Adam Ant

 

Stuart Leslie Goddard, AKA Adam Ant, and sometimes Adam & The Ants, is one of the true characters of the 80s.

RIP Harold Budd

 

 

Harold Budd was one of the originators of ambient music.  His signature treated piano sound is a beautiful and haunting sound.

Rammstein

Right place, right time, right sound.

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost built a good following on their first couple dark metal albums, then turned more polished hard rock, then turned electronic rock, then started going backwards toward doom metal. Personally, I would start with "One Second" - fantastically produced by Sank, with deep baritone vocals. Goth hard rock never got any better.

Cheb i Sabbah

Cheb i Sabbah produced some of the greatest Indian music of the last 20 years.
