The first two Pop Group albums are great. Post Punk is a really broad genre though. I don't think many people would comparing Metal Box by PIL with Seventeen seconds by the Cure, for example.
Josiah Edwards
The one that inspired them all.
Xavier Myers
All great choices
Landon Howard
This is the true patricians pick
Levi King
Stand aside. Leave post-punk to me.
Luke Davis
This one
Levi Hernandez
>I DAAAAAAARE YOU
>TO BE REAL
Angel Bailey
No competition
Oliver Thompson
SHE DOESN'T THINK SO, BUT SHE'S DRESSED FOR THE H-BOMB
Lucas Brooks
Damn. Post Punk is one kick ass genre.
Matthew Robinson
based
Hunter Bailey
DOOOOM SITS IN GLOOOOM IN HIS ROOOOOOOM
Landon Johnson
This is the final boss of post-punk.
Christian Hernandez
Haven't listened to those, wrong day for RED to be down :(
Aaron Ross
Alexander Cruz
The Cure one is the best. The Public Image one is the worst. The Fall is middle ground.
Gabriel Fisher
best postpunk record since Deathconsciousness passing through
Dominic Morgan
You don't know what post-punk is.
Cameron Cox
agree with the ranking, but it's not to say PIL is bad, Seventeen Seconds is just unfairly good
Nathaniel Jenkins
you have a very narrow idea regarding what postpunk is
Hudson Myers
>not even the toughest in their discography
Xavier Wright
Best revival
Angel Moore
I fucking adore these guys. The Demonstration is my album of the decade so far.

Thomas Barnes
Protomartyr, Idles, and Parquet Courts fucking suck and I can barely even hear any post-punk in their music. They sound like a watered down clone of a clone of Interpol, who are already a watered down clone of Joy Division.
Those bands are several generations of copycats removed from true post-punk.
Henry Myers
Mah’ nigga. Totally agree.
Ryder Ross
am I banned
Lincoln Brown
Was this album post-punk, or something else?
Nathan Lewis
David Hall
I saw these guys live with Deafheaven. Didn't know anything about them beforehand but they were incredible live
Jeremiah Richardson
I'm genuinely confused how you hear any of Joy Division's sound in any of those bands.
Easton Martin
I don’t understand the comparison of Interpol with Joy Division.
Sound more like The Chameleons to me...
Kevin Reyes
Lead bass + guitar playing accompanying melodies has only been done by Joy Division apparently
Colton Ross
Nah,
Perverted by Language > 17 Seconds
Perverted by Language is a legitimate work of genius. Smith's best, most oblique lyrics ever combined with some truly evocative experimental compositions. The Cure were great but 17 Seconds doesn't have the grandeur or energy of their best work, and it has too much filler. It's good as a mood piece but it's hardly a substantial piece of art once you dig into it
Bentley Perry
Why are the chameleons so fucking underrated?
Easily one of the best post punk albums.
Logan Ortiz
>Interpol sound more like The Chameleons
This comparison makes much more sense. I feel like people only make the JD comparison because Paul Banks and Ian Curtis are both baritone vocalists. Stylistically, the bands sound completely different.
Aaron Jackson
This is my favorite from them.

Liam Ramirez
Why does this get so much praise? Siouxsie & The Banshees are one of my favorite bands, but this album kinda sucks. It has some of my favorite Banshees songs on it, but the quality varies wildly from song to song and the tracklists seems to be random. None of them sound like they really belong on the same album. It's a bit of a mess.
Ryan Phillips
All three of their albums are fantastic. Reminds me of Wire with a untouchable three album run and then done.
Ayden Lee
Does this count?
Ayden Watson
It's not post-punk.
Mason Ramirez
I think its post-punk. I don't know why it isn't accepted in the popular post-punk canon.
Ian Jenkins
holy shit this album rips
Ethan Diaz
You were close, OP.
Jace Ramirez
>Does this count?
It does to me. Good choice.
Zachary King
>It's not post-punk.
The music itself is not punk. The band was known, prior to this album, as a punk band. But this came AFTER that. The word "post" means "after." Hence, London Calling is "post punk."
Gabriel Gray
Nothing in this thread even comes close to the first 3 Pere Ubu albums.
Blake Diaz
/thread
James Cook
cringe
Ryder Parker
YOu were so close mate
William Rogers
not the best, but one of the better ones from this decade.
Brayden Richardson
easy
Luke Hughes
What is the post punk? I'm always feeling confused about this genre.
Liam Ward
I agree. As a huge Banshees fan, I was always a bit disappointed in this one. Besides some great stuff there's a lot of forgettable atmosphere and filler pieces on this album.
Wyatt Foster
How about some honorable mentions?
The Wolfgang Press

Liam Hill
Earworm as fuck but those vocals. Can’t get past them.
Zachary Peterson
This was okay but it kind of blew my mind when I googled it and found out it was released by blank banshee of vaporwave
Isaac Martinez
david's vocals rule, dude
Liam Reed
No. No they don’t. He’s a fat fuck and it shows. Dreadful band.
Nathaniel Cox
Speaking of Pere Ubu.
David Martin
there are some great answers in this thread but I don't think anything quite gets there
this one is very close
also nearby
but I think post punk peaks with the record pictured because nothing sounds like it except itself and it is inspired to a fault
the only knock against it is that it compiles previous eps, but that doesn't matter because it's a masterpiece
10/10 all time music

Jace Brown
I like it but when I listen to it all I can think about is how much it sounds like Siouxsie & The Banshees. OCD I guess...
Ian Sanders
not post punk
and if you include this kind of stuff then I think the Homosexuals or Swell Maps easily win
Josiah Jackson
what is it then
Michael Morgan
It's punk without testosterone.
Nicholas Gray
see
Adam Nguyen
oh whoops you mean what genre is it. whatever genre you call Homosexuals or Swell Maps. punk, art rock, something something. adjacent to post punk but different influences
Anthony Allen
Kek. Good answer. Pere Ubu to a T.
