19. Danzig - "Mother (live)" (1993)
In some ways, this lunkheaded heavy-metal singalong seems counter to goth's shy and wounded stereotype. Mutton-chopped muscle-head Glen Danzig spent at least as much time in a brightly-lit gym as he did sighing in a graveyard somewhere. But there's something resonant about turning yourself into a sexy monster ("sexy" circa 1993), baring your teeth at neighborhood kids while glowering at their older sisters, that's culturally evergreen and really at the heart of goth's 90s turn towards mall-kiosk commerce. And for shlocky goth-inspired radio metal, this tune is way bigger than anything in the Marilyn Manson catalog.
