You know like Boys Next Door's "Shivers" or "Rain" by Tones On Tail or like a million Depeche Mode songs. What are more examples of these?

Or like The Church - Under The Milkyway

Currently sobbing to The Passions "I'm In Love With a German Film Star"

Go straight to "Faith" by The Cure and tracks such as "The Funeral Party" and "The Drowning Man".

Also, considerably more pop but still very goth: "Wonderful Life" by Black.

"Stay with Me" - the Mission
"Marian" - Sisters (mayb?)

LOL at including The Church as goth-pop

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 7 January 2011 04:23 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah that one made me splutter too. I dont wanna get all Alex in NYC but KIG people.

This isn't goth either, but I was just now listening to Allison Krause and Robert Plant's "Stick With Me Baby" and realized some similarities with this other song I like by Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, and here was this thread.

Ok then stuff that isn't goth but is like the examples given above, you fucking boring brain-numbing pedants

puff pastry hangman (admrl), Friday, 7 January 2011 06:55 (fourteen years ago)

Hahah sorry, I may deny my gothyness but I'll defend "wots goth" vigourously :)

...dunno if i'd call them "goth pop ballads" but.

Ex Loin Tamer (Trayce), Friday, 7 January 2011 08:30 (fourteen years ago)

Adam is clearly using an expanded definition of "goth", this is the brief I'm responding to.

Tim F, Friday, 7 January 2011 08:42 (fourteen years ago)

Fair point. I guess its always been a dicky genre to encompass.

Ex Loin Tamer (Trayce), Friday, 7 January 2011 08:45 (fourteen years ago)

in the oh eleven "goth" makes much more sense as a free floating tag that you build coalitions of otherwise disparate music around, rather than as a genre per se.

Ugh sorry that appears to be a horribly MTV-edited version of the track.

Kim, Friday, 7 January 2011 17:47 (fourteen years ago)

more this mortal coil songs could also be listed of course.

Shakespeare's Sister "Stay" - or is that pushing the definition too far?
