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!

7. the killing joke-whats this for...!
8. joy division-closer
9. siouxie and the banshees-juju
10. the fall-this nation's saving grace/gang of 4-entertainment!

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!)

Correct on both counts. The Bunnymen are astounding, in fact, as are the Chameleons.

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.

Resounding YES! Since post-punk is not anything but thin air, Coil are totally a post-punk band and one of the best things to happen to the world ever. I do love a lot of the ones listed on this thread, though.
