Goth Bands

[DeathBanana]

What are some of the best goth bands out there? I love me a creepy tune here and there. I've always been a huge Type O Negative fan, but now I'm trying to broaden my horizons.
I recently got a couple Sisters of Mercy albums. First and Last and Always is amazing. I got an album from Fields of the Nephilim (Dawnrazor) which is sounding solid. I also think that Death in June might be a good band, gotta listen to them a little more though. Any other recommendations? And no poseur goth bands please.

Never really liked Goth music, though I dig "My Dying Bride".

I need to add old Christian Death to the list. Only Theatre of Pain is a classic. Catastrophe Ballet and Ashes are also worthy. (Definitely choose the Rozz material over Valor's stuff.)

[DeathBanana]

Thanks for the suggestions. I got some research to do...

[DrSatan]

Sisters of Mercy
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Bauhaus
Christian Death

some Nico albums (Marble Index + Desertshore), which are pre-goth but still creepy as fuck.

Sisters of MercyJust don't mention that to Mr. Eldritch:"I'm not interested in what g***s think. I gather Mick Mercer keeps revising his Book Of G*** to include ever-more-ascerbic comments about us because we still refuse to talk to him. Go figure.

I recently declined the opportunity to do guest vocals on a single for somebody (who shall remain nameless) because the lyrics were appalling - and very silly. I thought "If I sang that rubbish, people would accuse me of being a g***!". (The artist who shall remain nameless was not, of course, accused of any such thing.) Turns out the lyrics had been written for her by David Dorrell, a prime originator of the "Sisters are g*** and therefore crap" smear. There's a nice irony for you. Pot calling kettle black, I'd say - except that we're a stainless-steel kettle and very shiny. He remains a dimwit, and he's scraping a living writing crappy g*** lyrics for mainstream pop artists. Better than the fat professional-retard who now does the annoying adverts for washing powder, I suppose, or the fat professional-retard who went off to write for the Sun. They didn't like us either. British music journalists never die, they waddle off to reveal their agenda for a derelict spiv nation in a media half-life more grotesque than anything I've ever been accused of.

The Sisters are occupied by politics and philosophy but we lack a spiritual agenda. Apart from the fact that we're not very spiritually-minded and only ever use the idioms ironically (when we use them at all), it's disappointing that so many people have in all seriousness adopted just one of our many one-week-of-stupid-clothes benders, just like it's currently disappointing that the rest of the nation is in all seriousness wearing those crappy seventies clothes that we wore for a week in '84 because we'd taken enough medication to find it funny. Well, okay, we wore crappy seventies shirts for more than a week, but that's because we kept taking the medication. And it really was funny.

Anyway, I'm constantly confronted by representatives of popular culture who are far more g*** than we, yet I have only to wear black socks to be stigmatised as the demon overlord."
