Imagine a friend asked you for a playlist of your 5 favourite tracks to introduce them to industrial/darkwave/goth/ebm/etc. Which ones would you choose? They don't have to be genre-defining or from foundational bands, just ones you enjoy the most.

These would be mine:

Skinny Puppy - Assimilate
Fields of the Nephilim - The Watchman
Wumpscut - Totmacher
Faith and the Muse - Annwyn, Beneath the Waves
Youth Code - For I am Cursed

What are yours?

Gary Numan - I can't breathe

Covenant - dead stars

Night Club - Miss Negativity

Night Sins - the lowest place you'll go

The Cure's hanging garden is definitely up there as well. LOL, it's hard to stop at just five with it being such a diverse range of styles and artists.
