Do yourself a favor and listen to some Bauhaus.

My favorite songs:
Stigmata Martyr
Dark Entries
King Volcano
The Spy in the Cab
Rosegarden Funeral of Sores (John Cale song)
Bela Legosi's Dead
Crowds

Most if not all of the bands in this poll existed before the term goth was even used...but I voted Cure.

i was a cure fan when i was younger. mainly due to my sister playing them all the time and hearing it through her bedroom wall. she got to see them when they were at their best too.

I'm not sure if these are all so-called Gothic bands, but here go's.
All about Eve, the mission, sisters of mercy, Bauhaus, Coil, Swans.

dont have a problem with goth people, i just feel sorry for them for having to dress certain way. arent they bored all these years?

Christian Death?Oh my god,this forum will never cease to surprise me.I admit that they were one goth band that i listened to regularly.

porkmarras · 07.19.2006, 05:17 AM

Even though they weren't strictly goth in sound(metal was most certainly an influence).

jon boy · 07.19.2006, 05:23 AM

its over 100 degrees here in berlin and hotter on the trams and trains and yesterday i saw a male gothe in full make up, all in black with a satin jacket on! no wonder they are all so thin.

porkmarras · 07.19.2006, 05:34 AM

I'd say that All About Eve, The Mission, and Sisters of Mercy certainly all fit well into the Goth pigeonhole. Bauhaus predated Goth but got sucked into the genre by the media - they were more a "post-Glam" band. Coil and Swans may share some lyrical concerns with Goth bands, but never in a million years would I include them in the genre.

Goth is more a "style" than a genre, I would say (speaking as one who dabbled with that style for almost three years).

porkmarras · 07.19.2006, 05:44 AM

Last time i've been at the Slimelight i've seen some of the most ridiculous of people.It suits some people but some others just look silly.

sonicl · 07.19.2006, 05:46 AM

I looked silly. You have to have the pale complexion / dark hair thing going on for it to work, and I don't.

Isn't The Cure new wave pop?

porkmarras · 07.19.2006, 06:13 AM
