Band names shown in "italics" are those bands generally considered to be ("or to have been") especially influential upon the wider Goth scene or subculture's stylistic/aesthetic evolution and/or on the musical evolution of subsequent gothic bands. This is, of course, a topic of continuing debate/personal beliefs. Therefore, no allusion to "authority" or "comprehensiveness" is intended. compactTOC2
