Best/favourite albums that start with L?

Only just started to lean into goth music with Joy Division and The Cure cause I wanted to get to know the inspirations and fundaments first, but I’m really enjoying it so far, and absolutely love the lyrics on Unknown Pleasures which I know isn’t really Goth but thought it was still worth mentioning.

Most the music I listen to are Folk music like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Ani DiFranco and Jewel, all artists known as amazing songwriters, Cohen and Drake especially with some of their very dark lyrics. They all tap into really specific feelings, ideas and experiences in very powerful ways, and I want to see if I can find that in this genre. Any suggestions?

edit: grammar

Decided to skip the voting around because it'd be pointless and like aytakk said, nothing will outvote Juju.

Best/favourite album that starts with J? (Besides the obvious/predictable Siouxsie albums..)

I’m trying to get into goth music but a bunch of artists have albums that are hours long and they have like 20 albums, I fear I’ll be called a poser if I don’t listen to an artists whole discography or something or freeze up when someone asks me to list a song. Popular or obscure I’m fine with, idc. Lately I’ve been listening to twin tribes and molchat doma and Cocteau twins

I've decided to start a game where people will comment and vote for their favourite goth albums from A to Z! Here are some rules and explanations.

Must be goth. Read the rules/FAQ/wiki.

One band per letter. I'd like to try to give recognition and appreciation to as many bands as possible. Don't just suggest the bands everybody has heard of many times.

It doesn't have to strictly be an album! Could be an EP for bands who have never officially released any albums.

Let me know of you have any further questions!

Now then, what is the best/your favourite album that starts with A?

I could post this on r/lastfm but since it’s pretty much only goth music i felt like this sub may fit better

I’m new to goth music and wondered if there are any albums that are a “must listen to”?
