 The first song I heard was "Double Dare" by Bauhaus. I had been in the punk circuit for a while and use to listen to the college radio station (which I later became a DJ for) that always played punk/hardcore/new wave.
There was a DJ there-Otis who started playing this dark, brooding music that I just fell in love with. And the first song he played was Double Dare. I was completely sucked in! I just remember being really upset that night too, had a shitty day at school (I was 14) and was just completely fed up with all of the people that I had to deal with on a day to day basis. That song-completed the feeling. It said all that I felt. It still does to this day-Peter Murphy is a God! _________________ "Grinding through memories; confounding abilities; I'm so ill at ease (I always talk to myself)" |

This is going to sound totally cliche, but it was "Bela Lugosi's Dead," on one of the "Goth Talk" skits on SNL.

I think this threads already been done. To answer the question: One day I bought Volume I by Bauhaus, and went right to Bela Lugosi. I heard it for some seconds but it didn't seem gothic to me, so I started playing Stygmata Martyr, and stuck with it.

The Passion of Lovers by Bauhaus was my first. I remember listening wide-eyed while shivers ran down my spine; I was in love. To this day, I still get goosebumps when it's played.

In between days, by the Cure. The Head On The Door was recommended to me by a friend, and it was excellent!

It was either "Deception" by the Crüxshadows or "Rosegarden Funeral of Sores" by Bauhaus. The latter made for an interesting introduction to the genre. Then came Joy Division, The Sisters, and Nosferatu, and the phrase "drunken Count Dracula spliced with Lurch from the Addams Family" came into being.
Nosferatu and Razed In Black nearly turned me off the music right when I got into it. Looking back, I'm very glad I found Bauhaus on the same day. |

For me it was The Cure - Burn, on The Crow Original Soundtrack. Then years after I saw a special on old horror flicks and Bela Lugosi was mentioned. I googled information about him and found out about Bauhaus. The rest is history.

I think it was an Apoptygma Berzerk song called "I've got a praier to die", waaay back before he got famous. It was on a sampler, and he had yet to release any albums. It was much darker and more brooding than his newer stuff...

I think it was Harvest by The 3rd and the Mortal. It's a very lovely song.

Probably "Cold" by the Cure, or something I heard way back by Bauhaus or Love N Rockets. I remember watching a LNR video back when I was a kid and got a bit creeped out yet hypnotized by it......
First song that I actually KNEW was a goth song when I heard it??? Probably "Black Planet" by the Sisters of Mercy or "Moonchild" by Fields of the Nephilim. _________________ Righteousness is the root of all evil. |
