Top Ten Best Post Punk Albums

The Top Ten
1 Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division

Should be number one

2 Deathconsciousness - Have a Nice Life
3 The Great Annihilator - Swans
4 Deceit - This Heat

Why is the Offspring in the top 5 :V

5 Remain in Light - Talking Heads
6 Closer - Joy Division

More, more votes for this, please! This album is the perfect example of how talent becomes genius and how genius becomes art when the creator experiences the uttermost pain and suffering in his own self. It's Arthur Rimbaud made music, for the unknown pleasures of us all.

This album totally deserves the top spot. If you listen to it, you might be depressed for the next few days, but your vision of how beautifully emotions can be conveyed will be changed forever. A gorgeous, powerful, exciting and raw masterpiece.

Absolutely perfect from the beginning to the end. One of the few albums from which you can not throw a single note. Joy Division at their highest point.

7 Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
8 Disintegration - The Cure
9 From the Lions Mouth - The Sound
10 Pink Flag - Wire
The Contenders
11 Entertainment! - Gang Of Four
12 Y - The Pop Group
13 The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
14 Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! - Devo

Their cover of Stones's 'Satisfaction' is still one of the cleverest cover-versions of all time and there's not one bad track on the album. And Eno's production has stood the test of time too.

15 Script of the Bridge - The Chameleons
16 Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol

Emotional and claustrophobic

17 The Second Annual Report - Throbbing Gristle
18 Metamatic - John Foxx
19 White Noise - XTC

Isn't this supposed to be 'White Music'?

20 Smash - The Offspring

The best selling independant album of all time xD

21 Talking Heads '77 - Talking Heads
22 Metal Box - Public Image Ltd.

The Offspring aren't a post-punk band.

23 Night Time - Killing Joke
24 Jeopardy - The Sound
