- I can live with these bands in the "Goth Top 40" :-), but I would
- pick some other albums. E.g DCD/DCD, Bauhaus/Mask, SoM/only the first 12"s
- Pornography is great indeed.
-
- Well, let me mention some of my favorite albums. Some bands are never
- mentioned in this newsgroup. Am I getting to old ? They are definitely
- worth listening to. I hope this list brings some of you to new ideas.
-
- Virgin Prunes - If I die, I die
- (The best Goth album made ever !)
-
- SPK - Zamia Lehmanni
- Coil - The Horse Rotorvator
- The Sound - From the lions mouth
- (Has anyone outside England or Holland
- ever heard of them ?)
- A Certain Ratio - To Each .....
- (Before Ian Curtis hung himself, they
- were more popular then Joy Division)
- Dave Ball - In Strict Tempo
- (Featuring Gavin Friday and Genisis P. Orridge).
- Jesus & Mary Chain - Psycho Candy
- (In 85, this was the first new album in
- in 2 years that made me sit straight up)
- New Order - Movement
- Comsat Angels - Fiction
- (Same question as with the Sound)
- Theatre of Hate - West world
- Cocteau Twins - Garlands
- Psychic TV - Dreams less sweet
- (Maybe some people consider this an
- industrial band ? To me, this album is
- most definitly gothic)
- the Cramps - Songs the lord taugth us /Psychedelic
- Jungle/ Off the bone
- (Maybe the music is not so gothic, but
- the lyrics are. They have the highest
- level of vampires, werewolfs, zombies,
- mass murderers, voodoo, human flies,
- etc. in their songs, of any band I know)
- Tuxedomoon - Half mute/ Desire/ Holy wars
- (All three are great, dark, sad,
- impressive albums)
- This Mortal Coil - It'll end in tears
- the Fall - The wonderfull & frightening world of ..
- (Featuring Gavin Friday on 2 songs)
- the Gunclub - Miami
- (Cowboy gothic ?? :-)
- Modern Eon - Fiction tales
- Medium Medium - In the glitterhouse
- (Funk gothic ?)
-
- So my top 10 of Goth albums would be: "If I die, I die", "Alice", "DCD",
- "Pornography", "From the lions mouth", "Psycho candy", "Movement",
- "Zamia Lehmanni", "To Each ..." and "The Horse Rotovator".
