Does anyone on this site even like...

[Guest Game of Chance]

I know a lot of you like EBM, but I'm not asking about that. I'm also not asking about punk rock or hair metal. Simply goth/industrial. Please don't post that you like VNV Nation or Manson and therefore you like goth music.

Just curious...

[Wounds Within]

I will have to agree with you on this. Cradle Of Filth is another band that many people believe are goth or like goth music due to their very enjoyment of this band. I enjoy COF as much as the next dude, but I have long since brached out since I was 17 and not even recall the last time I tuned into one of COF's songs.

[MarsDustDoug]

yes...

i started on this stuff when i was about 12ish (will be 25 in march).

Skinny puppy, KMFDM, alien sex fiend, coil, genitorturers, kidney thieves, ptp, acid horse, clock dva, sister machine gun, Prick, PWEI (though they chanegd their sound so much) die warzau... this could go on forever

how about some bella morte, this mortal coil, black tape for a blue girl, most of the cleopatra cataloge. all great stuff

Yes, ebm is much more popular but there are still a large mjority that wont forget the roots.

I do like ebm, but will take anything on that little name-drop list up there over it

Funny you mention some of those bands. When I was younger I used to make fun of PWEI and Prick because they weren't as hardcore as say...Skinny Puppy. Now I'll take them over some (though not all) of those EBM bands anyday.

Remember when other than some 4AD, Nettwerk and WaxTrax! stuff (they were not exclusively goth labels) there were really only 2 major independent labels, Cleopatra (which me and my friends referred to as dirty goth aka the stuff I liked better) and Projekt (clean goth)?

[Homicidalheathen]

I am just old school. So shoot me. Skinny puppy, Ministry......You know.

I hear ya. But Projekt records is 22 years old...and Cleopatra is 10+.

[MarsDustDoug]

projekt always had great compilations too. how I found most of the stuff i listened to back then.. i mena when yer liek 13 you cant really go anywhere to hear the music.. less its your friends older "creepy" brother

It took me about 5 years total but I have the entire PWEI album collection on cd. only one burned. I even got some vinyl. I just love how they progressed and changed their sound through the years.

[Fierce Critter]

I have never liked industrial.

As for goth, I guess I just am not into anything hardcore. I was never into Bauhaus (were they REALLY goth?), Foetus, any of that. I just wasn't exposed to it. I really couldn't name any "true" goth bands, I don't think.

What I started on was what I personally consider "pop goth". The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie, etc.

I like to hear it, but I can't dance to it. Therefore, I prefer EBM/synthpop at the club.

[Head Wreck]

siouxsie

the cure

erm...

goth chicks are hot, hur hur hur....

i only see two genres of music, good music, shite music. i am more of a metalhead anyhow, that loves his rockabilly. the cramps got me into here, and hey, the women dress purdy too.

i cant help being male

Yes...very much so. Goth-punk early on...but eventually bringing goth music to the forefront with Bela Lugosi's Dead.

Ummmmm, I don't really know what counts as goth. As far as "old-skool", I like Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Joy Division (I really like these guys), and Coil... Do I pass the test?

[kellygrrrrrl]

I like "Goth" Music....

I am also old school on this one

I also do not know if my following choices are classified as "Goth" or "Ind." ...

But I like

Skinny Puppy

NIN

Type-o

Ministry

Fear Factory (older)

Zombie

among many others.....but to name a few

These all classify as hard/core/gothy madness to me.....

[odims_sphere]

I have to blame Phee, befor I met him I was well on my way to mullets and budweiser. In high school he introduced me to the Skinny Puppys, the Frontline Assemblys, The Front 242s and I have never looked back. Never really liked the "goth" side though, it always seemed to whiny to me.

[phee]

Thank you Odim.... and for blaming please see the Phuck Stick Thread...

Goth Music eh...

The Banshees

Switchblade Symphony

Cocteau Twins

Love Spirals Downward

SlowDive

Miranda Sex Garden

Sky Cries Mary

Other than that.... It seems to me that a lot of the "Goth" music out there just doesn't seem to have the amount of effort that I would see as necessary for me to like it.... kinda like folk music I guess.... I dunno...

It seems like "Goth Music" is more about fasion, and less about the actual music, which kind of can kill any genre for me... and yes I agree with HW about goth girls BTW.

[MarsDustDoug]

h Foetus! I forgot about Foetus!!

now im gonna listen to Foetus -Hole all day long with Coil inbetween...

good thing its not summer and the windows are closed the neighbors already think im strange enough

ps. anyone ever hear the Coil "Hellraiser Themes" album? they were asked to write the music for the frst Hellraiser and Clive Barker said it was too scary to use.

Hehehe, I have to say, you've got excellent taste in music! I own all of the Foetus albums and most of the Coil albums. I thoroughly enjoy the Hellraiser Themes. I also like the Musick to Play in the Dark series. All are very spooky.

[phee]

Coil is amazing

[wormsinwombs]

I like some goth like

Sopor Aeternus

The Cure

Sisters of Mercy

Bauhaus

Switchblade Symphony

[Homicidalheathen]

I feel like the only person who does not like Bauhaus.

I'm not a big fan either. Seems repetitive and boring to me. I can literally go to sleep listening to them.

Obviously, you've never seen them live.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That is true. I bought the Gotham CD awhile back and every time I try to listen to it, I just get so bored. It seems so minimalist. I'm sure there's reasons why scores of people like them. I just never caught the hang of their music.

[Fierce Critter]

My situation is basically one of non-exposure. What I've heard, I've liked. But I've heard precious little "actual" goth.

As far as Bauhaus, all I know of them is "Bela Lugosi's Dead", "No New Tale to Tell" and "So Alive". I think I've listened to one or two of their albums several times over, but can't recall much.

Bela is definitely "Goth" to me. But the rest of what I've heard by them - I'd be hard-pressed to call it goth. They seem to have a variety of sounds.

It doesn't sound like you have really heard much Bauhaus at all. Especially considering that "No New Tale to Tell" and "So Alive" are both by Love and Rockets. 3 of the 4 members, but totally different band with a very different style.
