Best Gothic/Rock Gothic/Punk Groups
Evanescence is an American alternative rock/alternative metal band. It was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. Best band ever, not only because of the haunting voice of Amy Lee, but also because of the soulful lyrics they provide. I would definitely add them to any playlist because they come in a wide range of category(sort of.)and beings to you a new view of life.

Bauhaus were an English gothic rock/post-punk band, formed in Northampton, England in 1978. The group consisted of Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins and David J. This band is one of the leading pioneers of the whole Gothic genre! Goth/Punk at its finest. Although most you of reading this might not consider it Goth. Listen to "She's in parties"
Peter Murphy... God of all that is goth... Prince of dark... Prince of light... Enchanting... Elegant... Man... Bewitching... Beguiling..,. Spin a web around my soul...
Of course, all the hot topic kids have already plagued this list with HIM and Evanescence. Learn what goth is before you vote.
Why are these not on the top 10?

Just listen to them. Also check out Wednesday 13. Both amazing (same singer)
One of the best bands ever, Wednesday 13 is a God!
I think this was just a mis-spelling of Killing Joke, which is an amazing mixture between goth and punk. Night Time and Revelations are some of their best work.
Siouxsie and the Banshees were an English rock band, formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist Steven Severin. They have been widely influential, both over their contemporaries and with later acts. I never thought I'd say this, but. Almost nothing compares to Siouxsie and the Banshees! They're just way too cool, and that is putting it mildly. Spellbound is of course awesome. Helter Skelter, well I can't even find words to describe it! Other than it is certainly one of, if not the most intense and awe inspiring things I have ever seen in music, and for that matter my life ever! She rules and should be in the top of the list, enough said! I love you Siouxsie! "
Siouxsie Sioux is a Goth Queen.
The Cure are an English post-punk/gothic rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1978. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. Listen to the Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography albums. Goth is not "hardcore" or "edgy". Goth is romantic, experimental (especially with The Cure), and atmospheric.
How is Evanescence above The Cure? The Cure is one of the best goth bands in history.
The Red Chord is an American metal band from Revere, Massachusetts, formed in 1999. The group comprises vocalist Guy Kozowyk, guitarist/vocalist Mike "Gunface" McKenzie, bassist Greg Weeks and drummer Michael Justian.

They should be in top 10!

The Sisters of Mercy have had a profound influence on the goth subculture and continue to have a devoted fan base.

Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band founded in April 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. "Although I have only had very limited experience listening to their music and watching their videos, I must say that what I have seen and heard is impressive. The video for In The Middle Of The Night is something to see. The scene in which she literally levitates up off the floor of what appears to be a church to a considerable height in front of obviously shocked onlookers in the congregation is, I have to admit VERY IMPRESSIVE! Anyway, they certainly do have my attention for sure. Total respect from an aspiring musician well on my way to forming my own band! "
Katatonia is a Swedish metal band formed in Stockholm in 1991 by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström. The band has released nine studio albums spanning the course of three decades, and their tenth studio album, The Fall of Hearts was released on May 20, 2016.Cool gothic sovietwave band out of Belarus. If you like Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy or anything under that umbrella, Molchat is worth a shot.
Joy Division were an English post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. Originally named Warsaw, the band consisted of singer Ian Curtis, guitarist and keyboardist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook, and drummer Stephen Morris. Joy Division is the most loved and influential of all these bands. They should be top!
