Post-Punk - Which is the greatest album?

[Fnaar]

I love the Special's first album, but 2nd and 3rd also have terrific moments, just with a different vibe. Hey look, it's the Specials in smileys:

Not what I would mean by post-punk though.

Anyway, this is all pointless. I gave you the correct answer on Post Number Two

 

[Rhythm Thief]

am i right in thinking that marquee moon is actually pre punk?

that's me told.

Joy Division were never really a big chart act, so they also have that cult following thing going for them. Maybe calling them crap is a bit much, their classics really are classics, but on the evidence of Substance there ain't much more to them musically than that. I guess Ian Curtis never meant anything to me, so I'm making my judgement solely on the music and not on the whole mythos that surrounds the band.

Substance is a collection of singles (A-sides and B-Sides) and compilation tracks. Great collection, but not necessarily their best stuff.

Try listening to Unknown Pleasures or Closer as a proper and complete albums.

if it was down to me there would be a little blue plaque outside the house on barton street where ian curtis lived and died, as there is on jimi hendrix's old house.
