I thought a dedicated thread to music would be interesting. What have you been buying? What are you currently listing to?

Currently im listing to Floodland by Sisters of Mercy. Call it Goth call it industrial groove metal i don't care. And while some of there work i don't like (particularly a lot of stuff on Vision Thing). Floodland is a masterpiece despite being for all intensive a commercial failure.

It hard to argue with the anthemic, atmospheric sound coupled with some very intelligent lyrics that well at least i get, but seems a lot of them are lost on lot of ppl 

Currently listening to:

To stay in W0m6at's mood, another two songs by the unforgettable Noel Coward, already my hero when I was 17 (long time ago 

Anita O'Day in 1958 at the Newport Jazz Festival:

Great rendering of 'Ebb Tide" by Sinatra (1958):

Currently listening to:
November's Doom - Autumn Reflection

One of my favorite deathmetalbands. They just re-issued Knowing, with a bonus disc. Haven't bought it yet, though.

I just bought a few Triumph re-issues (on the Frontiers label, from Italy). Rock 'n Roll Machine, Allied Forces and Progressions of Power.

Some other artists I'm currently listening to

My wife introduced me to SoM when we started dating, and I was blown away by their lyrics and musical nuance. It's too bad Andrew Eldritch was too egotistical to continue with the band. And now he claims he was never Goth.

Now, thanks to this thread, I'm alternating between Sisters of Mercy and Caro Emerald. Thanks, Zwollenaar; she is awesome!

You might not have heard of Mortiis Era. There a great Gothic act from Norway. I really like there album The Grudge. It's heavily influenced by Håvard Ellefsen's experince by a group of friends who ended up abusing his trust.

So the whole album is really like big venting of his anger at that.

Also there's the The Smell of Rain album

My little Goth wife has a lot of compilations from overseas, and I believe I remember seeing Mortiis on a few of those, even a couple of videos on a Nuclear Blast set. She likes the Beauty in Darkness DVD series (which apparently ended a few years ago and are hard to get). I tend more toward punk (Ramones, Clash, etc.) and classic rock. We have a decidedly weird music collection.

I would more call it a unique expression of your individuality's  than a "weird music collection. It's quality's we need more in the human race.

Wonder if you have listen to The Holy Bible by The Manic Street Preachers then. There early stuff is colourfully referred to as terrorist punk lol

We saw both these guys live when they played a festival in Tennessee earlier in the year.  They were both absolutely fabulous!  Bought every CD both bands had for sale at their tables.  None of these videos do any justice to the energy and music any of these guys played live.

Albannach is from up 'round your way, FilmAlba.  This is about the best video I found on Youtube for them, but it's 2 years old.  They're my friend Sharon's favorite band, and she's the one who decided we were going to drive down and see them live.  Worth every bit of the drive!

Coyote Run is the other band that played at the festival (well, ok, one of the other bands - but the only other "name").  I actually liked them better, even if I thought Albannach was fabulous.

And here's a vid I found on Youtube of Coyote Run sharing the stage with some other blokes (including Albannach):
