These are all fantastic albums to which I continue to listen 30 years on! I would say that the fall-this nation's saving grace wasn't really postpunk, and more appropriately #10 would be something by Membranes or Bauhaus. The Slits were an original 76 London punk band even if their sound wasn't that 1-2-3- generic sound. I think I like postpunk more than punk if I had to make a choice one way or another.
