The Passion of Lovers - Bauhaus
From 1981. By many accounts, these guys originated the goth idiom in rock in pop, although it is arguable that hard rock in the late 60s and 70s had a lot of the elements lying around (Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, the black magic references in Led Zeppelin, just to name a few). Bauhaus injected punk/raw-postpunk elements, which was novel. (I don't see the aesthetic connection with the Bauhaus artistic/design style, but that's OK). The vocal (and deep, echoing production) is there, which seems to have started everything off.
