Have to include some songs by a band described by some Goths as "Too Gothic"!?

This is all from early on. They aren't so good later on, changes in band members.

Lacuna Coil gets a bad wrap, but IMO they are one of the more solid mainstream bands out there.

I really dig their cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence"

They do a cool cover of "Stars" as well (which was made by Dubstar who were kind of electronic).

And I figure some of Depeche Mode's stuff can be classified as Goth.

Quite often somebody pipes up with a "so n so sux" opinion after which a legion of sheep join in to parrot their disapproval. We see it happen in movies where good films are slated by the herd or where bad films are talked up like it was the Second Coming.

As for as the bad wrap, I usually subscribe to the f*** the critics philosophy unless a group is truly diabolically useless.
