Obviously I voted for Steely Dan - and I love Killing Joke, at least the first two records & spots here and there. (Frankly I think the fire which they honored never really burned as bright again, though I got kicked in the teeth by that album that Grohl played on a couple years back) In re: the goth business though, I've said this before - they're not the sort of lamers who'd self-identify as goth, because they're not lamers. But Christian Death didn't ID as goth, either. Any band that'd describe themselves as "a goth band" is gonna suck balls. But in L.A. at least Killing Joke always occupied a sort of middle ground - punks liked them, so did the death rock kids who went nuts for TSOL's "Dance With Me." Their flickr portrait should rightly have a small-font "goth" tag on it.
But "are they goth or not goth?" is a stupid question. They're about as goth as the Birthday Party, which is to say, anybody who says there's no connection is lying or stupid, but anybody who thinks the tag is a sufficient descriptor is silly.

I never suggested Goth wasn't good.
If you so need to slap a tag on Killing Joke, I'll forever suggest "post-punk," but they remain not so easily pigeon-holed.
