Gothic

Newsgroups: alt.gothic From: [email protected] (Morpheus Laughing) Subject: the gothlist Message-ID: <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] (Usenet poster) Organization: University of Washington, Seattle Distribution: alt.gothic Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 05:28:28 GMT Lines: 321 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. any information or comments should go to [email protected] Actifed defunct UK Adams Family active UK Add It Up ? ?
