Suicide were around since '71 or '72 I believe, so they predate the **** out of no wave. And if they played guitars there wouldn't even be a question about them being proto-punk. I'd definitely dump Radio Birdman, Death, or the Heartbreakers for Suicide. I'm also sad at the loss of Pere Ubu for post-punk. Is The Idiot really a post-punk album?
