Decent list. I'm a Sisters guy. The clubs I used to go to did a fair trade in Nitzer Ebb, Skinny Puppy, Danielle Dax, Nick Cave, KMFDM, NIN, Joy Division, Soft Cell, The The and a bunch of others. I saw Rosetta Stone live in a tiny venue many years ago, so good to see them make the list.

For me, Joy Division is the first goth band ever, without them even being aware that they were goth. The most incredible and legendary concert of my life was Lords of the New Church in '88 at the Markthalle in Hamburg (it's not the one that you can find on KZread). The concert ended in a mass brawl and the fans continued after the concert by destroying the toilets. It was all in the newspaper the next day.

Whoever you are, you've made my day. Thank you.

Interesting how almost all the male fronted bands from the late 90s onwards have an Eldritch/McCoy impersonator on vocals. Good to see one of my favourites (Alice) up there though. I recall being a fan of The Mission back in the day, but can't for the life of my understand why when I hear their stuff now. Still like Sisters though. First and Last and Always is a cracking album.

Luckily for me I managed to skirt the edges of goth without becoming fully immersed. Those that fell into the goth hole never really managed to climb out. My favourite memory of the scene was going to see the Sisters of Mercy at Brighton Top Rank in the mid 80s. I didn’t know the band used a drum machine and whilst the crowd was relatively quiet before the main event, I decided to ask the question out loud “WHERE’S THE DRUMKIT?” I never lived that down… Derision all round. That was a bloody brilliant venue for us. We saw a lot of great bands there - The Cult, The Cramps, Killing Joke, The Cure, more that I can’t remember now. Echo & The Bunnymen was a favourite band of mine in the early 80s but I never saw them as goth really. Anyway, The Sisters of Mercy “First and Last and Always” remains one of my most favourite vinyl albums from the era, along with Love by The Cult and Nighttime by Killing Joke. But before we knew it something new & exciting was happening in Manchester and bang it kicked off big-time and acid came along. Followed by several years of not being able to remember very much….. Still here!

I now have about 30 new bands to investigate. Thank you so much! Can't wait.

Hoping to see The Sisters next weekend

​@@chameleon47 Agree and disagree! For the most of the HEADBANGERS were bands like Type O Negative and especially HIM never ever METAL bands, HIM was even POP music for many METALOS! Both bands just made music in the GOTHIC VIBE using METAL arrangements. Type O Negative was partly even PUNK HARDCORE / GOTHIC, and HIM was more GOTHIC-POP / HARD ROCK (I mean, watching that from the point of view of HEAVY METAL person). The same story is about PARADISE LOST, for some people it is just METAL band for another persons - it is pure GOTHIC band. PARADISE LOST did as well albums in different genres from DOOM / DEATH / GOTHIC until SYNTH POP / BRIT ROCK. The METAL community itself is very wide and different and even "contrary", and what common people call METAL, isn`t METAL at all. I can give you examples: Ozzy Osbourne or Mötley Crüe / Iron Maiden or Helloween / Metallica or Megadeth / Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park / Paradise Lost or Moonspell / Slayer or Kreator / Dimmu Borgir or Cradle Of Filth / Falkenbach or Bathory / The Exploited or The Misfits / Nightwish or Leaves’ Eyes / Heaven Shall Burn or Jinjer / Gwar or Lordi = all those bands people call often with just one word METAL, but in the reality - all that music is very different and it sounds very different from each other.

@@harald-bosh Metal is a "big tent" genre, with many, many subgenres. Gothic Rock is NOT. Goth music consists of FIVE styles: post-punk, gothic rock, death rock, ethereal wave and darkwave. That's it. Metal is not among them. Metal has its own lineage which is entirely separate from gothic rock. All metal can be traced back to Black Sabbath. (except Nu-metal which is really not metal, because it is literally a fusion of six different genres). What "most of the headbangers" think is irrelevant. Type O played over 530 shows, including at Ozzfest, Heavy Metal 2008, and Gods of Metal 2007. They played with Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden and a ton of other metal bands, many of which you listed. Paradise Lost is a gothic metal/doom metal band, just like Type O was. HIM was "love metal"- I think Ville's coined phrase is appropriate. Or they fit in "alternative/hard rock", but NOT gothic rock. Metalheads can dislike HIM, but it does not change that stylistically, their music fell within the "metal" genre. Goths can love Type O, but this does not make Type O a gothic rock band. People's opinions and feelings about a band has no effect upon what genre a band's music falls under.

But if you see the whole thing "like a movement", or "like a consumer product" = HIM and Type O were as well "GOTHIC". And many the same listeners back days had: THE CURE, SISTERS OF MERCY, THE CULT, Siouxsie and the Banshees, DEPECHE MODE, NINE INCH NAILS, MINISTRY, HIM, TYPE O NEGATIVE or even SMASHING PUMPKINS, THE CRANBERRIES and GARBAGE in one CD, Vinyl or TAPES collection ... considering all that bands (for themselves) as a "GOTHIC". One genre can to evolve as well and change in its own sound. Today, those typically 80s GOTHIC ROCK is actually not present anymore, even the "underground bands" is sounding in other ways. If that "gothic audience" from the 80s (where I was a child and teenager, I am now 47) could be young again now-a-days, maybe for them GOTHIC MUSIC would be: Lebanon Hanover, Boy Harsher or Molchat Doma. But for many "old classic gothics" such new current bands have nothing to do with "GOTHIC". Do you understand what I mean? After 35 years we have now other "people" (generation) with another mentality, and our current life is as well "other life". The VIBE and the TIME has changed (that happens every 10 years actually)!

