What's the best post-punk era album?

I'm talking 1978-1985ish. I love post punk because it, in many cases, takes the elements of punk and just refines them. Paste Magazine did a poll a couple of years ago that had the top spot for Television "Marquee Moon" and then Joy Division and Talking Heads reserved about 5 of the top 20 album spots. How many of you besides Cdawg and me are fans of this "genre" (which can include some new wave, dark wave, no wave, alt rock, Gothic rock, et al).
My tops in no particular order:
The Cult -- "Dreamtime" and "Love" (Electric CERTAINLY does not fall into this category...you get it).
The Chameleons -- "Script of the Bridge"
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry -- "Talk About the Weather"
Joy Division -- "Unknown Pleasures" and "Closer"
Suicide -- 2nd album
Wire -- "Pink Flag"
Alien Sex Fiend -- "Maximum Security"
Echo and the Bunnymen -- "Crocodiles"
Killing Joke -- Debut album; self-titled
Fields of the Nephilim -- Dawnrazor
The Cure -- Pornography
The Mission -- "God's Own Medicine"
The Gun Club "The Las Vegas Story"
The Jesus and Mary Chain -- "The Darklands"
I wanna know some of yours so I can gather some new music from this awesome genre of music.

Got some great ones listed here. REM - Murmer would be worth checking out.
Also, a little out of the date range but The Queen is Dead by the Smiths and Disintegration by the Cure also very good.

This is some of my favorite music, but I don't really know what fits and what doesn't. Lots of my favorites already listed. Question, does The Cars(1978) fit?

Best? It would literally change for me daily.
I never knew there were so many genres until Wikipedia started listing bands under a certain category.
I lot of this post-punk I like starts to fall into industrial or gothic to power pop. Maybe those are sub genres of this post punk. You've listed a lot of mine. I'd have to really think about a top 10 or so.

you sorta mix up a genre and a time period in my mind.
but anyway, I really liked Siouxsie and the Banshees, bauhaus, the cure, wire, PIL. I used to love husker du but I can't really seem to get into them now.

Not the best of the era, but check out Cactus World News- "Urban Beaches"
A pleasant surprise if you've never heard of them. Very typical of that sound and "Church of the Cold" is a great song.
Also, The Thought with their self-titled album from 1985.

Big Audio Dynamite - This Is Big Audio Dynamite. I played this tape and Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes so much that the tapes dragged through the songs because they didn't roll well anymore in the player. (If that makes sense)
