If Deceit by This Heat is considered post-punk, then that. If it isn't... then Wire's 154 (which I have been digging quite a bit lately). It's very atmospheric and ethereal... and there is so much going on in each song.

Deceit is probably my number 1, maybe followed by Monkey Banana Kitchen

or idk maybe Entertainment! is the best

or "Real Life"

I could go a lot of different routes here.
Yep second that, the Cramps first album isn't bad either.

Early Joy Division surely would come under that category, although I'm not sure about this being under the 'greatest' section

Early Joy Division is more like punk rock, though. Are you referring to the days when they were under the name Warsaw? If so, I can't really see it being post-punk.

All great albums. I've always found Real Life to sound sort of dated, though.

I thought a house in the suburbs was all that was after punk...

Always loved Young Marble Giants' Colossal Youth. Not suie if it's the greatest post-punk album but I'd place it among the best.

Minutemen : Double nickels on the dime. Maybe not the best,but surely one of the best.

I find it hard to pin down just what Post-Punk is, and by the sound of it, so do most other people. It's one of those things that you know when you hear. Personally, my favorite Post-Punk album is Substance 1977-1980 by Joy Division. I know it's a compilation album, and it has some of their very early work on it (which takes some warming to), but it excels at being both a compilation album and work of post-punk. It's danceable, and very 70s, unlike what post-punk has evolved into now.

I used to be into the Editors, and WAY big into Interpol, but it's very shallow music to me when it comes down to it.
