In 2011, Evanescence rose again, ending a four-year hiatus with a chart-topping new album, a pair of booming singles and a triumphant tour. So as the year draws to a close and MTV reveals our picks for the Best of 2011, we're reaching out to a host of acts who dominated and defined the past 12 months to get their take on the year in music. And, really, there are few that both dominated and defined quite like Evanescence did.

While Evanescence and their lead singer, Amy Lee, continue to find mainstream success (their most recent album was number one on the charts when it was released in October), they are a band that is maligned in the same way as other polished heavy bands like Creed and Nickelback, though we aren't entirely certain why. No doubt goths despise the pseudo-style that Lee and bandmates put on display and their music is pretty poppy for a heavy band, but whatever. We figure there is room for everyone.
So, in honor of her big three-oh, we give a list of the six reasons we like Amy Lee. Happy birthday, girl! As we begin to wrap up 2011, it’s hard to dispute that it was quite a year for Amy Lee and Evanescence. The band announced the return of guitarist Troy McLawhorn, released their new self-titled album in October that soared right to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, and headed out on the road playing in front of sold out crowds night after night.
Evanescence recently named ‘My Heart Is Broken’ as the second single from their latest release, with a new video on the way. Today (Dec. 13), Lee celebrates her 30th birthday, and in her honor, we’ve chosen 10 of our favorite Evanescence songs. Happy Birthday, Amy Lee! Thanks to evanescencewebsite.com
