[RedMaggot]

White Stripes

[RedMaggot]

[TheDocumentary]

I can take you higher by White Stripes

[Dave,]

Trivium are mine.

[SkaKid77]

Nightwish or Lacuna Coil.

[Victimized]

I love Trivium, but i don't think they are gothic, more metal.
Nightwish are okay, but i don't really like gothic bands, i don't really like the operaness int the songs.

[Not-Thrilled]

If there wasn't any opera in it, they'd just be another metal band. I think they've found a great, unique sound.

:'( <---- LOOK!! this is me crying!! look what you did!

NONE of the bands mentioned above are gothic, they are as gothic as britney spears and s club 7.

They are all metal.

http://www.live365.com/stations/penfoldsnemesis?play%20 <-- Goth, Industrial, Psychogothabilly, Electronic, Deathrock RADIO STATION!

Check out my posts in the 'what are you listening to' thread, im usually listening to some form of goth, however i do have the odd classic and dif genre songs.

For the record, I love 'Dead Can Dance' they do have a range of music and some of it is tribal, but alot is very gothic and im going through a phase where i listen to them alot. 'Sisters of Mercy' are a good band to start off with if your getting into goth, likewise with the 'The Southern Death Cult' and Ozzy Osbourne [he is dark, but not strictly goth, but good if you like metal].

Hope i helped.

[Not-Thrilled]

The term 'gothic' can be applied to any band slightly dark, from Evanescence to Ozzy Osbourne.

[xJoeYx]

anything dark and not maintstream, gothic is underground music. e.g. the batcave in london.

right right and right *overjoyed*
Siouxsie and the Banshees were the first influential 'gothic' band, it was only in the early 80's goth was established as a music genre, at the time they considered themselves a new wave punk band (goth came from punk).
It was manager of Joy Division that first used the term gothic to describe music, since then it has stuck to bands, such as the other ones you listed.
And yes, I would say the 69 eyes are gothic.
other big name goth bands :
Alien S*x Fiend
Christian Death
Specimen
Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
The Mission UK

Bands like Evanescene and White Stripes are not gothic, but metal, however they may be influenced by such bands.

[Jashmine]

I like being right, woo xD
And omgosh, thanks ;o! I get to steal bands now!!
-steals-

the only gothic band i would even consider listening to would have to be joy division
