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 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.
