>Dark-punk's most overrated artist, Siouxsie has left behind very few compositions that deserve to be remembered. Most of her "music" was actually attitude, and therein lies her importance. She was an icon, and undoubtedly influenced bands worldwide. Goth-rock would not be a widespread phenomenon without her. But, unlike her model Nico, she was "only" an icon, and never a musician. Thanks to heavy promotion from major labels since the beginning of her career, she did achieve a bigger commercial success that the rest of dark-punk's emaciated ranks but at the expense of sacrifing whatever little originality her music had. If nothing else, the commercial scam helped give the genre some credibility with labels, which in turn materialized in a broader acceptance of gothic music worldwide. That is what Siouxsie will be remembered for.

there's nothing comfier than reading Vampire Hunter D with some goth roc in the background
preferably Fields of the Nephilim cause it's got that spaghetti western feel to it
Ryan Parker
does anyone have a band that's black metal but has a similar style to Type-O-Negative?
That'd be my favorite
Alexander Ramirez
Subjects for Further Research [1980s]: She has her cult--an army of black-clad college students eagerly waiting for the world to end. But though many Johnny Rotten fans proved smarter than Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Pseud wasn't one of them. Since like Jim Morrison she disguises the banality of her exoticism with psychedelic gimmicks best consumed at their hookiest, the nightmare vignettes on her 1981 best-of were of a piece even though they spanned three years of putative artistic development. After that I kept waiting for Siouxsie to end. But she left a lot of product in her wake, and for all I know it conceals another best-of.

i'm interested in early examples of dream pop, and post-punk/goth shit that incorporates "dreamy" textures into their music, stuff like chameleons and lowlife.
anyone got some similar recs?
Hunter Harris
Type O neg is basically doom metal spliced with mediocre late goth rock
don't think it's possible to add BM to that
Christian Morgan
Whaddya mean by "dreamy"?
like, fuckn reverb?
cause goth rock has plenty of that already
and dreampop is just lullabies and nursery rhymes with reverb added on top
Jaxon Murphy
tl;dr she was a Sex Pistols fangirl and basically a punk wannabe
Cameron Cox
I guess I'm looking for the vocals and guitars with black metal influences? I guess it is already too autistic to inject black metal into, but I think it'd sound cool
Gavin Smith

>the sisters of mercy all three
but their best stuff is in the early singles and EPs
Some Girls Wander/Reptile House >>> Floodland > First and last>>>>>>>>>>>> Vision Thing
the rest of the list is ok, but I dig "Faith" more than "Pornography"
Also, you might want to get into Killng Joke although I wouldnt consider them "darkwave"
Early The Cult is good too but Fields of The Nephilim first 3 albums are god tier
Elijah Gutierrez
bleak
great song
i feel like BM or dungeon synth would go great with some parts of Vampire Hunter D too
or early visual kei even youtube.com

Gothic Rock
1: The Bolshoi-Giants EP
2: The Bolshoi-Friends
3: Big Electric Cat-Dreams of a Mad King
4: Killing Joke-Night Time (more mixed genre than Gothic Rock but it has some goth songs like "Love Like Blood")
5: Sad Lovers and Giants-Epic Garden Music (a mix of typical Post-Punk and early Gothic Rock)
6: Cocteau Twins-Garlands (They invented Ethereal Wave, but this first release is abrasive Gothic Rock)
7: Lords of The New Church-Lords of The New Church (a harder sound to Gothic Rock)
8: The Damned-Phantasmagoria
9: And Also The Trees-The Millpond Years
(Good in winter)
10: Red Lorry Yellow Lorry-Talk About The Weather
As for Dark Wave I'm personally biased against lots of stuff but I'll try to keep it well rounded.
1: Clan of Xymox-albums 1-3, these invented Dark Wave starting with their moody self-titled first blending Gothic Rock with synths, refining and freezing their sound with Medusa, and making a more accessible 3rd.
2: Dead Can Dance-Dead Can Dance (not Dark Wave in the typical sense, more to do with its atmosphere)
3: Drab Majesty-The Demonstration
4: Wolfsheim-No Happy View
5: Eleven Pond-Bas*Relief
6: Eleven Pond-Assemblage
7: Mittageisen-Mittageisen (Dark Wave Contenporary with Clan of Xymox)
8: Psyche-Unveiling The Secret
9: Xmal Deutschland-Tocsin
10: The Frozen Autumn: Fragments of Memories
There's loads more but these will keep you busy.
Henry Wilson
yes but the big question is: what would go well with all the rape and implied rape and attempted rape?
Cause rape is like 20% of the Vampire Hunter D books.
then there's 50% of D making everyone pop a boner (including zombies)
and the remaining 30% is action and plot and atmosphere and worldbuilding and whatnot.

How long before we reject this guy's opinions? Sup Forums of all places shouldn't be worshipping so-called tastemakers.
