I find Gothic music to be kinda depressing. I mean it's alright and way better then EMO music. Still not my cup of tea though

Any examples of some of the best gothic music? I want some ideas of things to track down.

Nightwish is semi-gothic/metal/opera music. It gets crazy.

Nightwish ehhh....want a nice band that plays with a orchestra listen to Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth, or by far the best Therion

I only really like 80's gothrock, Cure, Bauhaus, The Smiths, etc.

I also like HIM if they count. I guess they kinda do?

Same here, Alison Chains. While the new and recent goth music sounds fairly good, 80's gothrocks is superb.

big fan of really depressed goth music i see you like the cure robert smith is the original goth-father
check out joy division i think you will find their music pretty good
to bad that curtis killed himself after a master piece like "closer" and the boys that survived him made up this crap band called new order

him and nightwish are more pop rock than goth rock, they use the goth style to look more interresting and mystic. but they not more goth than any average pop rock mtv band these days.

you want the real thing, i urge goth fans to look at joy division as i wrote before, honest, dark and ugly/beautiful music with ian curtis haunting voice.
they dont look like goth, they look more like some school boys, but see a live video of them, oh they rock. instead of just go the punk way as the most british band of the late 70s did, im glad joy division started something completely different. were would the cure, the smith, nick cave and the bad seed, husker du without joy divisions music? maybe joy division never went on to become popular like the smiths or the cure, but in a year they changed rock forever with "unkown pleasures" and "closer".

fields of the nephilim is another great goth/rock/metal band.
if you like joy division or bands like motorhead or judas priest i think you will love them.

I like Joy Division. They kinda started the whole Goth movement along with Robert Smith.
