Yeah, that was something I did consider when doing my post. I decided to say "include 'em", because I do feel they had such a big impact on the post-punk scene in the UK. For me, TG are THE influential band of the "punk" era after the Sex Pistols. But in the scope of "post punk" guitar-based music, you're right. Gawd, this is so confusing to me! |

you pretty much nailed my list except i wouldn't have included the fall and i would've taken out the heat for the raincoats or swell maps. |

Sorry, I didn't realise we were limiting ourselves to 'guitar based' bands. Although... TG were a guitar based band in the late 70's and early eighties. They just played them unconventionally and used alot of treatment on the sounds. And not all of their stuff was extreme. 'Shadow Of The Sun' is almost ambient. I would say that Cabaret Voltaire's 'Voice of America' is a post punk album, but both the Cabs and TG had been working on their music since the early 70's - before punk happened. So I guess they would be 'pre-punk - post punk' |
^^^The Cabs are most certainly punk full stop - they got beaten up by the local meatheads at their first gig, because they were expecting Status Quo. Good for the Cabs, say I (great call on "Voice Of America" too - der der der der OB-SE-SSION!)

Never mind the genres....
1 - Alternative TV - Image Has Cracked 2 - TV Personalities - And Don't The Kids Love It 3 - Pil - Metal Box 4 - Monochrome Set - Strange Boutique 5 - Alternative TV - Vibing Up The Senile Man 6 - Zounds - Curse Of The Zounds 7 - Lemon Kittens - Spoonfed and Writhing 6 - Mark Perry - Snappy Turns 8 - Wire - Pink Flag 9 - Half Man Half Biscuit - Back In The DHSS 10 - Alive In the living room compilation. |

echo & the bunnymen the fall the chameleons (are they post punk? fuck it, i like them) |
Cantanky - you like The Fall? Fuck yeah! What's your fave LP by them?
|
I won't do ten, but for me the most important were
The Fall PIL Throbbing Gristle New Order |
Quote:
Correct on both counts. The Bunnymen are astounding, in fact, as are the Chameleons. |
Echo & the Bunnymen - Crocodiles
Public Image Ltd - First Edition and Metal Box The Slits - Cut The Gang of Four - Entertainment Wire - Pink Flag The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace |
1. Metal Box
2 & beyond. Everything else. |
In no order of preference:
Joy Division - Unknown pleasures Siouxse & The Banshees - Juju The Cure - Faith / Pronography / Disintegration The Cocteau Twins - Treasure Echo & The Bunnymen - Crocodiles Elvis Costello & The Attractions - My aim is true The Smiths - Hatful of hollow There might also be Bauhaus but I know the songs on compilations or live more than the albums. |

Yeah, I always think that one gets a bit forgotten about. 'Lay of the Land' is one of my all-time favourite Fall songs, period. |
