Well, I first got into The Cure. They helped me realize more emotions and darkness. Then I just looked up some gothic music and I've been in love since.
I would have to say "The end of the World" by The Cure is my first gothic song, although I don't really consider them gothic.

Back in 78 I had the pleasure of seeing a band that called themselves THE BLEEDING HEARTS (later they would morph into a more reconized band). Their whole set was more mood than music; very dark, very spooky. I remember they did a song called "Creature", that was the beginning.

I started getting into Evanescence, Within Temptation and Nightwish when I was very very young. I know those aren't exactly "goth" but they are what got me into the whole thing so I must give them credit.

Cities in dust - Souxsie and the Banshees.
Before then I had mostly listened to the stuff I had been brought up with, being poorly and without the internet to sample music, so that was the first song that I listened to that was done by choice.

He doesn't even consider himself among our subculture, in fact, he's only cited himself as a Shock Rocker (i.e. GG Allin, Wendy O Williams, late Cooper); and with his image it makes the media, who would take a roach for a spider, think he's a goth band. Not that he's done anything to help, but attained his success. Mind you, Manson is a genius, really. And I do reccomend his early work to you for the shock-rock tastes. But please acknowledge he's not a goth musician. I think it's sad we've been too focused on flameing you then we have educating you. I'd reccomend you starting off with real goth music, with the Sisters Of Mercy. If anything, they've inspired Manson with the occulist like imagery (note: their logo). Still, I think Harlequin's answer is still valid, seeing as he's still a babybat, everyone. Also, he covered Tainted Love by Soft Cell, not the Meatspin song  .

When I was in junior hight I used to listen to The Cure a lot:
Pornography
The Head On The Door

Concert
Wish
Disintegration
Then I started listening to Depeche Mode and I subsecuently discovered Nine Inch Nails and one thing left to another...

I was in college before I'd even heard of goth, except in a vague, disconnected sort of way. A friend told me I seemed like a goth, so I looked the word up online--the first song I stumbled across was, appropriately enough, Bela Lugosi's Dead.

Mine would probably be "Closer" NIN which got me into bands like Korn, Slipknot etc, and set the stage for 'gothier' music. Such as Souixie and things in that vein.

My first gothic rock song that led me into the genre was Even Angels Fall by The Cruxshadows.

Haha, I first got into the goth subculture after hearing "Christine" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Ever since I heard that song, I delved deeper and deeper into the world of gothic music, while dabbling in other genres such as symphonic rock (this is when I developed a taste for classical music, strangely enough).
I really do need to thank my uncle (an old goth from the late seventies, early eighties, he is) for having played "Siouxsie and the Banshees" that day. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sure if I would have ever discovered this wonderful genre of music, especially with the heavy influences of mainstream media.
Thank you uncle Poe! (A little nickname we call him, hee hee).

I didn't start by a song. I saw the 'The Doors' movie (with Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan) and that got me intensely interested in their musical style. From there I got a few albums by them and then started looking for similar things. My taste for, shall I say, 'darker' music basically grew from there.
The first The Doors song I remember listening to and deeply associating with was 'When the music's over'.

Might not exactly be gothic but..
Paradise Lost - The Painless..
As a matter of fact, seeing the clothing inspired me to research the gothic subculture.

Well, they're probably not Goth, but since they have Gothic elements, Cradle of Filth. It was the song, "Saffron's Curse" and I heard it on the radio. It was just so dark and mysterious. I had never heard anything with classical elements AND metal before and the late night heavy metal show I was listening to only played heavy metal- guitars, bass, drums, and it you're lucky, a keyboard or two! (heavier than the daytime music which was just basically alternative and hard rock). You know. Mushroomhead. Slipknot. Pantera. Metallica. Limp Bitzkit, Staind. Linkin Park. They played their more heavy metal music. Cradle of Filth totally opened up new avenues for me. The sound of the parting mists, the gurgling cauldron, the female voices, ok now i'll just stop. It was the beginning of a new era for me. From there, right around the same time, in no particular order I found Switchblade Symphony, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, Lacrimosa, etc.

Long before I even knew anything, I stayed up late one night as a kid to watch "The Lost Boys" on Cinemax. One of the songs that was played was "Cry Little Sister".
It was by the Sisters of Mercy

NOOOOO!
Sorry. A lot of people think that, but it's actually by some dude named Gerard McMann. It's weird, his voice sounds nothing like Andrew's, but I know a bazillion people who think that song is by the Sisters.
My mum played the Cure in the car when I was younger, but the first gothic song I found on my own was "Dominion/Mother Russia" by the Sisters of Mercy (I was thirteen). I've loved them ever since.

Really? Dang, the song I've had for years that I downloaded had it listed as the Sisters, but that was way before I downloaded more of their stuff. I never made that distinction that his and Andrew's voices were different.
Dunno why I never bothered to look up the soundtrack info.
