A rather quirky, authentic, band/singer. She sings about all the things she's not.
Fronted by Marina Diamandis, hence the name.

A powerful female-fronted metal band.
Strongly recommended.

A gothic/"alternative" metal band, who I know from their days of opening for The Gathering.
They were really great, but like their peers they slid downhill. Andrea Ferro ruins pretty much every song he's in, and I've always wished him completely removed from the band.

They could alternately be called metal or "alternative rock", whatever the fuck that means.
My favourite songs are more ambient/atmospheric or focus strongly on Anneke van Giersbergen's strong vocals.
Also, Marjolein Kooijman is hot as all hell, but slouches.

She's done some spectacular covers. She's also hot as all hell, and I wish her videos were higher quality.

Music has some notes on my taste, which apply to Trance.
I have a particular love of female vocal progressive trance. It's lighthearted and romantic. I've been listening to this style and sub-style of music for a while now. I intend to keep listening, and I like to share the things I love. Isn't that what love is? If you like my curating, then you're in for a treat.

I was first introduced to Shakira through Whenever, Wherever (2001 song), via the video, and really loved it. I hunted through my resources and found that she had been around for quite some time and a lot of her music was in Spanish (Españoles). Many thanks to that anonymous person somewhere in South America who had an excellent collection which I could build on.
Having lost my fear of "foreign" music through my appreciation for Lacuna Coil (Italian) and later for Vintersorg (Swedish), I fell in love with her voice even when not in English.
A strange aside.. for some reason a song or two really rung a bell for me.. as if I had heard them before somewhere. Nada es facil ("Inevitable", 1998 - Dónde Están Los Ladrones? #05) did that for me. Weird.
I also bumped into a couple of other artists by the name of "Shakira".. go figure. =)
