For some reason, 'Goth' still seems to unnerve some people. This says more about them than it does about Goth music and Goth culture itself. It continues to throw up great bands and songs (and some dreadful ones too!), as well as debates as to who was goth or not. (siouxsie claiming she wasn't is a bit laughable).
Anyway, as an eighties-style goth (on occasion!) here are three cover versions done by goth bands, and three cover versions of some goth staples. Enjoy. As always, these will be up for a week, so enjoy them, and if you like them, go to Amazon or iTunes and buy them.
Sisters Of Mercy-'Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones cover).mp3'
Bauhaus-'Ziggy Stardust(David Bowie cover).' mp3
Echo and the Bunnymen-'People Are Strange(Doors cover).' mp3
Calexico-'Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover).' mp3
Lambchop-'This Corrosion (Sisters Of Mercy cover).' mp3
The Distants-'She Sells Sanctuary(Cult cover).' mp3
