Yep, I know that the term is extremely widely used.

Sticking my neck out as little as possible I'd say that Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus fully fits my expectations of "goth".

Also early Specimen, a bit of Joy Division, early Clan of Xymox etc etc...

I guess it depends on what you consider goth. For example there are metal bands that are considered. And from my opinion it's only because they dress the part.

As the list pretty quiet at the moment (strange considering that Jaz & Youth apparently are releasing stuff and and a KJ single is supposedly due soon) I'd thought I ask a "simple" question...



Anyone out there who has a good idea on tracking the roots of "goth"?



As with the term "punk" there are many different views on what bands to include, but I hope that among KJ fans there are quite a few that also listens to a lot of "goth".



The reason I ask is that I stumbled on this track by The Glass Family from 1968 (http://youtu.be/q_pIiQUIZoA), which in my ears sounds quite "gothic".

The rest of what The Glass Family released has very little resemblance to "goth" (in my humble ears) so it seems to be a one off.

Never heard any other 60:s track that sounds so "gothic", but please feel free to enlighten me if there are others!
