I feel like this forum needs a post punk discussion thread. I recently began getting into the genre (sparked by my interest in Talking Heads) and have found a vast amount of amazing music (Gang of Four, Joy Division, The Psychedelic Furs etc.) I'd be interested to hear from others about your favorite post punk/ new wave bands or albums. Post punk and new wave as genres are defined by their diversity so I don't want this thread to be too restrictive; If you have something that maybe wouldn't be strictly defined as post punk/ new wave but has some of those influences i'd love to hear about it.
If you are unfamiliar with post punk and want to see (hear) what it's all about, a few albums I would strongly recommend are:
Unknown Pleasures - Joy division
Entertainment! - Gang of Four
Talking Heads 77 - Talking Heads
Pink Flag - Wire
Marquee Moon - Television
Real Life - Magazine
Waiting for a Miracle - Comsat Angels
Psychedelic Furs - Psychedelic Furs
Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol
Head over Heals - Cocteau Twins
Each of these albums bring a something a little different to the table but all are great albums in my opinion.
So what are some of your favorites?
