Talking Heads are SO Post-Punk.
I thought they were good.
Useless to me then, if they're hard to get into.

Talking Heads are Art Punk/New Wave.
You just said you didn't?
Impatient.
Have you tried Josef K, I think you'd like Josef K, kinda a blend of Indie Pop and Post-Punk. Highly influental on most of the stuff you like.

Post-Punk as well.
Let me rephase - I thought they were meant to be good.
...I have not. I'ma Wiki him/them.

I disagree with that genre ruling.

:laughing:

about 98% of all post punk could be described as 'art-punk'

Jesus people, Talking Heads are bluegrass.

Talking Heads had a lot of sh*t going on. Still don't like it. Best Post-Punk bands that live up to Joy Division?

If Talking Heads aren't Post-Punk, Echo & Bunnymen are sh*te and Wire are hard to get into.

Who else have I heard... The Fall, the jury's still out.

New Order, strangely enough, I don't give a sh*t about them.

I think I heard Orange Juice and Adam & The Ants once, but I didn't listen for long to have a judgement.

Can't really think of many other (supposedly) epic Post-Punk bands.

Would it be safe to say that Art Punk turned into Post Punk after Punk entered it's Exploited/Anti Nowhere-League era?

True I guess, I just don't think Talking Heads are Post-Punk really, idk.

Here's my call. The Art-Punk of Talking Heads (Who were only part of the CBGB's scene mainly by default. They were not really Punk of any kind, but they helped form part of the story anyways), along with PiL and Wire (esp. 154), helped pave the way to Post-Punk, and after most of the Class of '76 faded away, you could say that the first Post-Punk happened, taking the best of those bands along with it as part of it's major inspiration. So they could be called either in my book and still be correct, with Remain in Light being one of the first standout Post-Punk landmarks, possibly along with Wire's 154.
