	Draco Vampir Jonathonn The Cure isn't included? I..I think i might just go cry. xD jk, jk. This is an amazing list! Thank you so much, there's a lot of bands I've never came across before. I actually really dislike the cure. I find their music closer to emo than anything else. Quote: Quite alright that you don't like them..but..The Cure, Emo? I think I might have just died a little inside. (Or did you just steal my energy with your crazy psyvamp s**t?) Either way...Woahhh..

	A significant amount of their music has a much more whiny, emotional bent to it. That's why I don't like them. I've only ever heard one song from them I liked, and I didn't like it that much(the lovecats, in case you're wondering).

	Draco Vampir I find their music closer to emo than anything else, Listen to all of (the albums) Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography, in that order. It's practically the entire evolution of post-punk to goth condensed in a three album span. Nothing emo about it, or them, for that matter. Especially Pornography, which is a classic of the genre, and one of the most clear-cut examples you'll ever hear of real goth-rock.

Pornography is my fav album from them, but on the end I think Draco has no clue what is emo and what is goth >>

	Draco Vampir A significant amount of their music has a much more whiny, emotional bent to it. That's the most ignorant thing you've said all week. All music is emotional; even monotone s*t like Throbbing Gristle and early Neubauten portray some form of emotion. That's the point of song lyrics, or any* form of poetry for that matter. Furthermore, go listen to some Rites of Spring. A whole album from them. Then listen to a whole album from The Cure(take your pick), compare the two side by side. Then slap yourself with nailed baseball bat for thinking the two bands could be compared genre-wise.

	Let me rephrase that. I don't mean emotional as in containing emotion. Of course all music has some emotion put into it. Most of my favorite stuff contains a great deal of emotion, usually rage. The Cure's music just tends to lean a lot more to the self depressive and whining side overall, which I dislike. I have heard a few songs from Pornography and they were okay, but still not what I'd consider good. That's all about personal taste though. I still have a difficult time comparing them to other bands from the era that had the goth label slapped onto them....the bauhaus, siouxsie and the banshees, specimen, etc. They have a very different and less agressive, punk sound to them. Further, I never said they were emo, I just said their sound was closer to emo than to the prevalent goth aesthetic of the time. Again, some of their stuff is alright, but I've never really found that I have a strong liking of any of it.

	They have like 4 gloomy albums to their name. 4 out of 13 is not a majority. The rest is almost exclusively bouncy new wave poppy stuff. :/

	Alot of their songs are actually happy sounding, the first one I ever heard, Just Like Heaven, for example. Also, emotion in a song is usually what people like, you know? Something they can relate to. (Depressed people listening to depressing music, ghetto people listening to rap, punks listening to punk rock, preps listening to happy more popular music...) And there are alot of songs more self depressing than what The Cure has put out, alot of my favorite songs are either more self-reserved, or more of an in-your-face kinda style, but nothing too angry... anger is never a good thing, unless it is going to a good cause (like being angry because someone hit their child or abused an animal, or politicians limiting the rights of their citizens unjustly, or without the majority of their own direct approval on the matter)

	((Note: screamo is a prep's attempt at metal ^^ there are some good more screamo bands, like From First to Last, but that is something my metal-band fanatic dude friends at school came up with...))
