Im honestly really glad you didn't include bauhaus, the cure, and Siouxsie in the actual countdown. They're the bands that everyone knows and it was nice getting a few "new" bands in a top 10.
As much as I love the cure your are probably right
That said, try imagining goth without Bauhaus, the Cure, and Siouxsie. Even if you could live without their music, their influence is profound and undoubtedly coloured many favourites in this genre.
I nearly choked on my protein bar when you said you were not alive during 80s, that is when I was living my best life! I tend to forget my age (55) cause I don't feel it and still listen to all that old good music.
You should try som Ultra sour chem OG
I feel that deeply.
DIDDO🎯😁
Love the witching hour, the cramps, dead can dance, the wake, London after midnight
My father, who wasnt goth at all, had Clan of Xymox in his collection and the self-titled album catapulted my interest in the goth/post-punk world.
My condolences that you were not alive in the 80's to enjoy the greatest decade ever! Sisters of Mercy are my fave and First and Last and Always my fave album from them.
THANK YOU for not including Joy Division! I love them, but they appear on a ton of 80's band lists and they are not an 80's band!
Absolutely! I included Joy Division in my proto-goth records video that covered mostly dark post-punk from the late 70’s (linked below):
ua-cam.com/video/TvO8UYwxM4M/v-deo.html
I thought that the list would have Duran Duran, but then I just realized they were actually a New Romantic band.
@@Dino23968 Never really thought of Duran Duran as goth, more synth-pop. That being said, Depeche Mode is often said to "not be goth" and I still think they have some pretty goth songs.
Clan of Xymox are in my top 5 all time favorite bands and I cannot wait to finally see them live 🖤
My own favorite goth band from the '80s is Fields of the Nephilim, and it's always sad to see them get short shrift in lists like these. Still, as you say, it's all subjective, so no worries.
Awesome band!! They're in my top 5 of all time. I've got to say Siouxsie and the Banshees is my favorite.
Fields of the Nephelim is the first death rock band I ever heard and ,frankly, it's the only death rock band I've ever really liked. The Nordic death bands are a bit too reliant on heavy volume and are a tad cliche by me. I know Fields is an English group but they have an American West feel to them I can relate to. Their sound is legitimate because it is so gritty. Lately, I've been sampling a little Dark Country which I find kind of interesting.
@The Pentagenarian It's all subjective, we can all throw in our own preferences. Chameleons are niche even for a list of niche bands. I'd have Play Dead high in my list but again, it's all subjective.
Same here. To me the best Especially with The Nephilim & Sumerland albums being highlights.
i am a 56 year who lives in Leeds and got to see a lot of goth bands. The Mission was a band from leeds that had two members of the sisters of mercy. Ghostdance had another original member of The Sisters of Mercy and an original member of the Skeletal Family, who were the support band to the Sisters in '85. Fields of the Nephillim toured Yorkshire for every single let alone albums. Red Lorry supported the Mission in '86.
I just found your channel. As someone who’s trying to find out more about the goth subculture, your channel has been super helpful.
I’m so glad to here that! Welcome to the channel 🦇
I absolutely LOVE that the movie The Hunger (an 80's alternative vampire flick with David Bowie and Catherine Deneveux (probably spelled that wrong)), has Bauhaus playing Bela Lugosi's Dead in the intro scene. Not kidding! Opening scene is in a club with Bauhaus and Peter Murphy is in a cage singing the song. Absolutely beautiful.
I have a misprinted Clan of Xymox CD that says Caln of Xymox on the spine LOL
I love this series so much. You have introduced me to so many bands I’ve never listened to and now I LOVE them!! ❤️❤️
Xymox is coming to my city on my birthday--cannot wait! Thanks for this, an excellent countdown.
Thank you so much for the list!
Good top! My favourite band in your here are The March Violets, 45 Grave, Virgin Prunes, Xmal Deutschland and The Sisters of Mercy. And I also discover Paralisis Permanente :)
Thanks for your content!
Excellent list! Thank you for sharing this 🤗
Another great video! I always look forward to these. Looking forward to what you'll be putting together next.
Another great video and great choices thanks 😀❤️❤️
Great top 10!!
Great top 10 list, Kelly! It is not easy to choose the '80 bands. There were the dark roots. I enjoyed it!
Great list! I would have a hard time narrowing it down too. It'd be fun to do a countdown of the 10 best goth/post-punk/darkwave etc. album covers.
