Music that has nothing to do with God. I listen to Christian music which has plenty of lyrics about God. With secular music its mostly about drugs, death, sex, and other stuff.

Well then Nightwish isn't secular.

They're kinda like a mix between Linkin Park and Evanescence, sort like Alternative mixed with Gothic, but with an opera twist. The lead singer is a chick who sang opera, but she was told that she wasn't good enough so she joined the band Nightwish and so doing became more famous than she ever would have otherwise.

Their lyrics aren't offensive in the least.

None of Nightwish's albums are rated and none of their lyrics are explicit.
And I'd also say comparing them to main stream groups like Linkin park or evanescence is not a good idea since their music is on a totally different level. I noticed the term "Synphonic metal" used by their record company.
It's a very good mix of melodics, classical instruments, opera-like lead vocal and metal riffs and rythm. A great choice for those who like melodic songs.

I have the Once album and I must say it's the best album I've ever bought :)
Planning on buying Century Child next.

It wasn't really meant to be a comparison, just to give the idea what they might sound like. Probably not very accurate, but it's all I could think of.

To be honest the only thing that pisses me off with Nightwish is that they don't release all songs on normal albums - the ones which are available everywhere.

I can't however buy here an album that would contain Where Were You Last Night or Over The Hills And Far Away, imo two of their best songs.

I've got plenty of albums in mp3 and I'm probably gonna buy all eventually. Listening to Nightwish on mp3 and computer speakers is a waste of good music.

I love Over The Hills And Far Away!

OK, to be honest, it's their only song I've ever heard. Their CDs aren't available here in Namibia, I just happen to have the music video for Over The Hills on my notebook.

So they have. Rock comes a close second, though. OK, not VERY close, but still. I see here aren't many pop fans around.

They are a bit alike, but I agree that they should be shown as 2 seperate genres of music.

My favourite will ALWAYS be Linkin Park.

Any of you heard of a band called Velve? They're a South African band, Alternative genre. Some good songs.

Both those groups (Linkin Park and Evanesance) are secular groups. Although Evanescance was Christian at one time they went secular to get more money.

Linkin Park may not sing about God or whatever, but they definitely DO NOT sing about drugs, sex or death.

I think, besides their excellent music, the one thing which really sets them apart from other groups that make the same kind of music is the fact that they don't use profanity. And I'm not talking about Collision Course, I mean their own stuff.
