Awesome!! :clap:

I actually wanted to submit "Inside the Devil" but unfortunately it's not uploaded on Youtube. :(

N00b here! First time I listened to Sisters of Mercy's "Marian" was at age 15.
However "Marian" for me is one of those proustian madeleine songs that brings back memories in a chain, so strong I can remember things exactly they were back then. i.e, a bit gloomy ;p

[Absinthe]

I think SoM are the pioneers of it all, speaking generally... but there's something about the Fields of the Nephilim song "For Her Light" that makes me feel that is the best goth song ever written :love:

Or at least that's what I'll be telling my kids ;)

Cro-Magnid Pride World Wide :D

Yeah. If you do a google image search for him the first result is fucking unexpected. :D

Creepy while listening to this song as well.

For me, that would be

After listening to those songs I could never go back to being normal again ;)

Absinthe, I love you, can we get married - now?:p :D

80's and early 90's Goth music is and was the best era for for Goth music, so out of the ones you posted, it would have to be FoTN for me.

However, Love Will Tear Us Apart from Joy Division and Spellbound or Israel by Siouxsie and the Banshees would be my favourites :thumb001:

Btw, it is generally considered that Joy Division and Siouxsie were the ones who started it all ;)

[Psychonaut]

More first wave Goth/Post-Punk? I give you Above the Ruins, Tony Wakeford's (yes, that Tony Wakeford) ooooooold band:

To be quite honest, I had forgotten how good this song sounds. This gets my vote :thumb001:

Dedicated to all the goth lovers of Apricity ))

[Eldritch]

Wow, can't believe I've missed this thread till now. Well, I voted for SoM, even though Eldritch hates Goths and the whole scene. But then again he is just one grim, morbid, miserable bastard, and the Goth Grandpa, whether he wants it or not. :p

Btw although SoM are one of my favourite bands, they are not where my username comes from, although some people have made that assumption over the years. Although it is of course a nice bonus to be the namesake of the SoM vocalist.

[DeusEx]

Well Type O Negative more doom metal band instead of gothic, with same success Paradise Lost could join to vote poll. Diary of Dreams has differed phonation above old-school gothic bands.

I have to go for the Sisters.
I was never a Goth, but my best mate was. (He would probably go for 'Fields of the Nephilim' or 'Balaam and the Angel'.)

btw: has anyone heard of an English Goth band called 'Every new Dead ghost'?

They were the only true Goth band which I ever went drinking with (in Nottingham circa 1990-91).

As a non-Goth, my favourite song from the original 1980s Goth wave... :thumb001:

Bon jovi it's my life....

The song has many classic Bon Jovi features, such as Sambora's use of the talk box, and a line in the second verse "For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down" refers to Tommy and Gina, a fictional working class couple that Bon Jovi and Sambora first wrote about in the 1986 classic "Livin' on a Prayer."

"It's My Life" is notable for its line referencing Frank Sinatra himself: "My heart is like an open highway / Like Frankie said / I did it "My Way"." Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora apparently had an argument over those lines:[2]

“ I had just come home from making "U-571" and I said "Sinatra made 16 movies and toured 'til he was 80. This is my role model". He said, "You can't write that darn lyric. Nobody cares about Frank Sinatra but you." And I wrote it anyway.

I tried Germanicus but..... I just can't seem to get my head around the concept of "Bon Jovi" and "Goth" :D
