in nightwish aint a beauty either...but those cans she has are just maginificent !!one thing she has in common with goss is imho superlative vocal ability though. :p

its refreshing to read posts form members saying just how awesome they are, i had half expected folks to slate nightwish in favour of some shite along the lines of bands with names like "stinking fart" or "decay faeces"..........sort of a la death metal bullshit.

yup...........a very very good well replied to thread. :D
 
I really like Nightwish and I am trying to find some similar bands. Tarja is an amazing singer and their songs are really emotional, IMHO. I think Oceanborn is their best album.
