'Safe'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Having never paid attention to Sisters of Mercy or The Mission (UK) before, I have to say they're kind of like hair metal bands.
Yes, yes they are. Other goths get really really angry when I point this out. I have, however, played Queensryche's Rage for Order cd for unsuspecting goths, and they almost always think that they're listening to some goth rock band they've never heard of.
Queensryche's Rage for Order
I love that CD. Geoff Tate's voice is amazing.
Btw, Jilli, do you have an opinion on Xymox? Gary Numan?
Anne, I got the CDs today - thanks! It was missing the apartment number (which is #303), but was outside my door when I got home from choir practice, so at least it made its way into the building. ;-)
Can someone please give me the link to the site where the track listings are, please? I've got a whole handful of discs, but only two cheat sheets for them.

They're both good; I don't actually *own* anything by Gary Numan (I keep meaning to buy some of his new stuff that my Evil Queer Stunt-Husband raves about, but haven't gotten around to it yet), and I own one CD by Xymox, back from when they were still known as Clan of Xymox.
Never heard of Xymox but Gary Numan is my all time favourite artist. His '98 album, Exile is probably the closest to "goth" that any of his albums have got. Ironically, his eighties albums are more funkier than many so-called funk artists of that period.
Media Club: music downloads. $US1.50 per 100MB.
That kPunk piece is stunning on Joy Division. I particularly like his description of them and the Fall as a UK equivalent of dub, in contrast to the PIL attempts to create dub.
Now playing: "I Want You" by Lindsey Buckingham. Notable because it has a guitar solo that sounds somewhat like a chicken.
