Tags like this serve a purpose, just like reason in Buddhist thought - a raft you use to cross a river, but abandon when it's time to scale the mountains. :-P

If there weren't any tags, how would Last.fm work?

tags is part of the reason that last.fm works half as good as it does, as much as I hate labeling things, certain sounds can be described certain ways. I am for tags, only if they aren't the main focus of the band.

I dont agree with you ringwraith10 because exit some gothic metal and symphonic metal bands like Northern Kings, Sonata Arctica and Kamelot but that kind of bands play a little bit of power metal music and that why their music style didnt soud very symphonic or gothic

I don't really like the description saying that "Female fronted metal" mainly refers to "gothic metal and symphonic metal", since there are a lot of other types of female fronted metal bands represented here.

nDroae, I definitely agree with you about those promo photos. That can get really annoying.

I have no problem with the term "fronted." It doesn't mean "led" to me. A vocalist typically stands at the front of a band, making them the frontperson. I do have a problem with idiotic promo photos blurring out the other band members in the background, as in Almost Famous. Which was about an all-male band. >_>

Also, HeavenDuff -- you make a very good point about the misconception of a "front" member of a band. Most people probably don't really think about the fact that the rest of the band has just as much importance in the band, and in some cases the singer isn't even as involved as other members. I'm a little sad that you turned your good, well thought out comment into a sexist remark at the end, though (The part abut needing a sexy girl to sell the music). I also agree with fischziege, though -- I use this tag because it helps me keep track of the different ways that bands sound -- female voices as opposed to male voices.
