Best Goth Band

Hip Priest · 03.21.2006, 04:41 PM

They're okay, some of them. Some of them are even better than okay ie rather good.

I can't stand some of the bands on this list, but I've been nice and put them in anyway.

Do you have a goth tendancy? And are you prepared to admit to it in public?

Hip Priest · 03.21.2006, 04:45 PM

Oh, yeah - Fields of the Nephilim are the Goth Kings.

ohthehorror · 03.21.2006, 04:46 PM

More Deathrock than Goth, but yeah I dig it.

From that list Bauhaus followed by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Everyneurotic · 03.21.2006, 04:51 PM

YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE GREATEST BANDS FROM THE US SCENE:

CHRISTIAN FUCKING DEATH

AND

45 FUCKING GRAVE

AND THOSE ARE THE RADDEST DEATHROCK/GOTH BANDS

you also forgot about southern death cult/the cult

PS: shouldn't this thread be on non-sonics sonics or whatever it's called. man, i'm confused

Signpost · 03.21.2006, 04:54 PM

IMO Bauhaus is the best.

Hip Priest · 03.21.2006, 04:55 PM

Agh! You're right, wrong section again! I promise to be more careful next time. Another move, please. At least I think I got the cheese poll right, eh?

You get ten options max, and I'm English, so I put the bands I knew. I left you the option though, like all good pollers do.

luxinterior · 03.21.2006, 04:56 PM

I like the Sisters of Mercy quite a bit.

noisemachine · 03.21.2006, 04:57 PM

Bauhaus will always be the best goth band, and really the only goth band i listen to. I dont really consider the Cure goth either.

Sonic Youth 37 · 03.21.2006, 04:58 PM

Bauhaus all the way! They are the forefathers of it all.

Me neither, but they had black hair and make-up, and all goths have 'The Cure' written on their coat or bag, don't they? I can't stand the cure myself, nor Siouxsie.

Everyneurotic · 03.21.2006, 05:01 PM

very considered of your part hip priest!

put yeah, my vote goes to 45 grave. completely underrated

you left out alien sex fiend too, those are funny!

gene loves jezebel are probably the worse in your options

Savage Clone · 03.21.2006, 05:02 PM

Bauhaus.
Cure are not goth.

HaydenAsche · 03.21.2006, 05:10 PM

If the Cure are goth than Joy Division is the best.

I don't listen to any of these bands. They make me sick.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 03.21.2006, 05:11 PM

I vote Bauhaus.

Christian Death is more like comedy goth IMO. They are to goth what the Germs were to punk.

If you are going to list Siouxsie and Cure as goth, Joy Division should probably be up there too. Birthday Party and early bad seeds were fricking good too, but whether or not they were actually gothic is up in the air.

I left you an option too! Use it!

The Cure are lumped in with goth bands a lot, so I put them in. I agree that they are not really goth, but neither were The Mission in my opinion. I was using my experience of goths to determine things.

Sorry.

Sonic Youth 37 · 03.21.2006, 05:13 PM

Cure=Bauhaus Lite

You only get to put ten options up. Take the options for bands I left out and people who find gothicity somewhat crap and you're left with eight. I did my best.

Savage Clone · 03.21.2006, 05:16 PM

Alien Sex Fiend are the funniest goth band; they know the trappings and lampoon what they love. They're great live.

but i should have clarified that EARLY christian death, after the first initial years they became unbearable.

from that list, i would have to go with bauhaus