Really good list. There are a few bands I still need to check out from your list. Love Skeletal family! Thanks for posting. 👍👻💀🌙
Just found your channel and I have no regrets 🖤🤘🏻
I like your list A LOT!
Thank you for including two of my favorite bands, Parálisis Permanente and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, especially the latter, since they tend to be overlooked in Goth circles and are, in my opinion, criminally underrated.
i feel they were overlooked due to their incredibly stupid name :D
They made incredible music however!
@@catbwoy LMFAO!
Perhaps.
I love that shirt and thank you for the video.
I got some new bands to jam out to.
Omg this list makes me feel 100! All good memories 😊😊😊
You got good taste, my favorites were in your list
.
You got a new subscriber you got good taste in music
Thank you!! Loved this Music when I was a young adult. Sisters of Mercy is my fave
Excellent video as always sweetie and you had to make some tough choices!
Our 3 main 80s faves and influences on our music is the Cocteau twins,the cult and the mission :-)
Keep up the fab work sweetie and as usual you look beautiful :-)
Xxxx
I was listening to the Cocteau Twin earlier. I can't remember the last time someone else mentioned them.
@@nappykemps2590 they are a wonderful band and a massive influence on our music :-)
Great List! I'd honorable mention to Alien Sex Fiend. I LOVE Xymox! I've only seen a few of your videos so far so I don't know if you've mentioned Fields Of The Nephilim, their self titled album might be my favorite goth album, but they have always been a bit hasher then most goth bands.
54yr old 🇬🇧 female here. Fave all era band Sisters of Mercy, LP Floodland. ❤️🖤❤️🖤👍👍👍
Such a good list. I have seen most of these bands live (but I am old and from the north of England and was going to gigs in the 80's). Clan of Xmox are playing the Tomorrow's Ghosts festival at Whitby this November and are on the same night as She Past Away which I'm really pleased about.
Wow, Xymox and She Past Away? What a show! :D
@@CadaverKelly the whole weekend line up is good. October Burns Black and Altered are also on with Xmox and the Saturday line up has Inkubus Sukkubus, Grooving in Green and Wayne Hussey from the Mission doing a solo set :-)
@@CadaverKelly I'm not sure if you read a lot of non music related stuff but if you do, do you know that Rosie Garland (singer from The March Violets) is a poet and novelist? Not only did she write and perform as Rosie Lugosi Vampire Queen but has poetry and three novels under her actual name. She is really good (and I'm not just saying that because she's my friend). The Palace of Curiosities, Vixen and The Night Brother are the titles in case you fancy checking them out :-)
I've been into classic rock I've been into metal I've been into grunge I've been into modern alternative. Time to jump into goth
I was alive during the 80s (and part of the original Deathrock / Goth scene) and as far as I'm concerned, you've identified all of the most important bands from that era. Nice work!
I liked your video until 03:45. The came the big surprise: Parálisis Permanente! Someone outside Spain knows them! In year 2019! :)
Thanks, Kelly. You really made my day.
Pink Turns Blue Your Master Is Calling 1985. Incredible song.
I'm glad you included some non-anglophone bands. :)
I'd no idea that Xyomx had been going so long! It's always a sign of being groundbreaking that you put think they're more recent than they are. Shriekback's /Nemesis/ is another song that I always do this to.
I randomly picked out Xmal Deutschland and Xymox from the "XYZ" section of Tower Records imports around 1986. My luck was amazing!
I was a teenager in the 80s, The Cult, The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, Fields Of Nephilim,All About Eve,
I was actually at the first Sisters of Mercy gig, fantastic. Living in Leeds from 1980 and working in the F Club where many bands like Sisters, Killing Joke, Cramps etc played. I would have to include the Fields of the Nephilim and The Mission in my top five, but there is a hidden gem of a goth band that went unnoticed. Gargoyle Sox from detroit, check out the mini album As The Master Sleeps. I became good friends with John (the main man in the band) and received many cds and unrealised tracks through their ever changing transformations. From Gargoyle Sox, Rubber, Trunc, Trapdoor Spiders and now Gravetown. If you can find this album (Headless Horseman also) Pink Little Playhouse is the stand out track
Nice to see Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry, March Violets, and Play Dead (from your proto goth list) get mentioned. You might find Wasted Youth (English version) interesting. Try "Housewife" from 1981, if you're curious.
