All of my favorite songs are by The Damned, so i guess that about covers most genres

[[..:Verónica:..]]

Heh, the irony. Oh well...

I'd say it is "A Day" by Clan of Xymox. But then again, I'm hooked for the 289,486,928,938,201,676th time with them, and there's no way for me to get over it.

Sinking / The Cure. Well pretty much anything from The Cure I must say.
God damn the Sun / Swans. Michael Gira as the most awesome songwriter in history. For real.
Sugar Hiccup / Cocteau Twins
Terror Couple Kill Coronel / Bauhaus
With My Sorrows / Black Tape for a Blue Girl
Death of the Corn / Current 93

Then again, I'm more of a Post Punker, but Gothic and Post Punk being so closely united, I'd say my favorite Goth Rock song ever is the following:

Disorder / Joy Division

[Kidthorazine]

Thriller by Michael Jackson

[CarnalxKiss]

my tastes change weekly it seems...so...at this very moment..my fav tune is...BiGod 20-The Bog and KMFDM- Disobedience

[Ichigo]

"Romeo's Distress" by Christian Death

[a_small_death]

switchblade symphony, bad trash.

[inox]

The Sisters of Mercy - "Marian [Version]"

There's an earlier version of the track done to the music from the song "First and Last and Always", but I prefer this version.

[hewhoisagod]

Dead Souls by Joy Division, although the Nails version is great too.

[the_plague]

two faves at the moment

join me by H.I.M.
decomposed metal skin by Cadaver

[Ichigo]

Gah! HIM isn't goth rock!

[Wickedanima]

Gah! HIM isn't goth rock!

Neither is Thriller. But this isn't a what is Goth thread, thank god...

[Kidthorazine]

Neither is Thriller. But this isn't a what is Goth thread, thank god...

actually when i said Thriller it was joke (my fav goth rock song is probably The Spy in the Cab by Bauhaus)

[One Eyed Cat]

Bauhaus - Rosegarden Funeral of Sores

OEC

[Ichigo]

Neither is Thriller. But this isn't a what is Goth thread, thank god...

No, but it's a post where you are to name your favorite goth rock song, so a discussion like that was bound to come. And I know kidthorazine personally, so I knew that was a joke.

decomposed metal skin by Cadaver

Mmm I love H.I.M. and i dont care what anyone says...Join Me is an awesome song...as is Gone With the Sin...Im even gonna fly my daughter and myself out to NY in November to catch one of their 2 shows there. Ville Valo is hot...i love his voice and the lyrics...goth or not...both of these are dark songs lyrically tuned to death and fun stuff....i can see how it would be perceived as goth....goth is a state of mind...not a certain put your thumb on it....thing...

[Titus]

"Romeo's Distress" by Christian Death

oh yeah..!

[tinstar]

I Walk The Line - Alien Sex Fiend

[devil13]

I cant decide which song I like better
Sex Gang Children - Sebastiane / Mauritia Mayer

[Morning Glory]

what the hell is goth rock? like alice cooper?

[Kidthorazine]

what the hell is goth rock? like alice cooper?

Its an offshoot of punk that started in the late 70s and early 80s It incldes bands like Bauhaus, later Joy Division, Sexgang Children, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, and Sisters of Mercy. Alice Cooper is shock rock

[devil13]

"Romeo's Distress" by Christian Death

Val or Rozz???? didnt they both do a version of it?

[devil13]

what the hell is goth rock? like alice cooper?

some would say that the first goth band was The Damned

[Tequila Zaire]

Hmmm, that's tough.

Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot...What? You didn't know he was goth? Look at the videos...he's always wearing black clothes. Yup, old skol goth at its finest.

[devil13]

Alice Cooper is Horror or Shock Rock basiclly he was doing what Rob Zombie does but back in the 70s

[Tequila Zaire]

Alice Cooper is Horror or Shock Rock basiclly he was doing what Rob Zombie does but back in the 70s

For now anyway...eventually Rob will have a lounge act in vegas where he sings old Rat Pack tunes.

[KilLAtomiK]

why is HIM not goth music the dude looks prety gothy to me and so does the music

[Ichigo]

HIM is just plain old rock music. Just because someone looks goth, doesn't mean that they are. They sound nothing like any goth band I've heard.

[Ichigo]

Val or Rozz???? didnt they both do a version of it?

Rozz of course. Valor sucks!

[Ichigo]

I cant decide which song I like better
Sex Gang Children - Sebastiane / Mauritia Mayer

Ah, Sebastiane is a great song. My favorite of theirs is Arms of Cicero.

[Evilbink]

some would say that the first goth band was The Damned

Yes.. and I would be at least one of that some. If you don't know The Damned, do yourself a favor and give them a listen. It dosent matter what other kind of music you generally prefer, i'm sure you will like them.

they are great, i said the same thing"i was a bit ashamed i didn't know that much about them,haha......

i'd recommend 'em...........

[CarnalxKiss]

I Walk The Line - Alien Sex Fiend

Damn good song.....as is smells like shit-- by alien sex fiend..

[CarnalxKiss]

Val or Rozz???? didnt they both do a version of it?

Rozz is my choice....(R.I.P) he did an awesome short indie film before he died...called PIG...its awesome..sadistic and sittin in my collection..heh

[CarnalxKiss]

HIM is just plain old rock music. Just because someone looks goth, doesn't mean that they are. They sound nothing like any goth band I've heard.

Having heard at least 100 of their songs now....they can be considered gothic rock....i compare them to the old cult...and the 69 eyes.....rocking goth......they speak of darkness, blood, death. sadism, lost love...depression, murder....all of these fit in the goth genre....hell a genre such as goth cannot be made up of just *goth* bands....what about nick cave, pj harvey, diamanda galas, Leonard Cohen....etc etc...all of these bands are big in the Goth scene...because the music speaks for them...not a label or stereotype....The cramps never made a song that sounded goth...but hell they are considered goth or punk...because of the uniquness and diversity...and the lyrics...The damned are awesome...always have been always will be...the point i guess im trying to make is this...almost any type of music can be considered goth...if it has the makings of the gothic movement.....darkness, eerieness, ecclecticness...who and what is to determine a frame of mind?..
