    Post Punk: Costello's first four albums, The Pretenders, Feelies - Crazy Rhythms
    Punk: X's first four albums, Vibrators - Pure Mania, Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

    Hell, I shouldn't have even started. There's too many great punk and post punk LPs to possibly list.

    I need to plug OMD here

    Like, if you never heard their first two albums, you're missing out on some very rough post punk/minimal synth greatness.

    Is this a 70's/80's only thread - there's tons of new post punk and post punk revival being released which may not be what you're looking for. I also agree with another poster that punk and post-punk don't really have much in common, especially these days. Post-punk is much more closely aligned with the new wave of punk.

    A few new post punk albums can be checked out here, but it favors newer indie and new wave stuff.

    The “new” 3 cd of Witch Trials is just the 2004 Sanctuary 2CD Issue spread over 3 cd’s.

    The Dragnet 2CD is the 2004 Sanctuary reissue with the second disc a couple of dodgy live recordings that have also been previously released.

    The lp’s are nice but the Witch Trials reissue has the US track listing (and sleeve art)

    A lot of pretty cool stuff between the 1980-1985. Stuff from Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland and I think Italy. Not Sure. Here's a few I liked on this:

    In the early 80's I abandoned my generation for a time and started listening to punkish bands like Psychedelic Furs and The Bongos, U2, punk that had gotten popular such as The Clash, glam punk Japan, art punk Talking Heads, 1st album acoustic punk from Violent Femmes, etc. But then I cam across Minutemen's What Makes a Man Start Fires, and suddenly I started hearing what seemed more real in terms of what punk was really about- at least to me anyway. I like (and for the most part still like) all of the bands I liked back then, but Minutemen still feel like something as urgent and real as it did back then. "Cast off/ me in these ropes/ I'm one knot/ tangled in a heap." Oh yeah!

    Punk was such a singles oriented genre that picking out albums is tricky but the first Clash, Wire and Damned albums were hard to top.

    The delineation is tricky. You could argue that Pink Flag, Blank Generation and Talking Heads 77, all released within a few short weeks of each other in the autumn of 77, were the true starting point for Post Punk though Marquee Moon also has a claim. As does Horses. Though hard to be "post" a movement that hasn't really happened yet.

    However for me there is one album that simultaneously maps out nearly all the directions that Post Punk could travel in - dub influences, free jazz influences, funk influences, contemporary classical influences, raging politics, future shock, existential dread, post colonial guilt, moving the bass to the front of the mix, turning guitars into percussion instruments and the pursuit of ideas over technical ability. Punk settled for a limited musical language and being less than its potential, Post Punk did the opposite. Only an element of electronic music and the direct involvement of women musicians are missing from this extraordinary music. You can trace a line all the way from Y through to RATM and especially Fugazi. Sounds and looks (thanks to Dennis Bovell and Don McCullin) like literally like nothing else on earth. Cut gets more of the critical praise but Y is the true poison.

    I don’t think anyone else has mentioned it but when it comes to great punk albums you can’t go wrong with The Adverts - Crossing The Red Sea ; and X Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents

    I've seen a fair few punk/post-punk related threads here. Not everything shows up in history, we know that.

    Completely! Love that dancey mix of I Love A Man In Uniform.

    Can I also recommend Magazine's 'Real Life'?

    I'm spoken about this but even though Ultravox did have a good run of synth pop records and at least one really good album with Ure (Vienna), I think in terms of how influential they were in that first year gets forgotten all the time. I Want To Be A Machine is a blueprint post punk song cut in 1976.

    I like the musical progression of The Mekons, from punk to cowpunk and punk country. Back to punk-like music this year.

This line-up, with a little help of Levene (who was in Public Image Ltd) recorded and released The Original Sin album in 1979.
