Gothic bands/ emo bands associated with the goth scene in one way or another that I like (or have liked in the past) are (in no particular order): Nightwish (before-circa 2007), Within Temptation, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Evanescence, Epica, Jack Off Jill, Ragana, The Cure, The Birthday Massacre, Emilie Autumn, Hannah Fury, Danzig, The 69 Eyes, Apocalyptica, Rammstein, The Dresden Dolls, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nox Arcana, Angelspit, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, and apparently a ton of goth girls love Tori Amos so I'm going to put her down as a hard maybe. I'm currently looking at Nina Hagen's stuff. Her cover of Rammstein's Seeman with Apocalyptica is phenomenal.
Gothic bands and emo bands wouldn't ever be confused with each other in terms of sound. It's only since the early 00s that the subcultures have started to be conflated, but one wouldn't be likely to confuse a band like Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy with bands like Indian Summer or Four Hundred Years.
Gothic rock is one of the sounds that grew out of late 70s-early 80s post-punk.
Emo is one of the sounds that grew out of late 80s-early 90s post-hardcore.
