8. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "Red Right Hand" (1994)

One of the only icons from the original 80s goth scene whose work remained vital and interesting in ways that weren't just faded echoes of their initial greatness. Nick Cave's Birthday Party helped define goth rock with their enduring 1981 song "Release the Bats", but with spot-on placement in classically creepy soundtracks for Scream and The X-Files, "Red Right Hand" might have been just as important in guiding a new generation into the dark.
