I think a band has to be pretty deliberately goth . |
A lot of Goths do listen to some depeche mode. The stuff around Black Celebration and some of Music for the Masses and I'd say a lot of Violator is Goth like and so Songs of Faith and Devotion too.
They lost a lot of that when Alan Wilder left.
These for instance.
