Some of you are, but most of you aren't, aware that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alixandrea, Paul (with no lj) and me are in the planning stages of presenting a Goth night on 209 radio (105fm). We had a meeting tonight (which I'm just in from, and am soaked as the heavens opened on me) to basically swap some tracks around, get a hold on what we all thought it is, or isn't, and generally have a bit of a natter.
It's prompted me to look into a few bands I'd not heard of, always a good thing.
But it's also made me curious and this is where I need your help EVERYONE please.
Name a few tracks that, in your view, come under the 'Goth' umbrella.
Time period, style etc are pretty much irrelevant - and if you don't count yourself as a 'Goth', even better actually. What are your pre-conceptions of a typical Goth track? There is, let me make myself clear, no 'wrong' answer here. I'm curious! :)
If everyone on my friends list (here on lj and over there on facebook) could give me three tracks, that'd be a huge help.
(ino, walking in the rain at night listening to Muse's 'Invincible' is a great way to spend a few minutes, so long as you know there's a warm house and fluffy towel at the end of your stomp!)

Fields of the Nephilim, "Psychonaut"
Bauhaus, "Kick in the Eye"
Alien Sex Fiend, "Now I'm Feeling Zombified"
I know they're all really obvious, but meh. Seriously though, anything by the likes of the above, the Sisters, Specimen, Southern Death Cult, Christian Death, Virgin Prunes, Sex Gang Children... I'm a filthy metaller obviously, so feel free to disregard anything I say. But the likes of VNV et al. are not industrial, are not EBM, and are not goth.
And now I wait for the bitching ;-)

You might like Spotify as a tool for ideas gathering - it's basically a free* online music player, with a wide variety of music available. It's good for letting you audition tracks/artists before going off and committing to paying for their stuff, or having to try to find a torrent etc to listen to them
*ad supported, registration needed :p

It almost makes you miss the days of Commune and Rocksoc-Chat, when these pointless arguments seemed to flare up roughly once a week :-)
