Goth music from the beginning (Late 70's through present)

A personal top 40 of Goth and Post-Punk music from the late 70's 'til now. So many people have misconceptions about what Goth music is and honestly you can dress in whatever fashion you want and not listen to the music that goes with it but it's handy in Goth to know where we started and the influence of Post-Punk and Deathrock. It's good to know what Goth originally sounded like rather than presuming Goth Metal and Industrial is all there is. I'm going to split it into 4 lots of 10; Post-Punk (late 70's/80s), Deathrock (80's/early 90's), Goth Rock and EBM(90's/00s), Shoegaze and Bonus stuff; these are all VERY loose categories and not all the bands are going to fit neatly into the descriptions. The bonus few bands that I feel are popular amongst my more gothically inclined circles but aren't necessarily considered 'Goth', pseudo-Goth music shall we say.
