While it's certainly healthy and part of the American Spirit to debate likes and dislikes, I believe that Evanescence does not 'suck', they are not 'lame' and they certainly don't 'fuckin blow'. Perhaps you don't like their particular form of music or maybe you just don't like the fact that they're famous and popular amongst those aged 11-17 (which is a choice demographic as far as music goes). Whatever the reason is, one should recognize their legitimacy as a band and as makers of music.
Since when does it require talent to be successful??This band is popular ONLY because it is pushed by a MAJOR record label and they have backing. Forced on MTV everyday what 11-17 year old doesnt buy whatever MTV force feeds them? Just listen to their guitar riffs or background music, its not BAD. Its just uninspired, rehashed, and lame. Ill admit that the SINGER has talent. But lets face it, those band members could(and probably should be) replaced by anyone and no one would notice.

Im just tired of bands like this with generic ass songs getting blasted with praise and record offers while ORIGINAL bands like Muse and Lecuna Coil (who are pretty decent BTW satanic, not something i would probably BUY but talented and you can HEAR it in ALL aspects of the songs) go on without publicity, major label backing, and decent management and end up slipping through the cracks unnoticed.

And more great music goes unheard and unwanted.....
