THE GOTHIC MUSIC LIST
last update: 12/9/92
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Again thanx to all who have contributed and send in those
corrections and new info particularly country of origin. But please no
e-mail just to say 'hey, but these people aren't Goth and never have
been".
Accept that other people inevitably have widely differing opinions as
what is and isn't Goth. This is just a list for people who enjoy
Gothic music and would like to know the names of some other bands to
check out. It hardly claims to be definitive or even necessarily
accurate because I have to rely on contributions from numerous other
people and can't possibly investigate all of these bands myself. The basic
assumption around here is that any band on the list should be fair game
for discussion. And no mail to say 'but 'X' belongs on the first list, not
the second. Bottom line is I do this for _me_ and bands go where i feel
they should go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's version 23 of the Gothic Music list.
As always, corrections and additions,comments, etc are
gratefully accepted. Corey recommends the "Gothic Rock Black Book" and
"Gothic Rock" by Mick Mercer. It's mostly typical Brit 'journalism' but has
good history sections and features on the Cult, All About Eve,Fields of
the Nephilim,the Sisters of Mercy and the Mission. Many of the defunct UK
bands only recorded one single so good luck. Only bands that have actually
had a piece of music released by a real record company will be listed, no
bands with only demo tapes.
