I love Love Spirals Downward, but I never thought of them as goth. I still love Dead Can Dance and don't think of them as goth.

I guess goth for me was about mascara. The Cure.

bauhaus, yes - but maybe 'Dancing'
Um, joy division, anyone? If there's a band the goth kids all like, this is it. New Dawn Fades, at a guess.
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Hollow Eyes.
17 Seconds era Cure.
Nick Cave.
The Mission.

Please, can we leave FoTN out of it, just for once? The whole goth cowboy thing, I just can't get on board.

the Damned after Machine Gun Ettiquette (although "Plan 9 Channel 7" sorta fits)

also, borderline experimental stuff like Coil and Current 93

I was gonna post about this, having just picked it up a couple weeks ago.

1. Every Day Is Halloween- Ministry
2. Desire (Come and Get It)- Gene Loves Gezebel
3. With a Hip- Ech & The Bunnymen
4. Lucretia My Reflection- Alkaline Trio
5. She Sells Sanctuary- The Cult
6. She's in Parties- Bauhaus
7. One Hundred Years- The Cure
8. Love Like Blood- Killing Joke
9. VX Gas Attack- Skinny Puppy
10. Cities in Dust- Siouxsie & The Banshees
11. It Could Be Sunshine- Love & Rockets
12. The Wretched- NIN
13. Murderous- Nitzer Ebb
14. She's Lost Control- Joy Division
15. Don't Know How Much- Atmosphere

This is so much better of a play list, those suicide girls are teaching our youth well. I have been wanting to play Killing Joke’s Nightime for about two months now. It has been coming up quite a bit as of late. I only have it on vinyl and to actually have the desire to play something like the Cult’s Love might just make me hook up that record player again.

Except a bunch of those songs should be filed under "Industrial", no?

I think its time for me to accept that "Goth" is pretty much uncategorizable as a music genre.

Yes, they are. And us old farts as well.



Huh? How come that didn't work?

How's about what used to get called death rock...but much of what i think the kids lump in with goth nowadays...

45 grave
christian death
samhain
tsol
misfits
catholic discipline

someone got it.

Goth or whatever you call it was around in the late 70s/early 80s so it has grown up. Echo was never goth but neither was the Mission UK, they were much closer to U2.

Probably because of the question mark.

I kinda want to hear that Alkaline Trio cover of Lucretia.
