ultimate Goth anthems

Ok we've had the poodle rock, how about the 'stop taking yourself so seriously' music listing.

I'll start:
The Sisters Of Mercy – Temple of Love (83)
Fields Of The Nephilim – Moonchild
Skeletal Family – Promised Land
Play Dead – Shine
The Mission – Wasteland
Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi's Dead
The March Violets – Snake Dance
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry – Chance
The Southern Death Cult – Moya

Over to you lot

Anything by Slipknot obviously

Could you call UK Decay goths????? Maybe proto goth, I hope I haven't come up with some new music genre there.

I will say UK Decay – For my country

Slipknot don't count. nor cradle of filth or any of that sub-metal genre

The various incarnations of Foetus?
Alien Sex Fiend

marylin manson – beautiful people

marylin manson – beautiful people

+1 – Marylin is the King of Goth anthems… I quite like his stuff, and I don't have a penchant for white makeup and black cloaks…

Type O Negative – Black # 1

Sisters of Mercy This Corrosion – on Top of the Pops!

and a much loved The Mission do Neil Young

Foetus All Nude Revue
anything by Clint Ruin
Fields of the Neff – Preacher Man (which still sounds good)

The Dammed – Elouise?

The Swans

Burning World or White Light From the Mouth of Infinity albums.

If you're still feeling cheerful after that try Greed,Time is Money/Bastard or Raping a Slave.
That will sort the men from the floppy fringed Emo wusses

the cult – spiritwalker
balaam and the angel – love me
sex gang children – sebastian
lorries – walking on your hands
nephilim – power
sisters – marian
play dead – sacrosanct
this list could go on and on!

If we're doing anthems as opposed to 'ooh look how trendy I am by dropping some never heard of before band name'

The Cult – She Sells Sanctuary
The Cure – Boys Don't Cry

The sisterhood – rain from heaven/colours

Young men – SOD
The Tenant – Play dead
Lagarija Nick – Bauhaus
Valentine – Sisters
Tension – Killing joke

Do the Cocteau Twins count? In which case sugar hiccups and pearly dew drops drops

Sugar Hiccup most certainly does count 🙂

Keep em coming

The Jesus and Mary Chain – Psycho Candy.

(are they goths?)

JAMC can fit into goths, but you can't have the whole album!

How about a couple from Jesus and Mary Chain, probably Never Understand and Just Like Honey? Not strictly goth either, but seemed close enough at the time.

Edit: beaten to it by the three minutes in which I've watched five of their videos on Youtube.

More nearly goth than Slipknot anyway 😉

All good stuff, and a few that I'll have to research when I get home, cheers folks

Damn. I meant Some Candy Talking

Because of the Half-Man-Half-Biscuit thread this morning, I went out and bought Back Again in the DHSS. I can see another trip up-town this afternoon!

If I can remember correctly I think there was a collaboration between Bob Smith from the Cure and some of the Banshees.
Band was called The Glove(maybe) and LP was Blue Sunshine.
Don't have my vinyl anymore-long time since I heard it.

Alien Sex Fiend-great blast from the past.

First Banshees album The Scream is very good too.
Love and Rockets (post Bauhaus)worth a listen and if the Cocteau Twins are in then check Dead Can Dance for some beautiful sounds

Eloise was ok but there's much more gothic stuff in The Damned's back catalog.
Anything from The Black Album, for example, or The Limit Club, Sanctum Sanctorum, etc

When I were a lad, Robin Guthrie used to come in and see his brother who's office was across the corridor from my dad's in Grangemouth. He was a really nice guy. I made him tea a couple of times and he gave me some CD's.