Nice!!!!👏🏻
Good choices here and I love your taste in music. Gene Loves Jezebel is one of my favorites from the 80's not mentioned here I know you can't include everyone but thought I'd mention them here. Maybe you can do a video on some bands you like that have more than 10 albums. That's would be a challenge. Keep up the good work.🥰♀️🖤🤘❤️
Thank you! That’s a great idea for a video. I’m actually going to see Gene Loves Jezebel live in 2 weeks. 😊
@@CadaverKelly Oh that's great. Is it Michael Aston's band or Jay's band? I guess there are 2 bands using the name. Oh well that's life.♀️🖤🤘
@@paigedemeyer7265 It’s Jay’s band. Rosegarden Funeral Party and Bootblacks are opening. Should be a great show!
@@CadaverKelly sounds good to me. I do like Jay's music better but that's my opinion. Have you heard Indarra? Former Rhea's Obsession singer Sue Hutton formed another band and put out an album in 2015 and it's really good. No follow up to it unfortunately that I know of. They're on Metropolis records. I wouldn't be surprised if you know this already. Lol. ♀️🖤🤘🙂
@@paigedemeyer7265 I haven’t heard it yet but I’ll check it out! 🙂
Love this I grew up with these and the nineties I'm an elder goth! CLAN OF XYMOX!!!!!!!!!!
Good picks! My favs not included are Dance Society and Early Cocteau Twins (really just the first album is goth).
Oh and the chameleons, how can I forgot. If you count them.
Oh snap, Clan of Xymox is playing here in November:)
I live in Leeds ❤️ the guy from sisters of mercy still plays.
You should make a video for top 10 Ethereal Wave bands
I'm seeing The Sisters of Mercy soon. Hopefully it will be good. I have been arguing with myself if I should still go because I can't get the next day off work, but Ben Christo is their guitarist at the moment.. so hell yes I'm still going. And Sisters is a legendary band, so I have to go really. I saw Peter Murphy last year, he was amazing. I saw the Cure years ago, and loved them too. Can I call them the unholy trinity? I'm going to. So by november, I will have seen the now 'Unholy Trinity' of Goth.
You have exquisite taste.
This video is precious, thank you! I totally agree with all of these bands, this top 10 goes to the very core of the 80s goth. We are waiting for another top 10, something like part 2. S&B are still largely ignored by RnR Hall of Fame - a shame and disrespect from this sh..ty "institution", since it inducted so many bands that were directly influenced by S&B. Not to mention Siouxsie alone, a powerful, uncompromising frontwoman, who simply cleaned the path for generations of musicians to come.
The Hall of Fame tends to induct artists who've had a big commercial impact in the US, I'm not sure that the Banshees ever really broke through in a big way there. Not worth worrying about really, I bet Siouxsie doesn't care.
WONDERFUL T-SHIRT 😍😍😍
CoX is fantastic live! I hope you have an amazing time 🙂
I was born in 1982 it was cool times for me when I turn 9 years old
Just ideas for other countdown video: Female fronted bands. I'd love to learn about your favorites. And classic deathrock bands. :)
I will definitely do both of those at some point in the future! 😊
Great choices ,I think my number 1 would have to be The Mission 🖤🦇🦇
As someone who was around in the 80's the distinction between subgenres and even genres themselves weren't as rigid. Clubs that catered to "goths" would play goth rock, early industrial (like Dig It by Skinny Puppy and Over the Shoulder by Ministry), darker synthpop like Depeche Mode or Modern English, New Order. etc. Even the fashion overlapped really. I was mainly into hardcore (like Minor Threat) but my friends and I were Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and The Cure fans. At the time, all of these bands were a vast alternative to popular music and mainstream radio.
Another example is The Misfits although a hardcore-horror-punk band all the goths I knew loved them.
PS: You also left Alien Sex Fiend!
I'm an 80s goth. Its quite fun to see these lists showing how people now still enjoy the old bands, and who they prefer. Although all these bands were quite well known back in the day, I don't think half of them would've featured in most people's top ten. Your list is quite unique haha
mY Favorite Bands 80s > Clan of Xymox, The Mission UK and The Cult ... Saludos México!
great bands...
Big 🎯Virgin Prunes🎯Fan Ova Here🤘💯
What about the damned : phantasmagoria album of 1985 . Sanctum sanctorum song a real classic .
What do you think about skinny puppy
Quite an era!
