The Poseur needs help





I think I might start liking gothic rock. I started listening to The Cure a while ago, well, the hits. Then I looked them up on Wikipedia and saw them tagged with "gothic rock". After educating my belief that Friday I'm in Love could be considered gothic away, I started looking into their earlier, more gloomy stuff (Three Imaginary Seconds, and later, Pornography). The music was much simpler, but that didn't in any way kill the mood. In fact, I'd say it did the exact opposite. I loved it. I started looking for more, and I found a band named Bauhaus. The very first song I heard by them was a live version of Bela Lugosi's Dead. This wasn't just gloomy, it was dark, haunting and gave me chills. So I gave their debut, In the Flat Field a listen. That was a wise decision.

Now, please, someone with a little more goth knowledge than me (well, anyone), will you please tell me where I should continue in order to not get scared away from gothic rock for life?
