Goth compilations

So what would you guys recommend for a gothic compilation CD?


What are the 'essential' songs that you think anyone would need to know in the genre that likes to dance?








Yeah, I changed the fucking thread! Pedah's not dead, he's just a goddamned wanker!!!

:shock:

And what the hell does everyone have against Vanilla Ice?

:P Yeah, ok. If I EVER say that outloud, Xng can pee on me, Jade can steal my chocolate and Maimy (bless her) can call me Clarissa as Wolfmoon makes me watch Asian Lesbian Porn!..
...ok so it isn't really torture...

How about "dark classical"? Snippets from Phantom of the Opera, a bit of Vaulkner(sp?)....? Moonlight Sonata is pretty...and that bit of piano that "Tom Cruise" played in "Interview..."? If you like that sort of thing.

I can't believe I forgot Shriekback and Killing Joke. I find it harder to believe someone in their early 20's knows Shriekback.... You got older goths in your family or cicle of friends?

I dedicate the song I posted in the What are you list... to Binkie and BP

for BP: "...run away and hide from everyone..."

" for Binks: Don’t answer me, don’t break the silence, Don’t let me win..."

And what's a goth compilation without sad songs? Tired of The Cure?
Then try "I Just Can't Smile Without You" bby Barry Manilow or "Love On The Rocks" by Neil Diamond.

Wot? They're sad, aren't they? Just like George Michael's "Careless Whisper" and Phil Collins' "Agains All Odds". Am I getting carried away here? Anybody remember "Self Control" by Laura Brannigan?

Yes people, I like all of those songs. Gotta problem widat? :evil:

Ok we'll try this again from the top..

Step One - Light it..

Step Two - Hit It, long and hard..

Pause

Pause

Pause


Step Three - ( And this is the MOST important one ) EXHALE!!!!

I can only attribute the above ^^^ psychotic break from proper musical reality to a lack of Oxygen to your Medulla, due to the fact you skipped "Step Three" and went right back to "Step Two" instead..

We'll try to keep to this ugly blemish off of your 'God of Perpetual Smoothness' record..

K???

Alan Parsons? How'd you get into them? Did you mistake a line in one of their songs for, "I'm high in the sky?" :lol:

No, but seriously... everyone into new wave and 80s goth should know Shriekback damnit.

Man, we used to dance our friggin asses off at the club to Nemesis..

And yes I still listen to it..

Yeah, I am a Fossil..

:P

In the jungle of the senses
Tinkerbell and Jack the ripper
Love has no meaning not where they come from
But we know pleasure is not that simple
Very little fruit is forbidden
Sometimes we wobble sometimes we're strong
But you know evil is an exact science
Being carefully correctly wrong


Priests and cannibals prehistoric animals
Everybody's happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home

We feel like Greeks we feel like Romans
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
We drink elixirs that we refine
From the juices of the dying
We are not monsters we're moral people
And yet we have the strength to do this
This is the splendor of our achievment
Call in the airstrike with a poison kiss


How bad it gets you can't imagine
The burning wax the breath of reptiles
God is not mocked he knows his buisness
Karma could take us at any moment
Cover him up I think we're finished
You know it's never been so exotic
But I don't know my dreams are visions
We could still end up with the great big fishes!

Ha! I found my mix CD!

On it:

1. Bela Lugosi's Dead ~ Bauhaus

2. Stripped ~ Depeche Mode

3. Beers, Steers & Queers ~ The Revolting Cocks

4. Hallowe'en ~ Ministry(So that counts as 2 Ministry songs, right Loy?)

5. Away ~ The Bolshoi

6. Cities In Dust ~ Siouxsie and the Banshees

7. Confusion ~ Rammstein

8. Hungry Like the Wolf ~ Duran Duran(what?)

9. Blue Monday ~ New Order

10. Bizarre Love TRiangle ~ New Order

11. You Spin Me(Right 'Round) ~ Dead or Alive

It's mostly what's normally playing on 'olde school' night when I go to the club. I didn't have room for all the songs I liked. Gonna have to make another CD!

Binks, boot-scootin boogey? What the hell is wrong with you?

:P

My playlist shows my newness. But someday it'll be old and forgotten, adn I can laugh at the younger goths.

but seriously, if I were going to make a goth Cd for someone I would include:

Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus Because you can't not know this song.
The Division - Android Lust Probably my favorite song of hers.
Friday I'm in Love - The Cure Goth compilation w/out the Cure? Surely you jest.
The last Beat of my Heart - Siouxsie and the Banshees Probably one of my favorites of hers.
Vampyre Erotica - Inkubus Sukkubus Self explanitory.
Dig Ophelia - Rasputina Shows off their style well.
When You're Evil - Voltaire Same deal.
The Witch - Rosetta Stone Makes me think of a shoe store. *shrug*
Temple of Love - Sisters of Mercy Defintly the extended version, too.
Cry Little Sister - Carfax Abbey (LAM cover) I like this song, and it's what got me into Carfax Abbey.
Shatter - London After Midnight "I'd sooner slit my wrist and risk discovery of hell, than stay another moment here where certain devils dwell"
Cassandra - the Cruxshadows Rachel's voice teh sex. Rogue's not half bad himself.
Honor - VNV Nation One of my favorite VNV songs.
Take on Me - Aha Almost passes for a Sisters of Mercy song. :wink:

the remaining couple soungs would be Dead Can Dance or the Shroud, or maybe Qntal or teh Velvet Underground. Probably throw in a Black Tape for Blue Girl song too, depending on who I'm making it for. (Is just thropwing out names of bands that I can't decide on songs for ignore as you will)

Johnny Cash was goth before Robert Smith first whined.

He was the FIRST performer to WEAR ALL BLACK.

He sang songs about death constantly, and in a lot of them HE was the murderer. I can think of four off the top of my head, I am sure there is more.

And unlike a fugly like Morrissey, he did time in prison, drugs, hard drugs, drank, got into fights, and played for prisoners.


Wolfy on this you have no clue what you are talking about, sorry. How can you know about someone or something when you never listen to them or their genre? Seriously. ^_^

*sets down two pennies*

Johnny Cash is hte man in black. He's a great song writer.

But he's not goth.

Neither is Edgar Allen Poe.

Or Brah Stoker.

All of them were around before goth as a genre exhisted in the arena htey wrote their works in.

They may be hte perfect embodiment of gothic ideas. But if you'd have called Edgar Allen Poe a goth, he would have looked at you oddly and pointed to a cathedral and said that it was gothic, or maybe wax lyrical on the sacking of Rome.

Int his way, he is not goth.

But, in the ways that matter, he is.

So you're both right. :P
