The 40 Greatest Gothic Rock Albums of all time 

Nico is the Gothmother! Her lp trilogy The Marble Index (1968), Desertshore (1970) and The End (1974) set the foundations in terms of sound, lyrics and atmosphere, being the primordial seeds of Goth. Together with Velvet Underground luminary John Cale as her producer and arranger, they inspired and influenced several of Goths most important acts. Nico started dressing entirely in black, dyed her hair henna and used dark eyeliner in the late 60s, predating the Goth look and "heroin" chic by years. - Bauhaus went on tour with Nico in 1981 and covered John Cale's Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores on their In The Flat Field lp in 1980. - Siouxsie covered the Velvets Venus In Furs and also Cale's song Gun on her Through The Looking Glass lp in 1987. Cale produced her 1995 album The Rapture and toured with The Creatures in 1998. - Joy Division covered the Velvets Sister Ray, in an interview Peter Hook named Cale as one of his music gods - The Sisters Of Mercy covered Sister Ray by The Velvet Underground - Christian Death covered Venus In Furs in 1993 Between 2008 and 2012 Cale did some gigs with various guest musicians in honour of Nico, labelled A Life Along The Borderline: A Tribute To Nico. Among the musicians were Peter Murphy, Lisa Gerrard, Soap&Skin, Mark Lanegan and several others.

So tired of people thinking that metal, industrial, and EBM is somehow goth. Sad that you need to even mention it. Happy to know you understand.

BAUHAUS.....MASK.

Any best of Goth list without Diary of Dreams is incomplete. Personally, I would bump The Cult and Concrete Blonde for Diary of Dreams and Scream Silence at the very least, but it was nice to see The Swans and Nosferatu. Thanks for sharing this eclectic mix; everyone is a critic.

Badass list 🤘

BAUHAUS....GIANTS.
