If you so desperately want Pere Ubu on the list, I'll put them where Remain In Light is once I get around to the worldbeat list.

The Idiot is a pretty good album. I'm sure some people have been influenced by it. Dub Housing is one of the most important post-punk albums and is also really really good. You're way outvoted here - you don't get to unilaterally decide what's on the lists. I would also probably oppose putting Remain in Light on a worldbeat list - yes, the genre tag fits, but it's one of the key post-punk albums and it makes more sense to keep it on a list that will actually be competitive than to put it on one where half the people voting will come in knowing that they want it to win and not really caring about anything else on the list.
