I understand that rock music is mostly populated by guys, and it's easier to compare minorities within anything. But what I would like to know is, why is Evanescence brought up any time I hear people talking about Halestorm? It's usually along the lines of that Halestorm is a knockoff of Evanescence, or that Evanescence is better, neither of which I agree with. What I would like compared is Evanescence with The Pretenders, and Halestorm with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. To me, those are the closer matches, in terms of vocal style at least. What does everybody else think? Oh, and I didn't mention Paramore or Flyleaf because I don't really know any of their songs.
