While there have been, and always will be, a lot of similar comments, that below from Ailahh in the "Bands you Hate" thread finally made me realise that this is a thread whose time has come.



So... Let's put together the ideal playlist for a dance knowing full well that NO-ONE in their right minds - except us - would ever dance to it...

I'll start out. Because I strongly agree with something Wolfie once said in a thread called "Wedding Reception Music!", I'll go with "Hades/Pluton" by Sopor Aeternus; I think I'd also like to hear "Temple of Love" by the SoM, and probably "Bela Lugosi's Dead"... But they're the first off the top of my head; what would YOU guys want to dance (or wobble in a slightly off-kilter fashion if you're anything like me) to?

Okay, here are a few songs I'd really love to hear and dance to:

a) Zombie Dance by The Cramps
b) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang by Specimen
c) Sample My Sausage by Alien Sex Fiend
d) Deathrock Baby by Scary Bitches
e) Greensward Grey by Cinema Strange.

I'd like to dance to "That Wheel's On Fire" by Siouxsie and the Banshees and "Cabaret Fortune Teller" by Audra. To add some of my beloved mediaeval vibes, "Stella Splendens" by Qntal.

Right Now my list would be

Nightshift, Voodoo Dolly by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus
First and Last and Always by Sisters of Mercy
Graveyard Picnic, Death Death, Vampire Club by Voltaire
Under A Violet Moon by Blackmore's Night
Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll, I Am Stretched on Your Grave by Abney Park
Gothic Girl, Kiss Me Undead by 69 Eyes
Riboflavin, Violent World by 45 Grave
Black # 1 by Type O Negative
Ashes and Dreams by Theatre of Tragedy
The Ones by Aesthetic Perfection
Exit by Blacklist
No One Is There by Sopor Aeternus
VooDoo Dolly by Siouxsie and the Banshees
How We Quit The Forest, Bad Moon Rising by Rasputina
Cuts you Up, Strange by Peter Murphy
Wytche's Brew, AliveS by Omnia
End of All Hope, Ever Dream by Nightwish
Everyday is Halloween by Ministry
The Mystic's Dream by Loreena McKennitt
Burn, Love Will Tare Us Apart, Pictures of You, More Than This by The Cure
Spin Moon Magic by The Dreamside
People are Strange by Echo and the Bunnymen
In Dreams by Faith and the Muse
Misery Loves Company by Emilie Autumn
Black Infinity by Epica
We Belong With the Dead, Enchantment by Inkubus Sukkubus
At The Gates of Silent Memory, One More Nightmare by Fields of the Nephilim
Losing My Religion by Graveworm
Dark Salvation, The Calling, Darkside, Sideshow by Gothminister
she's Lost Control by Joy Division
Lost and Damned, The Haunting (Somewhere In Time) by Kamelot
Glass Houses by Skinny Puppy

Wow! You can come and DJ at my "school" any time you like with that list, Midi!

I think I might like a DCD day and a Sopor evening. Requests for 'chrirpy chirpy cheap cheap' and other horrors to be met by extreme non-violence.

Dead Stars by Covenant would make me get my boogie shoes on, and maybe Doing the Unstuck by The Cure.

I'm going to chuck in "Last Exit for the Lost" (Fields of the Nephilim) for some slow smoochy moments at the start, then watch as the pace picks up and turns into a bit of a boogie...

when I was dj, sometimes I had played it, amazing

I am currently in love with that particular Cure song. ^_^

Ignore the Machine, Now I'm Feeling Zombified (Alien Sex Fiend)
Sebastiane (Sex Gang Children)
Beauty of Poison, Hex (Specimen)
Bloodletting Song (Concrete Blonde)
Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
Strange Kind of Love (Peter Murphy) slow dance time!
Follow Me (Deine Lakaien) waltz time!
This Corrosion (Sisters of Mercy)
Snake Dance (March Violets)
Baby Turns Blue (Virgin Prunes)
Goo Goo Muck (Cramps)
Clerestory (Cruxshadows) OK fine, beat me up for this, I like this song, so there, so sue me
Los Angeles (X)
Children of the Light (Eva O)
Inside of You, In Spite of You (Thoushaltnot)
Jigsaw Feeling (Siouxsie and the Banshees)
Zombie Haut-Couture (Last Days of Jesus)
Mother, In the Moment When You Leave, House of Hate (Catastrophe Ballet "Modern Primitives" album - it has a fair number of danceable songs)

*PerkyBat notices her very own signature then her face repeatedly meets her palm*
Dammit, I knew I forgot something!!!

Anyways, I really like your choice of music, harpy!

Morpheus Laughing ~ Skinny Puppy

Slow Kill ~ Fields of the Nephilim

Thanks! And I remember back when I first noticed your siggy and thought "Yay! Another fan!"
One of my favorite places to dance is Release the Bats, because they're heavy on the trad/deathrock.
