This time more traditionally Goth (although I’ve heard the lead singer of The Sisters of Mercy swear up and down they’re not Goth, most of the Goth’s I know believe otherwise).
First the one that started it all, the song that many count as the origin of Goth as a genre of its own:
Now, I’ve got a shameful confession. I’m not really that into Bauhaus. They’re okay but I much, much prefer some of the later stuff that came along. Like, say, the Sisters of Mercy:
Then there’s The 69 Eyes:
And Type O Negative
Hmm. That video looks familiar. 😉
So, there’s a brief introduction to Gothic Rock, including samples from several of what some folk consider as some of the best bands in the field.
Enjoy.

I’m not really a goth, but I DID love the 9 min original Bela Lugosi’s Dead, like on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRJfIPiJGY
I remember dancing to new wave/ punk/ post-punk alternative in the late 70s early 80s.
Glad to hear more Sisters of Mercy, will add them to list of songs (like from Jango).
Dark, brooding … rain … and leather. Fine videos.
