I've heard it's regional and that the US lost their distribution rights. But I'm not sure how true that is. All I know is I have the CD and record ordered.
This is such a hard but good question! I have so many favorites, Bite My Hip is definitely one of my favorites, too.
If I had to choose, I would pick Kiss or The Bondage Song by London After Midnight. I love a lot of London After Midnight songs. Also love Spiritual Cramp by Christian Death. The Halloween 2019 remix with Creux Lies is great.
Other songs I love are Bats by The Scary Bitches, Cold by The Cure and We All Die by In Death It Ends.
The Cure's "Charlotte Sometimes" is my favorite song of all time, period, so it wins by default. 😝
That said, the song I was always happiest to hear at the club was Chameleons' "Swamp Thing".
(picturing the presumably-departed goths materializing out of the walls and floorboards, then dramatically stomping their way back to the dance floor 😂)
100 years- the cure
Stigmata martyr- Bauhaus
In your lungs- Street fever
Aurorae- triptykon
Time baby II- medicine
Sight of you- pale saints
Fond affections- This Mortal coil
A light so dim- the black heart procession
It's a three way tie between Lucretia My Reflection by Sisters of Mercy, Burn by The Cure, and Shadows by Twin Tribes...
But if I had to choose one, it'd have to be Shadows, that song is just too damn good!
'Last Will and Testament' by Nox Novacula
or 'Waiting for the Fall' by Nox Novacula (also called "Waiting')
Both songs hit something deep within me and gives me shivers.
She’s in Parties. Bauhaus.
New Dawn Fades. Joy Division.
Shadowplay. Joy Division.
Cities in Dust. Siouxsie.
A Forest. The Cure.
Now You’re Dead. The Ghost.
American Gothic. Bells Bells Bells.
Cossacks Are. Scott Walker.
Black Planet. The Sisters of Mercy.
If we can call it goth, definitely “Pictures of You” by the Cure. It has such a dreamy, starry, ethereal touch to it while kinda cascading all over the place. Definitely hits my top 10 songs of all time in general :)
If we’re looking at something more classically goth, I’m in-between “She’s In Parties” (Bauhaus) & “Party’s Fall” (Siouxsie & TB) (Dunno what’s up with the party theme 😂)
One of my favorite bands I listened to growing up. It's unfortunate that I never see them or hear about them from the younger generations, but I'm very happy to introduce everyone to them.
Dreadful Shadows - Figures of Disguise
They have so many more amazing songs.
It's hard to choose from all the obscure goth bands I've gathered over the years that I listen to now, but Dreadful Shadows has had my heart since I first heard them in the 90's.
Bauhaus Spirit
We love our audience, we love our audience, we love our audience, we love our audience! Every time I hear that song now, I'm like, we love you, too lol.
You picked well, I got that on vinyl, I think my personal favourite is either dominion by sisters of mercy, dark entries by bauhaus or Israel by siouxie and the banshees, favourites change a lot honestly
Pictures of you - The Cure. The long extended version is a hypnotic-goth-rumble at its best, an all time favorite of mine.
Bela Legosi is Dead - Bauhsus and a 1000 years - The Cure to me set the tone for the goth sound I like the best.
My favorite is Human Fly by The Cramps
But some of my other favorites include
Shoom by TR/ST
Give me a reason by Selofan
Disco by Sextile
*not entirely sure the last one counts as goth but it’s so fun*
Bauhaus - She's in Parties
I love Bauhaus🖤🖤🖤
So many amazing Bauhaus songs - I couldn’t pick!
She’s in Parties is *ridiculously* good 👀 I can never get enough of that one everytime I put it on
actually a banger
Here this once is enough to lift my spirits
Came here to say this
real
Absolutely slaps
This was my answer as well
FANTASTIC SONG. Peter Murphy has an incredible voice. https://youtu.be/Qxqq5vahHKk?si=uPM0kT58OUwYo3dy
night shift - suoixie and the banshees
I nearly cried when it was taken off Spotify
Why was it taken off?
looks like the whole album was taken off spotify? what gives?
I've heard it's regional and that the US lost their distribution rights. But I'm not sure how true that is. All I know is I have the CD and record ordered.
Just been blasting that out from my Record Store Day Nocturne reissue
ITS SO GOOD
Live in Royal Albert Hall ....
i freaking love this song
Sisters of Mercy- 'Marian '
Same🖤🖤
Is it bad that I’ve cried to that song
Not at all. I've felt a wealth of deep emotions from goth and post punk music respectively.
The Sisters of Mercy-Some Kind of Stranger.
Nice! (And I feel like I just found my brother’s Reddit account - totally his favorite song)
In the flat field by Bauhaus
omg that guitar bassline is so good
One of a few songs that enters my head randomly
Sames
Came here to say this
Me too
Love Like Blood by Killing Joke
At this point in time I’ll have to say Disintegration by The Cure, but my answer could change depending on my mood haha
Classic :)

