No, I'm looking for droney mopey washy gloomy quiet pop.
Mornelith:
As far as Goth bands go, I'm partial to The 69 Eyes. They're a Finnish rock band, but I wouldn't think they fall under the "droney and quiet" criteria of your search.
They've just recently started releasing albums in the US and you're likely to find their re-release of the "Devils" album at most standard music stores. FYE, Camelot, etc.
Hope this helps.

Pornography your least favorite? I mean, I'm personally a huge fan of Pornography and Bloodflowers. Definitely among my favorite records, but how can you like any Cure album less than Wild Mood Swings?
Kid Modernist:
I don't know, I like Wild Mood Swings for what it is. Kind of just one off pop album. Actually, I would say that their newest album is my very least favorite album, but I don't even usually count it.
I don't like the heavy use of drums and little other instruments of pornography as well as the overall angry and fucked up vibe.

How would you describe Joy Division!
TEN POINTS!

This is a pretty insightful question really.
Joy Division, The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees etc. are, just like many other bands less associated with moping and hairspray, post-punk. They're not really goth. Goth was something that was invented by the people inspired by them. They are the prototype, but they aren't the thing itself.
