Listen to Finntroll <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Loads of good bands... Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Cure, Interpol (acually a band who didn't peak back in the 20:th sencury ), Metallica, Dire Straits, Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet Underground (don't own any records with them, but my brother does), Deus (see previous), and more and more and more and more and more...
Sorry but except for Metallica, what you named is Goth-rock, rock and alt-rock.
Frank would agree with me when I say that the singer of Sonata Arctica has an amazingly powerful and emotional voice.
