As I sit here discovering Poisonblack, I decided to resurrect this old thread.

I heard this band for the first time a few weeks ago and was pretty much blown away. I heard
The 69 Eyes for the first time Tuesday night (a track called "Still Waters Run Deep," and they remind me of Sisters of Mercy with a rockier feel and far less "bombast." I'll be picking up some of their stuff ASAP.
Speaking of bombast, I've really taken a shine to Nightwish lately, though I certainly wouldn't call them "goth" per se. For the uninitiated, Nightwish and Within Temptation sound like Andrew Lloyd Weber gone metal.
I also find I prefer the new female vocalist in Nightwish to Tarja Turunen as she's got a more "rock"-oriented voice, instead of "all soprano all the time."

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
Great thread!
I do remember reading in an article about Robert Smith of The Cure that he hated being labeled as Goth and probably considered himself more mope rock than anything. of course he said that last part as a joke, but yeah he never cared for the Goth label.
Siouxsie and the Banshees always said they were punk, but their newest evolution " The Creatures" is somewhat Goth in my opinion.
is there really a definitive definition of "Goth"? I'd be curious to see what it is.

I think it's more of a feeling of a song, there can be "punk" bands that have done a "goth" song, and "goth" bands that have done "punk" songs.

Three pages and no mention of the Damned? The album Phantasmagora is much more Gothic than Punk. I also wouldn't be surprised if Dave Vanian was Tim Burton's basis for the look of Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd.
Most of their albums are a cross of Gothe and Punk.

I never thought about that, but that's worth investigating! Time to find out of Burton and/or Depp is/are Damned fans!
