I go for the cure

The Cure had a few good goth albums. They sometimes get forgotten by hardcore goth-rock fans (or are ignored outright), but the Cure's "Pornography" was extremely influential.

Since I'm a big fan of Neil Gaiman, I thought I'd mention the CD of music inspired by his writing called Where's Neil When You Need Him? It's got some good tracks by darkwave artists such as ThouShaltNot, The Cruxshadows, and Deine Lakaien.

I got that last summer. I was a bit dissapointed. Of the 17 tracks, I only liked about 7 or 8. None of the tracks were bad, but I was hoping for a higher degree of quality.

I saw the cd at a music store at the mall by where I live but I didn't have the chance to pick it up. I was surprised that Neil Gaiman had such a great music taste, even though I did know he is an obvious big fan of Goth Rock (Sandman comics)

What the hell? Okay, I just changed the link to the Allmusic guide instead of Amazon.

Sweet. I definitely want to look into that. I'm not completely familiar with Gaiman, but I love comic books (and Spawn), and it looks like a really nice collection of music artists. ^_^ I defintely wanna check that out.

Gaiman is a pretty amazing guy himself. I read a LOT (at least one book a week), and he remains to by my favorite author (and has been for years).

He's also pretty important to goth. He was one of the early advocates and defenders of the goth culture, and has featured goth characters in many of his works. Not to mention more than a few allusions (ex. in the first volume of Sandman, a girl in all black is wearing a Joy Division jacket) and in-jokes.

He is, by far, my favorite writer as well. I just love his writing style, the way he subtly brings in various Goth characteristics and things into the things he writes and draws, like the Joy Division thing which made me want to jump in glee when I saw it, I just love everything he does. I don't get around to reading as much as I used to but I would love to read more of Gaiman's books if I can get the chance.

Speaking of Neil Gaimen, I am looking forward to seeing Stardust.

I've been coming and going on the latest thread (before this one), and I'm really liking the first few introductory pages. Very appealing. I'm still pretty new to the Goth-rock/darkwave/deathrock genres but I'm getting there...slowly.
I've heard/remembered the following, but I have a pretty long list of bands I'm going to be listening to in the future...
Bauhaus
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Diary of Dreams (I'm not sure if they would be classified as the related but whatever..)
Joy Division
London After Midnight
Siouxsie and the Banshees
(The?) Sisters of Mercy
Switchblade Symphony
Type O Negative (I'm not totally sure about this one either...)
Voted Bauhaus, by the way.

EDIT::
A lot of these songs on the Bella Morte site sounds a lot different from the deathrock I've heard in the past...

Speaking of comic books, anyone else enjoy David J's V for Vendetta EP?

Dr. Charles Manson

This is the first Goth rock thread, after Goth 101, that I actually like and think is well made. Good job. heart

I don't like the Goth 101 thread too much... though, it is better than the atrocious Industrial 101 thread.

My favorite Goth Rock band is The Screaming Dead, this was Tony McCormack's band before Inkubus Sukkubus, and I also adore Human Drama.

Diary of Dreams (I'm not sure if they would be classified as the related but whatever..)
Type O Negative (I'm not totally sure about this one either...)

Diary of Dreams are darkwave.
I haven't listen to much Type O Negative, but I would simply call what I've heard Metal. Maybe with some doom metal and darkwave influence?
