Do the 69 eyes count as gothic?
Bauhaus?
Siouxsie and the Banshees?
Switchblade Symphony?
Joy Division?
Type O Negative?
The Birthday Party?

Most of those my friend told me about.

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.
