I wanna make a cd compilation (or more than one) of "classic" GBD music. You know the kind -- music you loved so much you just HAD to dance to it, or music somebody else used that you just loved, or music that you've always wanted to dance to because it either sounded so darn cool or it just moved you so darn much!
If you were making a Best of GBD Music Cd, what would yours have on it? Thanx for playing. :P

Tue, April 1, 2008 - 11:58 AMAfter posting this, I got to thinking about what I said... And not everything on the list is goth by default (I wouldn't say that Prince is necessarily goth).

Re: Fave Classic GBD music ?
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 9:36 AMI just started delving into GBD officially but have been fascinated with it since I started dancing... I've been on the hunt to... perfectly timed. I have the damnest time finding music with an edge... they look at my blankly when I walk in and say 'The Retrosic' damnnit how come you don't know this... or anything like it!
Grumbe grumble for the tame populous who wants the foo fighters all the time!
My list is small...
The Retrosic
Evanescance
Godsmack
Drowning Pool (occasionally)
Disturbed (occasionaly)
Within Temptation
Nightwish
M. Manson
Lacuna Coil
Linkin park on occasion
yeah I try to make a pass for some of them as far as dancing because I love the music but it can be a real stretch to actually make it work. So I generally make up practice sessions with it rolling... try to release from the drilling stuff and really just dance. =) yeah for gothic music that's dancable

Re: Fave Classic GBD music ?
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 10:39 AMI have to say thanks to all of you for posting these artists/songs. For a gothling like myself I often don't know where to start with music. I've been into Depeche Mode since the 80's but didn't follow much else that could be considered goth/synthpop/ebm until just recently. Now I'm like a kid in a candy store...a dark, spooky one.

Re: Fave Classic GBD music ?
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 11:57 AMOoh, I've always wanted to dance to Hunter's Kiss! Though I'd be afraid of crying on stage for the poor dead deer... -
-
Re: Fave Classic GBD music ?
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 12:08 PMI've always looked at "Hunter's Kiss" as an allegory for man's pursuit of a woman; it's a song to me that has two meanings.
Last time I saw Rasputina play, I was thrilled they included this song in the lineup. It's my favorite. -

Re: Fave Classic GBD music ?
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 1:20 PMHmmm, I don't consider myself a gothis bellydancer per se, but I did just perform to Zombie Girl "Funeral Pyre," Evanescence (sp?) "Haunted," "Room 47" Unknown Artist, and The Shroud "Black."
I'm not sure where Fabian fits in tho ;-P -
