Original Goth: 

     Bauhaus 
     Christian Death 
     Southern Death Cult* 
     Joy Division (Sometimes had a Goth sound, didn't look very Goth) 
     Sisters of Mercy 
     Siouxsie and the Banshees 


Miscellaneous Goth: 

     The Fields of The Nephilim**(Too new to be original, too old to be 
     new) 
     The Mission (UK) (Early stuff was considered Goth by the music  
     press) 
     Sex Gang Children 


Mellow Goth: 

     Dead Can Dance 
     Xmal Deutschland 
     Danielle Dax (more poppy) 


Metal/Industrial Goth: 

     Creaming Jesus (Metalish) 
     James Rays Gangwar (Goth w/samples)
     (A lot of Goths listen to Ministry but they aren't really Goth) 


Experimental/Folky/Occult Goth: 

     Current 93 
     Death In June 
     Sol Invictus 


New Goth: 

     Nosferatu, Rosetta Stone (Sisters/Mission sounding bands) 
     Shadow Project (Off shoot of Christian Death) 
     Clan of Xymox (Synth, almost dancey) 

* Southern Death Cult (SDC) later split in all directions. Only SDC are 
condsidered properly Gothic. However many of Southern Death Cult's Goth 
followers remained true even when they entered their 'The Cult' glam 
metal phase. 

** Fields of the Nephilim were so unlike previous Goth it is amazing that 
they were ever considered Goth at all. Nonetheless they are one of the 
definitive Goth bands and most Goths took to them instantly because of 
their originality and talent.
