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!
