Nice list, batreleaser. I'd also include The Slits' "Cut" and Throbbing Gristle's "Heathen Earth" too.

Post-punk in the late 70's/early 80's?
That's way to early. The genre/label appeared later ( with Slint maybe ). |

Maybe. But I think that none of the bands in batreleaser list ever called themselves "post-punk" , and that the term wasn't used before the mid 80's. |

it was used by journalists as early as '78, to describe everything from the police to p.i.l.

if UK punk was dead and buried by '78 (i sorta agree on that), then "london calling" should definitely be on the post-punk list. |

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. |

1980 article from Rolling Stone, written by Greil Marcus. "It's Fab, It's Passionate, It's Wild, It's Intelligent! It's the Hot New Sound of England Today!" Article talks about Gang of Four, Raincoats, Essential Logic etc. First paragraph:
"'Don't romanticize it,' Geoff Travis said to me. Travis is the founder of Rough Trade, the U.K.'s most important and adventurous independent record company. He was talking about Britain's postpunk pop avant-garde, of which Rough Trade is a vital center - or perhaps the only center."

Yeah , I'm a bit mixed-up between the two ( I never use them ). Anyway , Joy Division is sometimes labeled cold wave , new wave , gothic , bat cave , industrial rock , etc. , no need to add post punk. They're just post-labeled. |

i wouldnt call either coil or throbbing gristle anyything close to post punk. both are too extreme. throbbing gristle for one thing was making music befote punk even, and were industrial to the core. i can see how one might call coil post punk because it could be argued that they would not have been able to exist prior to punk, but there music sounds nothing like punk whatsoever. the only thing they share in common with even the most experimental post punk bands like the pop group and pil is being experimental. their music borders on industrial, noise, dark ambient, drone, and a buncha other extreme genres. they rule anyways.
i shoul have included gang of four-entertainment!, all put that tied at 10.
