It’s October, and my thoughts naturally turn to that Halloween so many years ago when I first saw and heard Bauhaus on MTV (way back when they played music videos), a clip of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” from The Hunger. I was enthralled. So much so that for the next few years, I grabbed every piece of vinyl I could get my hands on that had been released by those four men in one incarnation or another. I obviously became quite obsessed with the bellwether band, but I had no awareness of the Goth scene. Over time, I discovered more bands along the way. Recently checking out lists and Reddit posts, I learned many people think certain bands are Goth that I never would have considered.

To celebrate Halloween, I decided to focus on some classic bands that Goths like, regardless of whether I agree with the designation or not. The opinions that follow are strictly my own. So, in no particular order…
