Favoutite Rock and Gothic music

Music is one of my favourite things. and I like listening to music, watching musicals and going to the concerts. Moreover I also play the guitar, so music is an essential part of my life. But most of all I prefer Rock and Gothic music with gentler sounds which is played by Nightwish, Evanescence, Within Temptation, Lumen and Aria.
Guitars are used a lot in rock music that I enjoy. Sometimes it also includes symphony orchestra and some unusual instruments such as organ or harp so this music is active, magic and with has pleasant harmony.
Besides that, I really enjoy meaningful texts lyrics.  I think that exactly Rock and Gothic music have intellectual (spiritual?) directions value and can inspire and affect me in a positive way.
For the first time I heard this music for the first time when my friend and I decided to change exchange our music players. He said that it would great if we listened to each other's favourite groups of each other. I used to prefer pop music but I was am so pleased that I changed my taste in music.
