Thats a greatest hits album.....
But it did introduce a lot of non-goths in this country to the Cure.
Not sure The Cure was the "best" post punk but it was one of the most unique sounds I remember from that time. REM Murmur was another good one.

Wow! So many awesome albums already mentioned - this is my absolutely favorite music. No way I could ever pick a "best". Let's see, what can I add:
The Jacobites "Lost in a Sea of scarves"
The Fall " I am curious Oranj" (kudos to the previous Fall mention)
The Replacements "Let It Be" and "Tim"
Big Black "Songs About fricking"
My Bloody Valentine "Strawberry Wine"
Dinosaur Jr "Your Living All Over Me" and "Bug"
Seriously great thread here. Several albums I have not heard and I will certainly check out.

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.

The Mats are one of my all-time favorite bands, but I can't call them post-punk. And if we're including American hardcore (Husker DU), then let's throw in Black Flag and the Minutemen. But I don't think that's the intent. I mean, I can't even include Talking Heads, even if they fit sonically in with post-punk because the timeline doesn't work: they were part of the original wave of CBGB's punk. Which also includes Television and anything Richard Hell did.
I'll go with Signals, Calls, and Marches by Mission of Burma. Still close to punk, but man... I f'n love Burma.
It's such a tough genre to pin down.

The first two Public Image Ltd. albums. To me "Public Image" by PiL and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division are the two ultimate post-punk singles.
Interpol came along about 20 years after post-punk. But they nailed the sound and vibe on their first two albums.

Like I said, I can take it. Knew I'd get slammed on both album choices. 1987 must have been my year. 8th grade was the shite!

The timelines of punk and post punk overlap. And a band like Television was part of the punk scene but you can't say the music they made was punk.They were definitely one of the pioneers of a post punk sound. Same with Bauhaus.....who should be on the list with their LP "In the Flat Fields". I consider Post Punk to be an encompassing term for all sorts of sub genres such as American Hardcore, Goth, Paisley Underground, Industrial,electronic, No Wave, etc.

That's pretty much why Punk isn't a genre.

Television and Talking Heads invented punk (along with others, of course). they weren't post-punk because punk didn't exist yet. They were literally part of the original CBGB's scene from which the term punk comes from.
But it demonstrates that the sound of punk was far more diverse than people think. Particularly early on, punk was a far more art school kind of crowd.
It wasn't until about 1980's when we get what modern ears think of as punk, which was the movement of American hardcore. Punk was more of the concept of Year Zero, that we "rip it up and start again" with no past baggage. It was an intentional moving away from ripping off the blues.

Punk was an attitude or movement or time. The music and musicians all fit better in some other real genre.
