such as?

I like bands like NIN and smashing pumpkins, does that count?

But then I also like Elvis and Sinatra...

 

[exael]

Eheheh It's not too bad, could be worse..
To name a few: Bauhaus, Siouxsie, The Cure, Joy Division, Killing Joke and a few more were the forefathers of Goth (not goth themselves... Post Punks is more like it)

I also listen to pretty much everything, so... I'm handing in a proposal for another show just of Japanese visual rock / J-Rock / J-Pop / Anime music eheh

Joy Division is one of my favourite bands ever. Love Will Tear Us Apart is the most powerful song, I just love it.

The Cure are alright but I prefer their less commercial stuff, Love Cats just pisses me off, but the paranoia that shines through in A Forest is really nice.

I don't like Bauhaus to much, a bit mechanical I prefer my music to have a more human face. Literally and musically.

Siouxsie and the Banshees are pretty good

Joy Division is okay

I recently rediscovered the Distillers. More punk than goth I think, but any band with a female vocalist gets my attention anyway (speaking of, have you heard garbages new album...its average at best)

Yeah the distillers are definitely more punk than goth. If not totally but hey... Joy Division (as warsaw), cure (as easy cure), and early siouxsie were punks too! goth was born out of punk.. At least true goth, not the cliché stuff you read it's goth such as manson and evanescence and rasmus and whatever-their-name-is, which truly isnt. Same for NIN but NIN are cool! But not goth

As for Garbage's album, I haven't heard it yet, but I'm professionally curious to listen to it because of the production (I'm an audio engineering graduate). Butch Vig is one hell of a producer.

New Garbage album is more akin to the first album. "Bleed like Me" is a stand out track for me.

As for Butch Vig - the guy is a legend for producing Nevermind, Siamese Dream and Garbage too.

Oh yeh ultimate "goth" rock band w/female vocalist if you get to hear it is Human Waste Project. They were so f'n awesome. Aimee Echo was lead singer (she's now in theStart), I also think they did a collaboration with Korn at one time.

I think they only recorded one song with Korn (This Town). Excellent song, but often listed as being Korn + Kittie for some strange reason.

Hmm... I like Joy Divison from what I've heard (Donnie Darko ), but not really anything else of the sort.

I was into Goth shit like the Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus in the 80's and now as an adult I see it as the worst music genre ever and I am thouroughly ashamed of ever liking that stuff. Teenage angst and mysticism for people with no real worries in their lives.
I prefer to listen to James Brown nowadays, but I can see (and cringe at) why young people are drawn to that pompous crap.

 

[lizard808uk]

I think the dressing up is a bit well dodgy. But I like anything guitar based that has good riffage. So that can include "goth rock" or it can be straight up Rock and Roll.

BIG PLUG: Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation - its awesome. (I should have posted in the other thread, but dont want to spam :rolleyes: )

Eheheh I'm not a kid anymore either. But I have to agree most of the people into it are trash. I've met loads of people in the London scene as well and they're pretty much all pricks

Only now I noticed you're from Finchley.. I used to live in Muswell Hill