​@@harald-bosh Yes, I understand what you mean. And you are incorrect on a few things. Other people with another mentality are also incorrect. NIN, and Ministry are absolutely not goth- in no way, shape or form. Nor are The Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage or The Cranberries. Depeche Mode is not goth either, but goths tend to like them. Goths also tend to like The Smiths, but this does not make them goth, either. It does not matter if the same people who like goth music also like these bands. Listener opinion has no effect upon what is within a genre, and "goth" is a MUSIC-BASED SUBCULTURE- based on the goth music genre. Lebanon Hanover and Boy Harsher are goth, and I still don't know with Molchat Doma. Have not listened to enough of it to know. HIM and Type O were metal bands. Type O was gothic METAL, and HIM was just labeled "gothic" because they wore makeup and so looked "goth" to ignorant people, just like Marilyn Manson did and so got mislabeled as "goth" (which is how NiN came to be similarly miscategorized). No amount of or change in a "movement" makes non-goth music change genre. It just makes the bulk of said "movement" ignorant schmucks who trashed the scene and nearly killed it, as more clubs kept shifting over to industrial because rivetheads had infiltrated them and demanded it. If a large amount of metalheads all start liking new wave, would new wave become metal? No. Same goes for goth, or any other music genre or subculture. Most of the "goth" subculture today are actually industrialists/rivetheads and metalheads, who mistakenly think their "dark" music is goth, as well as thinking themselves to be. This does not make them so. I don't want to listen to synth pop/darkwave, but thanks. Since you were cool though, I will try to check it out. I seriously gave up on "goth" clubs though in the early 2000s because they'd play stuff like Rob Zombie, or just endless darkwave, where the vocalists all sound like Eldritch copies and the songs just blur together due to their lack of originality.

Great stuff.

Bela Lugosi is definitely regarded as goth, the definitive goth song for many. Goth was originally part of a broader post punk scene, so a lot of early goth records fit both labels quite easily.

The Cult🖤

Thank you, for digging up the hidden talent. Spooky seasons upon us.

This is a great youtube vid. It hits home to me how everyone is different. Which I have known for years but refused to accept it. When i was younger (30 years ago) i couldn't understand how my mates at home, and my college friends, didnt like Lagartija Nick. I've never known anyone that likes Lagartija Nick as much as me, even at goth clubs. And you've got it at number 20. Im dead chuffed. Plus you've got Alice at 5. And Spellbound, which is perfect and goth, as opposed to my Siouxsie choice, Red Light. I'm picking goth songs as I hear them myself, which I think means they should emanate desolation, but have a perfect melody, so for example She Sells Sanctuary is one of my favourite songs but I dont class it as goth. In fact i dont class any Cult, or the rest of the Death Cults, as goth. I love that youve got Resurrection Joe in there, because I thought it had been lost basically. I don't reckon its goth though. Sorry for waffling.

Top 3 goth songs (in my humble opinion): Marian. Red Light. Bela Lugosi's Dead. In no order.

Rad video. FYI, decades are written with the apostrophe before the number, denoting the 19 or 20 part. So the '80s, '90s, '00s.

Having a particular mood or particular lyrics does NOT make "goth rock."

The rest were almost entirely metal bands, with a few industrial and punk bands mixed in. Gothic Rock bands do not play at Heavy Metal shows, nor do they usually play with metal bands. As for people in the goth rock scene where you are being into it, this does not make the band goth. A band's genre does not change based upon who listens to it. I am goth, and Type O Negative is my favourite METAL band, and on of my favourite bands, but my liking them does not make them a gothic rock band, anymore than wearing black or loving spaghetti makes black or spaghetti goth.

Dang. And I thought you just played the Sisters of Mercy catalog and you're set.

If the algorithm HAS to send me here after KMFDM’s ‘No Meat. No Man.’ Then I HAVE to return the favor.

So what country is next on your list? Hoping for Sweden myself.

If you enjoy Swedish stuff, then maybe this track would suit you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4eG3Jt8drqWdcY.html Wish you a great day!

Interesting list, debatable like any other, with not too much of that "metal" thingie.Nice to see some obscure band and to have some love for The Damned in their goff period (though I don't know if they endorsed the tag or not.) I would have liked some of the great Children on Stun, but you can't have it all…

Unfortunately, there are the worst "metal thingies" included like HIM and 69 Eyes... and I'm all about few drops of gothic metal here and there, but damn, have some taste! Excluding Paradise Lost but including that trash is a crime. Plus, there was tons of great underground goth metal from the 90s that is totally legit goth stuff.

I think it's fair to say that there was nothing on that list that didn't belong. Have added a few songs from this list to my playlist.

The Mission. I grew up with that as my theme LMAO But I would like to know where all the bands are NOWadays and what they look like and what they're all doing LMAO

Well, The Mission are still around, on and off...recently finished a long tour. Almost original line-up back except for Mick Brown...Craig Adams is bald, Simon Hinkler's a bit fatter and Mr. Hussey has gone grey. Such is life 🤣

The Editors seem to have listened to a lot of goth records.

Going to Balham and the angel supporting The Almighty next month.

Rozz Williams is hard underrepresented

She looked up gothic dance videos from the 1980s as inspiration for the dance.

Karl Hyde first formed Freur than Underworld, they made two Albums in Sisters of Mercy-Style, love them until today. (And everything Karl Hyde made)