London After Midnight is AMAZING!!! “Demon” is pretty high up on my list of fav songs too
The Bondage Song is def one of my most favorite songs ever
LAM is one of my fav bands rn too! My fav is prob Claire’s horrors :D
Cuts you up peter murphy
The Godfather of Goth!!!
The Cure's "Charlotte Sometimes" is my favorite song of all time, period, so it wins by default. 😝 That said, the song I was always happiest to hear at the club was Chameleons' "Swamp Thing".
"Swamp Thing" packs the floor, every time. People we had presumed to have left for the night crawl out of the woodwork for it. 🖤
(picturing the presumably-departed goths materializing out of the walls and floorboards, then dramatically stomping their way back to the dance floor 😂)
This is the most concise example of goth rock, and my personal favorite
Cascade- Siouxsie and the banshees
Omg I thought I was the only one obsessed with that song. It’s my favorite song of theirs. 🖤
Wax and Wane by Cocteau Twins.
That shit slaps so freaking hard I loved Cocteau Twins before I even knew I was goth… should’ve known
Fantasmas- twin tribe
Great pick!!! That was one of the first goth songs I’ve ever listened to actually.
It’s so great!!
Twin triiiiiiibes, quickly became my favorite goth band, they’re so consistent
This one lives rent free in my head
Lebanon hanover - gallowdance 🖤 (sadly i’m not as into the rest of their songs 😢)
Have you heard “Kiss Me Until My Lips Fall Off” 🥹
That gets stuck in my head every one in a while
That’s my fav
Still a good pick! You don’t have to like the band to like the song :)
My pick, as well 🖤 so timeless and fits every mood
Idk if it counts, but This Corrosion by sisters of mercy. I also like time baby III I'm a baby bat so idk much lol
They say that every goth who passes away joins the choir in that song...
Ahh well, if I hadn't already signed up to join the black parade I'd love to join them
That absolutely counts. My favorite too!
Yayyy lol
Based it’s so good
Yesss it's so catchy
The Sisters of Mercy - Adrenochrome (extra points for the conspiracy theories that exploded over this “substance” during the pandemic)
autosuficiencia by parálisis permanente or night shift by siouxsie and the banshees
Autosuficiencia is such an good pick imo 🖤 it was how I breadcrumbed a friend into goth music
i believe you can survive by lebanon hanover and double dare by bauhaus
Day of the Lords- Joy Division
Same
Dark Entries by Bauhaus.
You’ll End Up Looking Like the Scary Bitches!!
BASEDDDD
Probably “Blood Bitch” or “Wax and Wane” by Cocteau Twins
The Cure-A Forest is simple but haunting. Also the first goth song I heard so it has to be it
Egypt by voodoo church has to be up there.
Rituel by She Past Away
Siouxsie and The Banshees • Painted Bird
Sex dwarf
The OG is Bela Lugosi's Dead, but my personal favorite is In the Flat Field ❤️
Morphine-Boy Harsher
Christian Death - Ashes
Persephone - Cocteau Twins
everyday is halloween by ministry; the bwah-bwahbwah beat is so fun and my normie bf loves it too 🖤
I was looking to see if anyone picked this song, always one of my favorites 🎃

Maybe cuz it’s my birthday, always felt an affinity to that song, ever since I first heard it 🎃✨
Black Cathedral by This Cold Night
My favourite is The Sisters of Mercy Lucretia

Asylum Party - La Nuit
dead disco dancer by o. children
Spiritual Cramp.
Bauhaus - Kick in the eye
From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea - the Cure
Clan of Xymox - Jasmine & Rose
It's a three way tie between Lucretia My Reflection by Sisters of Mercy, Burn by The Cure, and Shadows by Twin Tribes... But if I had to choose one, it'd have to be Shadows, that song is just too damn good!
Sparks by faith and the muse
Passion of Lovers- Bauhaus
Lullaby-The Cure
This Corrosion by Sisters of Mercy was already mentioned, but it's a tie between that and Die Laughing's Glamour and Suicide.
THIS CORROSION IS SO GOOD
Blasphemous Rumours by Depeche Mode
Good but not Goth.
The Cure - The Holy Hour
Bauhaus - in the flat field
Hall of Mirrors - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Sex Gang Children - Mauritia Mayer
Sisters of Mercy - Flood II
Such an underrated song
In between days- the cure! I listen to it all the time lol
everything siouxsie, but besides that i'd say diva destruction - the broken ones
If Cocteau Twins count as goth, it's "Treasure Hiding," from the Milk and Kisses album.
Now I’m Feeling Zombified by Alien Sex Fiend
Lucretia My Reflection by Sisters Of Mercy on repeat for hours upon hours
ITS SO GOOD
ISTG ITS LIKE THEY PUT DRUGS IN THE SONG SO I CANT STOP LISTENING

Thats crazy lol they play at the goth club like all the time
you do not scare me- Altar de fey Atleast for right now it’ll probably change in a week haha
'Last Will and Testament' by Nox Novacula or 'Waiting for the Fall' by Nox Novacula (also called "Waiting') Both songs hit something deep within me and gives me shivers.

If we can call it goth, definitely “Pictures of You” by the Cure. It has such a dreamy, starry, ethereal touch to it while kinda cascading all over the place.

Kiss me til my lips fall off by Lebanon Hanover
Man with the X Ray Eyes - Bauhaus

Dreadful Shadows - Figures of Disguise They have so many more amazing songs. It's hard to choose from all the obscure goth bands I've gathered over the years that I listen to now, but Dreadful Shadows has had my heart since I first heard them in the 90's.

Sonny’s burning by the birthday party
Sounds cliche but I get excited whenever I hear Temple of Love.
TEMPLE OF LOVE SLAYS SO HARDDDDDD
It really does. That opening guitar riff and I’m definitely singing at the top of my lungs the moment it gets to the chorus.

Disintegration by The Cure
Disintegration - The Cure
Pictures of you - The Cure. The long extended version is a hypnotic-goth-rumble at its best, an all time favorite of mine. Bela Legosi is Dead - Bauhsus and a 1000 years - The Cure to me set the tone for the goth sound I like the best.
You always eat the ones you love - scary bitches Peak creature vibes
My favorite is Human Fly by The Cramps But some of my other favorites include Shoom by TR/ST Give me a reason by Selofan Disco by Sextile *not entirely sure the last one counts as goth but it’s so fun*
