I looked up the definition for Gothic Music and this is what I found: Gothic rock (also referred to as Goth rock or simply Goth) is a musical subgenre of Post-Punk and Alternative Rock that formed during the late 1970s. Gothic rock bands grew from the strong ties they had to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk scenes.
I am so bad in remember names of groups but I am going to try and put a collection of some of my favorite "Goth" songs together. From my understanding what I consider to be Gothic Music could very well be different than what the music is today, but as with everything in life even music changes with time.
Enjoy!!

I do not argue with people when they express their thoughts on certain topics. Many times you will hear people refer to Goth Music as Dark, Depressing, Gloomy and Evil. I am not saying that I have not heard some Goth Music that could be identified with those definitions, but if a Goth Song or any kind of song comes on that I do not like I just turn it off. Without a doubt I would say there are a lot more good songs than bad. But we are just talking about my opinion.
Switchblade Symphony: You can listen to their radio station, read about them and learn more about them at:

Here is some of their music!
From the moment I first heard Peter's voice (lead singer on Type O) I was hooked! I have too many favorite songs to list them all but will narrow it down to at least two! Isn't his voice spooky in a very exotic way?

If you would like to see some of their music....
This is pretty cool... I started talking to SacredCyn from Robins Group Gothic Temptations and it feels like I have known her forever. But she has introduced me to a few new Gothic Bands and I wanted to share a couple with you too!
Thanks!!

Often music can alter our moods. If we are down, music can bring us up; if we are sad it can make it us happy. If we wanted to be a little wicked (in a nice way) it can help us to be that as well.
Evanescence - Wanna see more of her music?
These are considered more Alternative than Goth. However, back in the day they were considered Goth because of the touch of "Punk". Regardless, I really like these a lot!!
Like any of these CD's?

- The kind of stuff I like tends to be on the edge of being considered "goth". I like a lot of the electro bands such as VNV Nation, Covenant, Funker Vogt, Heimataerde, ect. Good lens.

- Do you also like gothic folk? Bands like Faun or Mediaeval Baebes? If you haven't heard of them yet you should check them out. Great stuff.

- An excellent and really visual lens with plenty of music too. For a start it is an inspiration on how much better my own music lens could be, and second I enjoyed listening to the music too. I used to regularly go to Goth music nights around London, and used to enjoy the whole set up - the music, and the clothes too...

- Excellent lens! I love Evanesence, if you like them then you will probably like Within Temptation. Inkubus Sukkubus are pretty good too!

- I really do agree with you. If you don't like a particular song switch off the player. As you already probably know from one or two of my own lenses, I like a wide variety of music. I even like some of the "crying in your beer" country music :) Which one I listen to, really does depend on my mood. Personally, of the music you have covered here, Amy Lee is my favorite. I think she is exceptionally talented and Evanescence has been one of my favorites, if not my all time favorite, for many years now.

- I am so behind the times in music, I don't know who any of these bands are. I really am not into goth music, I think. I don't know, is Wendy Rule considered goth?
I'll jump on the bandwagon and add one of my music lenses, tho.
