The Revenge of the Top Five Meme
- Jun. 5th, 2008 at 3:08 PM
Reply to this post and I will (eventually) respond with something for you to post your top five or ten of.
nuadha_prime asked for my Top Five Goth Bands.
Old; Joy Division technically pre-dates goth, and SoM, Bauhaus and The Cure have all stated that they aren't and never were goth. Which is sooooo goth.
New; The line between goth and EBM/"cyber" has gotten pretty blurry...
And a special award goes to The Swans for being the most bleakly depressing band of all time.

- The Sisters of Mercy
- The Cure
- Alien Sex Fiend
- Bauhaus
- Joy Division
New; The line between goth and EBM/"cyber" has gotten pretty blurry...
- The Birthday Massacre
- Abney Park (steampunk darlings, yes, but they sound like a goth band to me)
- Ayria
- Bella Morte (blurring over into punk/nu-metal, but they wearenough eyeliner to rank as goth in my book)
- The Cruxshadows
And a special award goes to The Swans for being the most bleakly depressing band of all time.

I also harbour fondnesses for Rosetta Stone, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Fields of the Nephilim and, of course, Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Top Five cities to get sent to for work (as oppose to just visit for fun)
For your classic goth list, I would probably post almost the same list, but bumping Bauhaus up to #2. Otherwise, the same.
Of your new bands, I have only heard Cruxshadows, but liked what I heard. (I may have heard other at the club here but I have no clue what they are playing.)
Go ahead and hit me with a list.