Christian Death, Alien Sex Fiend & Fields of the Nephilim not included, but some neverheardof Spanish band with only one album released included. Haha, weird... If you like obscure bands then try ex Yugoslavian (Croatian) band from the 1980s, Paraf - Zastave. You can find it on YT.
Hard agree with Clan of Xymox. COX is my all time favorite band hands down. Wonderful 💜
What about early Skinny Puppy?
What about The Mission? 🦇
You couldn't pick just one Sisters of Mercy album? That's OK, I couldn't either.
But seriously - very good video.
I forgot haw old clan of xymox was. I thank it the sound they have. Nice list. : )
Yeah, The March Violets, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and X-Mal Deutschland!
I LOVE MEDUSA!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
Good choice Lady Cadaver Kelly I’m stocked add a Spanish Post Punk as Your list Goth Bands of the 90s I like foreign languages one is Spanish even though I’m Mexican American ancestry .
But hey that’s good start.
🖤 FIFTY FIVE YEAR OLD VIRGIN 🖤
I have the bauhaus record what's the worthprice? Mint feedback is respected
10,000 pounds!
Serious??
@@droppin233 of course not! Probably about. $100 u.s. at the high end unless there is something super special about the pressing or the individual record.
Of course Clan of Xymox is #1!
My favorite goth bands which I think are more post-punk
-Joy Division
-The Cure
-The Birthday Party
-Christian Death
-Siouxsie And The Banshees
-Bauhaus/Peter Murphy
-Type O Negative (more gothic metal/doom metal)
I also like psychobilly bands which have gothic influences
Absolutely love Type O Negative!
Nice list of trad Goth Bands - I like the T Shirt.
Nice shirt
Kinó is Post Punk?
💜
Paralisis Permanente were magical. Do you like The Cramps?
I love The Cramps! 🖤
12 Dislikes are all from Andrew Eldritch since you called him goth
The Mission?
You didn't even list Fields of Nephilim. They are number 1 on so many lists yet they didn't even get a mention. This is unless your wanting to widen others knowledge.
Sorry! These are my personal favorites and I’m not a big FoTN fan
How can you leave Type O Negative off of your list? I absolutely love them?
Because this is a list of 80s bands perhaps?
because they are neither from the 80s nor goth???? 90s goth adjacent perhaps but def not 80s goth.
If anyone wants to dig deeper I highly suggest:

Holy Cow: ua-cam.com/video/Cu1bjNfGfW8/v-deo.html
Kommunity FK: ua-cam.com/video/OiCpfZXjbsk/v-deo.html
ok but like- idk if this counts since their more post-punk, but my favorite is pink turns blue!
Yes! CoX the best
anyway in Italy we have and we have a little dark goth scene 🥰

If you'd seen Leeds in the late 70's/early 80's then the number of Goth bands formed there would make perfect sense. Hell, any city in Britain at that time really.
Aren't the Cure a 70's band? Otherwise cool selection!
Thank you! 😊 The Cure started out in the late 70’s but didn’t release any goth music until the 80’s.
@@CadaverKelly Allright then... Btw this list could be top 30 or 40.
If I Die, I Die is yummy Virgin Prunes
Dead Can Dance?
Should I drink coffee watching gothic video?
46 year old goth from New Orleans
I've searched for many years to find a bridge to the new goth era
You young lady are that bridge
You are approachable about modern goth music in all of its various vicissitudes yet you don't come off as snobbish turn Undead Relic like myself
Siouxsie's my favorite too 2 although I would have had to go with Tinder Box or kaleidoscope
Give me slight case of overbombing and third a coin toss over position for third to either Japanese Whispers or any Joy Division album
There you have musically... Me
For years I swore up and down that I would not listen to anything new that all the new stuff is garbage I said over and over with nothing to turn to in modern times except for effervescence or avenging Sevenfold both of which I highly detest
But you my dear have suggested such Beauties as drab Majesty who am I very much of my own dear Depeche Mode
Black marble and holygram we're enjoyed too
From this I researched what I could and ended up on a recent diet of minimalist darkwave and synthwave
Tasty
And I blame this all on you madam for it was your light into the present which gave me the first fresh Taste of goth
And what do you know from a fellow Siouxsie fan
Would love a letter from you if you ever have the time.
I'm asking you Louie, from you're Lastat... to be my lifeline into the light
Ciao, bella
This was such a wonderful comment to wake up to! Thank you for taking the time to write it. I’m so glad to hear you’re finding modern goth music you can connect to. 😊
