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?

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.

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.

...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.
