just heard this on the radio-god I used to love the Cure

[CatIsSleepy]

reminds me of my yoof

er yes Dadada i think you have hit the nail on the head there
the cure had a lot more going on than the other gothy-type bands
which band was wayne hussey the lead singer of? he was a right eejit

The Cure were only pretend Goths...

Sisters of Mercy... now they were proper Goths.

well PM I think that's why I liked 'em

Me too, Cat!

The Cure wasn't really a goth band. I wasn't into proper goth stuff either

G'wan, you know you want to, suck in your cheeks!

Someone's going to get very upset about this Goth teasing any minute now.

Wayne Hussey was lead singer of The Mission. Yep, he was weird.

I liked the Cult in my youth...but they're not proper Goth are they?

LOved the Cure and went to see them twice.

One of my best mates at uni was a Goth and had an album by a band called 'Scraping the Foetus off the Wheel'. Nice. . She is now a police officer...

OMG - Sisters of Mercy!! That guy always used to wear black PVC trousers even though he had legs like pipecleaners. I didn't realise what bad teeth he had until I saw the closeup in the video there.

Ewww

My record collection has a few guilty Goth secrets. Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

Joy Division had a lot to answer for.

aaah andrew eldridge, did he ever take his sunglasses off I wonder?

oh no it has to be Charlotte Sometimes for me! so haunting! even had the staring atthe sea the images music video!

catissleepy

Unfortunately for him, I think the sunglasses were probably his best facial feature...

LOL notyummy you're probably right!

actually was listening to Interpol a while ago and dh accused them of sounding like the sisters of mercy or similar

I was a bit horrified...perhaps I have goth tendencies without really realising? if so am heavily in denial

Oh SoM and the mission- I loved children.
I wasn't really a goth. My brother was though and I grew up listening to a lot of the stuff because of him.
Now I'm listening to butterfly on a wheel. You lot are really good making me listen to music more again especially as it helps me NOT to get depressed (yes even angsty stuff0

The book Charlotte sometimes if fab too. Sad though.

Ahem

ah yes editors-also known as Boy division I believe

Bronze, I also find listening to music (yes even angsty stuff!) very uplifting. I should do it more often too

.....it would be remiss of me not to comment on this thread, methinks.

....as the Sisters of Mercy You Tube link plays in the background, I reminisce about sweltering through Sisters gigs in my (very) heavy raincoat....

...bless You Tube. I even found this much loved, if obscure wonder from my Peel listening days....

there's nothing like a good old wallow in melancholy music every now and then...sometimes it's just what you need

at Boy Division. I do hope some of these bands are having a bit of a laugh with their po-facedness.

Killers. Ludicrous. But brilliant at the same time. Makes me want to go and invade Albania or something macho like that. The moustaches have to be part of an elaborate joke, surely?!

Apparently Springsteen is the Killers biggest influence.....not looking at that video he isn't

I do love the killers
not at all sure about all that facial hair though...
