[polished_wolf_claws]

I appreciater some of the bauhaus.
I like siouxie, sisters of mercy, switchblade symph
Never was one for the cure.... and I didn't like joy division much either.

[Deadhymn]

Here's one no one mentioned. I imagine none of you will recognize it either. Oh some will claim to, but its more like you fucking googled it....

Rosetta Stone.

oh and Leather Strip was fucking brilliant.
How's about Bowie? the Berlin period was a bit 'gothish'
and not that I like them much, but Type O Negative must qualify as old by now...it's been what? 16 years at least?

MÖtley Crue MÖtley CrÜe MÖtley CrÜe MÖtley CrÜe MÖtley CrÜe MÖtley CrÜe

[rockandrose]

I'm also a big fan of Motley Crue.

Why don't you give your reasons to why you like the band rather than pointlessly repeating their name in your post.

[Unholy_Traitor]

Why do you even care??? I just like the way it sounds: Mötley Crüe... Okey then, I'm a huge fan of nikki sixx, he's a great song writer and he fuckin' rocks!!!! good enough reason???

[chinacorpse]

where find them ???did you tell me the website? thks

[Manimal]

old bands... well I always kind of liked Deep Purple, Nazereth, Steve Miller, early Black Sabbath. Oh yeah, who could forget the first few Scorpions albums? Great stuff. I never really cared for the Doors, Beatles, ZZTop, ACDC and bands like that. There's more on the likes and dislikes but you get the general idea.

Bauhaus, Sisters, Cure, Sousxie, Coctau Twins... they don't seem like old bands to me.

[cyberJade]

Who likes the older goth bands?
I like Bauhaus, Joy Division and Siouxsie and the banshees.

I do, I love them. These are the classics, well there are more, but I'm too lazy to make list.

[Unholy_Traitor]

I'm so into the heavy metal and hard rock that was in the 80's. Like Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Guns N' Roses, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Dio, AC/DC, Poison and L.A Guns. Next year me and my boyfriend are going on Deep Purple consert and meet the band backstage. I can't wait!!!

[Unholy_Traitor]

I'm also a big KISS fan... I'm watching Kiss meet the phantom of the park right now... LOL

[Demonista_Ravenesque]

My favourite older gothic rock band?

Sex.
Gang.
Children.

That is all.

Rosetta Stone.

Thanks for the assumption that we're liars. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are not Keeping Secrets Telling Lies. There is no Subterfuge here. If Only And Sometimes you'd have a Deeper trust of your fellow Darkside aficionados. I don't need to "fucking" google Rosetta Stone. I watched the video for Adrenaline just yesterday, and I have a strong inclination to name my next pair of pets Shadow and Shade.

I really like Die Laughing and The Wake (U.S.). Though they're from the early '90s, they have a sound like the '80s bands.

I'll also mention Big Electric Cat.

[MrMaelstrom]

Shriekback, The Stranglers, OMD, Classic Noveaux, Ultravox, Front Line Assembly, Terdrop Explodes, the Mighty Lemon Drops, The Waterboys, The Glove, Front 242, Anne Clarck, The Mission, Diamanda Galas, Lush, Slowdive, The Cranes, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Sigue Sigue Sputnik

I like Siouxsie and the banshees,just listening to Twice Upon a Time - The Singles album as this girl, Ellie sent me it i love it esp Peek-A-Boo!

[Old Spider]

Please don't forget the first album from The The: Burning Blue Soul. Serious music. One man.

[Metatron]

I don't see it mentioned, but...Alien Sex Fiend - I like a lot of their stuff.

[LightPollution07]

I love Joy division and Siouxsie and the banshees. its so...bold

[LightPollution07]

and sisters of mercy

[Jane13]

I think most of these have been said, but Siouxsie and The Banshees, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Tom Waits, The Pixies, Alien Sex Fiend, The Bauhaus, The Cure (I've always thought that the Bauhaus are like the sex pistols and the cure is like the clash for some reason...) The Smiths, The Birthday Party, Killing Joke, Ministry, The Swans, Legendary Pink Dots...

those are the oldest goth/post punk bands I can think of that I like at the moment... I wouldn't consider Clan of Xymox that old, although they are one of my favorite bands. "Creatures" was the first good CD that I ever baught.

[gothictuesday]

I love classic goth, and I love to act like it's as mainstream as classic rock.

I bought a Bauhaus CD (The Sky's Gone Out) last year and was listening to it with my dad, and he said, "Wow, these guys are really avante garde!" so I was able to say in my most scathing tone of voice, "DAD, this is CLASSIC GOTH!" (just kidding about the scathing tone of voice )
