Goth comes from bands like New Order and Depeche Mode, which were New Wave
which grew out of Punk.

Money. They're just angry enough to make a lot of money. Angry as they need
to be.

I consider them another influence, but as you say not a large one. And of
course, they based a song on the first three chords of I Can See For Miles.

I know, but that's not what I meant...I'm talking about the technical aspect
of their music, the precision of the songs. Not the actual style of music,
you see. The Stones are also Blues-influenced, but they're sloppy as Hell.
The Animals, on the other hand, were precise as Hell.

I've got it, and yes Eric WAS on heroin.

This is a very hard question. I think they were innovative from the very
first, but if you're talking about Progressive Rock then I'd have to say
Tommy.

Keets:

See, an argument could be made for a lot of their songs. I can agree, and
even cite Out In The Street.

ARRRRGGGGH! WHAT a thread!

S&S is one of the best tracks, so is LROM.

But if I can't say "None" and was forced, at gunpoint...no, more like what
happened to Pacino in the end of Scarface, then I'd say the weakest track is
The Rock.

I take that back! What a thread! Hey-Zeus H. Bush, for crimines sake!

YES it IS too! It's the ONLY answer!
