Greatest Post Punk Album

PunkKitten138 · 05-06-2013, 01:09 PM

Personally i find anything by the Misfits to be great, and they will always be one of my favorite bands. Best album - American Psycho

(i dont really care for the Micheal Graves Misfits, only the Danzig)

I'm confused. If you don't like the Michael Graves incarnation, why is your favorite Misfits album one of the ones with Michael Graves?

OH my god... i feel like a retard. My bad. I dont really care for the Micheal graves, but American Pshyco was good.. i totally thought that Micheal Graves wasnt in that album i thought he came into the scene after that.

Walk among Us is my fav with Danzig... I feel like a utter noob.....

I guess everyone has their day.

Thank for calling me out Janszoon.

Also why are you talking about Misfits in a post-punk thread?

If y'all consider this Post Punk (not really familiar with the term) then my answer is:

Wire - Pink Flag

Real Life by Magazine
This Heat by This Heat
Marquee Moon by Television
Unknown Pleasures by Joy Divison
Crazy Rhythms by The Feelies

Not sure if anyone else considers it post-punk, but Iggy Pop's first solo album (The Idiot) is worth a mention, IMO. Since the threadstarter mentioned Joy Division, it's ironic that when Ian Curtis's body was discovered, Iggy Pop's The Idiot LP was spinning on the record player.

The Idiot came out in early 1977 which is a bit too early to be post punk. In fact The Idiot came out a few months before the Sex Pistols released Never Mind the Bullocks. That would make The Idiot pre-punk by most people's standards.

The Sex Pistols imploded during their American tour in January 1978, which is generally considered to be the end of the punk era.

Thanks for the correction. For some reason I thought that album came out in '78.
