Ahahahahahaaa... it's just occurring to me that this Friday, when I spin next, is old school night at Plague. So now I'm pawing through my music collection looking for anything that might be considered "old school."
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five... that's old school... right?! >;)
I have 70+ remixes of various Depeche Mode songs.
Hrmmmm...
What? That's old school. ;)
Siouxie and the Banshees
etc. etc. etc
Old School yes, but definately not goth.
Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy, Soiuxsie would all be good.
Sorry I can't help you out too much on other good ones even though _I_ am "old school" (graduated HS in '86), I've always been on the fringes of the Goth, punk and metal communities(and partly in the hippie community which gave me a good excuse to grow my hair long) and never felt comfortable enough in my own skin to make much of a conection with folks in those comunities.
-Jennie
Just a few of my faves
And One - Wasted (2001...not really "olde schoole")
Ministry - Stigmata
Revolting Cocks - Beers Steers and Queers
old school
Or some Bauhaus... Skinny Puppy maybe?
Iono what's actually considered old school GOTH... Ministry n RevCo are INDUSTRIAL, not goth... but if Goths like it, yea, throw out Beers Steers n Queers - just cos it's COOL as fuck! Or Big Sexyland, their first... Nitzer Ebb maybe?
