Great I don't know, I usually reserve great for innovators etc. Even if one of my favorite bands in the world I can recognize the fact that they aren't the be all end all and why people don't like them.
Knowing how much Ken likes them makes me want to burn their CD's though........
Hahaha! You're turd!

I first heard them in Korea, I used to always buy random metal CDs because the BX had worthless CDs like Savage Garden (which I sadly own, actually). My first Nightwish album was AFF, I'd never heard of them, didn't know what to expect, but when "Elvenpath" kicked in my jaw hit the floor! I'd heard plently of female-fronted bands before, even band like After Forever with soprano vocalists, but never had I heard anything quite like Nightwish.
Yeah, I think they're a great band and I do think they're innovators because while some bands have tried to copy them since they sort of got "big," they're still very unique and they're definitely the best at what they do. So, yeah, for me they're great.
