My two ALL time favourite songs are probably Like You by Evanescence (I warn you from the beginning, the lyrics are really depressive) and Hurricane by 30 Seconds To Mars. Okay, starting off:


 * 30 Seconds To Mars:

Albums: When it comes to albums I gotta say I recommend the first two albums, 30 Seconds To Mars (it's self-titled) and A Beautiful Lie. The third album, This Is War, not so much. When it comes to songs the first two albums have better songs.

Songs: First album: Echelon, Buddha For Mary, Capricorn (A Brand New Name), Fallen, Edge Of The Earth. Second Album: A Beautiful Lie, Was It A Dream, The Story, The Kill, From Yesterday. Third album: Kings & Queens, Hurricane, Stranger In A Strange Land.

And watching the music videos is recommended, cause Jared Leto is hot. lol


 * Evanescence

Okay, this band's my number one in my top 5, I'm practically addicted to any music by them.

To be honest, there isn't one single song I don't like except My Immortal and Call Me When You're Sober.

I'd recommend the WHOLE second album, The Open Door. It's vocally a masterpiece, and the lyrics and the music don't disappoint AT ALL either.

But if I HAD to choose, I'd say: From the album "Origin" (which they don't count as an album though): Lies, Field Of Inncence

From unreleased songs which aren't on albums: Farther Away, Breathe No More.

From the first studio album, Fallen: Everybody's Fool, Imaginary, Bring Me To Life (I wish there wasn't a rapper, without the rap it sounds way more beautiful), Hello, Whisper, My Last Breath

From the second studio album, The Open Door: Lithium, Sweet Sacrifice, The Only One, Lacrymosia, Like You, Snow White Queen.


 * Breaking Benjamin

Okay, I gotta say I loved the WHOLE album Dear Agony. It was very well-made and I probably liked every song. Dear Agony's great too. But if I gotta choose:

From Phobia: Dance With The Devil, Breath, Diary Of Jane.

From Dear Agony: Fade Away, Crawl, Dear Agony, Anthem Of The Angels.

I gave Nirvana a little listen (mainly cause Evanescence covered a song by them and I wanted to listen to the original xD) and I gotta say I really like Heart Shaped Box.

I did give the other albums a listen, but they didn't really make me "WHOAH" from the first moment like the other two made, I plan on trying to listen to them again soon.

RIGHT NOW I am checking out Lacuna Coil, Nightwish and Epica (all three were recommended to me by Cands because she knows my endless love to Evanescence and Mak recommended me Nightwish when I said I was listening to Lacuna Coil on the chat and was surprised by the opera-like voice) and I think they sound great so far too.

Ohh, and tomorrow What You Want by Evanescence will be out and I'm 100% sure that'll be a song worth listening to too (from the previews it sounded AWESOMEEEE.).
