PlasticPassion_a2 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 What bands would you consider the best "Gothic, EBM, etc" bands of the 80's and 90's? Two decades of bands: that’s A LOT of ground to cover! Less debatable are the primary record labels that spawned this scene, how about those? Here were some of my popular favorites. Look at their back catalogues on Discogs.com and sample a few random groups. You'll find that more than 80% of their artists were really good. 4AD Wax Trax! Nettwerk Mute Some Bizzare Third Mind Play It Again Sam Contempo Beggars Banquet World Serpent Personally, I could never stand their stuff (save for maybe Love Spirals Downwards and Lycia), but the label Projekt was very popular in the 90s, too. - josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeadbeat Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 What bands would you consider the best "Gothic, EBM, etc" bands of the 80's and 90's? Considering goth's biggest output and time frame was between 1979-1988ish, that's a lot of ground to cover. Same with EBM... Goth/Deathrock/Batcave: Sex Gang Children UK Decay Bauhaus Blood & Roses Brigandage Actified Theatre of Hate Southern Death Cult Christian Death 45 Grave Virgin Prunes Sisters of Mercy Gloria Mundi Rosetta Stone Children on Stun The Horatii Wreckage Specimen Alien Sex Fiend Inca Babies Red Lorry Yellow Lorry 1919 Burning Image Supeheriones Gun Club EBM: Neon Judgement Front 242 Cabaret Voltaire DAF Portion Control Click Cick Absolute Body Control A Split Second Nitzer Ebb à;GRUMH Zwischenfall There wasn't much EBM activity in the 90's... Bigod 20...uhh...Weathermen? Unless you want to mislabel VNV Nation-y futurepop stuff EBM...which then you'd be wrong, buster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anagram and London records are good calls too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
