^ I can vouch for that. Soundtracks For the Blind is one of the biggest mindf
uck albums a guy could ask for, which means bonus awesome points for them.
Goes without saying that post-punk is such a large term I couldn't possibly choose a favourite (Swans or no Swans). You could argue that bands as diverse as the Pogues, ABC, Pylon, DNA and Bauhaus are all post-punk in some way or other. Over the years (long before I got a LastFM account) I've listened to the Fall by far the most often though.
