Like, my love of The Banshees compelled me to search for more good Gothic rock. What I got was a bunch of that really-'80s-sounding stuff where all of the snare drums are EQed to sound like somebody hitting a garbage bag with a stick.
I guess Cocteau Twins are considered Gothic? I dunno, I don't even think of genres when listening to Cocteau Twins. Cocteau Twins is just Cocteau Twins.
Liked this one Sex Gang Children album I had, even though it had some filler tracks. Have yet to go deeper into them.

I never felt Cocteau Twins were "goth." they had an ethereal sound, but it didn't share the tone of the bands that seemed to occupy that space back then.
