    Who is into Goth? Who is out of Goth? Favourite Goth bands?

    As a starter, here is one of my favourite Goth numbers at the moment:

    Wrath of the Raven’s Dance / Eel Marsh House

    I’ve always been a fan of Bauhaus…they are about the only band I really like that I would say were a goth band.

    ….I also like The Cure and Siouxsie & the Banshees (who I wouldn’t personally class as ‘goth’ but both had their gothy periods I suppose in the mid 80’s)

    I guess that’s more Gothic Punk though, I have no idea what that that music you just posted is!!!

    Not bad, sounds like heavy Bowie. Early Sisters of Mercy?

    I love a lot of Goth/Post-punk, like Bauhaus, Cure (marginal goth), Siouxsie Sioux & The Banshees, Clan of Xymox, etc.

    But nothing, I mean nothing, compares to Dead Can Dance’s Within The Realm of The Dying Sun. “Persephone, the Gathering of Flowers” is one of the greatest compositions ever written in any genre :love:

    I went through a goth/post-punk phase. I still like it, but don’t really care to hear more than I already know of.

    I like Bauhaus, Fields of Nephilim, Joy Division, Birthday Party, early Human League and some other stuff like that from around then.
