Since when was Coldplay rock? I really don't like Linkin Park at all, but I chose Evanescence. I'm not a huge fan, but they're okay. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned Evanescence is only criticized because Amy's well, a woman. They sound nearly the same as many other popular rock bands (but that's not saying much, considering most popular rock bands are similar in the first place). If Evanescence had a male lead vocalist than many people who don't like them now would like them. Regardless, Amy can sing and there's no denying it.
