POST-PUNK (WHAT HAPPENED NEXT)

The list author says:
	"quite possibly the greatest album of all time, despite the fact that Ian Curtis supported man utd (what a w*nker)...."

The list author says:
	"a ground breaking dub-influenced minimalist masterpiece (1979 was simply the greatest year for music ever)...."

The list author says:
	"massive fringes, long coats, moody looks....stars are stars and they shine so hard on Merseyside...."

The list author says:
	"the sound of industrial Sheffield set to music by the band who pioneered sampling (or maybe they just copied Can)....the 70 billion people of earth - where are they hiding?"

The list author says:
	"a wacky collection of early singles and BBC session tracks (with occasional comments from John Peel)...."

The list author says:
	"northern white crap that talks back - the first of many magnificent Fall albums...."

The list author says:
	"intense, jangly, arty indiepop starts here (plus they're named after the main character in my favourite book)...."

The list author says:
	"Mark Stewart's bleakly poetic lyrics and primal screaming backed by a deranged mix of punk/reggae/dub/funk/jazz (with masterful production work by Dennis Bovell)...."

The list author says:
	"another crucial Dennis Bovell production (and the Pop Group's Bruce Smith on drums following the exit of Palmolive) - a massive departure from the Slits' early Peel sessions (with added mud)...."

The list author says:
	"Palmolive went on to form the Raincoats and appeared on this excellent debut album before they gave her the boot as well...."

The list author says:
	"three stabs of uneasy listening and the infamous 'nurse with wound list'...."

The list author says:
	"you can probably count the number of great bands from Leeds on the fingers of one hand (or possibly just one finger). superior versions of 8 of these tracks are on the Peel sessions cd...."

The list author says:
	"the first and best album by Howard Devoto's post-Buzzcocks band ('SECONDHAND DAYLIGHT' and 'THE CORRECT USE OF SOAP' are also worthy of your attention)...."

The list author says:
	"experimental, uncompromising and generally not for the squeamish...."

The list author says:
	"a difficult but satisfying album following the unexpected exit of half the band - I'd also highly recommend their Peel sessions and singles collections...."

The list author says:
	"a DIY tour de force...."

The list author says:
	"some indie white boys and a funky drummer make earnest attempts at getting into the groove (and mainly succeed)...."

The list author says:
	"Wire's brilliant third album, featuring the wonderful 'MAP REF 41 DEGREES N 93 DEGREES W' (but you should also get the first two: 'PINK FLAG' and 'CHAIRS MISSING')...."

The list author says:
	"XTC's third album is also probably their best...."

The list author says:
	"more proof that Liverpool was a great place to be in the early 1980s (and not just because I lived there)...."

The list author says:
	"an excellent compilation which includes the Cure's first 3 singles, and was released in the USA instead of their disappointing first album '3 IMAGINARY BOYS'...."

The list author says:
	"the original Human League before the band split in 2 and Phil Oakey & co became megastars (the other half of the band re-emerged as the moderately successful Heaven 17)...."

The list author says:
	"a low-fi ambient classic...."

The list author says:
	"it is my sincere belief that everybody should listen to 'HAMBURGER LADY' at least once before they die...."

The list author says:
	"the definitive account of how punk's raw power created a spirit of adventure that carried the music forward in so many different directions...."
