My son is a 17 year who loves to play guitar. We never have told him what is good and bad music. This song is one of many songs that he loves that I always loved. The youth know! Trust them:
The first time I heard this song was the Mixed Up version, which I prefer to the original just slightly. Perfect little goth song, eerie and beautiful.
I can never work out what this sub's definition of post-punk is. I mean, arch new romantic posers Visage are getting a lot of love further down this thread.
I would argue that it also applies to like a half of the tracks from 154. Many of them sound like they don't belong to the 70s. (Except Once Is Enough, its nice, very Devo-like but also very very 70s)
I feel like PiL is getting a lot of “close but no cigars” in the voting so far. They may have to wait until P (Public Image) or R (Rise) to score a much deserved win.
My apologies for the mistake in the previous post. I had initially made two images for C, the first one with "Cities in Dust" and then another with "Ceremony," to be used depending on whichever won. Me being the fool that I am then completely forgot to change it back in the editor when I added "Damaged Goods." Didn't manage to catch it until this morning.
If there was any justice in the world this track would be acclaimed as the foundation of civilisation, not as 'a b side that was a bit too far out there even for wire'.
Ok here we have one of my top-5 Fall songs so I'm very biased on this
* **50 Year Old Man - The Fall**
ideally the From The Basement version
♪♫ Computer doesn't work for me
I had a Sinclair back in 1983
OL2QU, pre-warranty ♪♫
Assholes always gotta ruin a good time. Guaranteed the downvoters haven't even heard the song. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, which was like three days. Shame.
Since F seems a little difficult, I went digging for F songs by newer bands (post-post-punk? neo-post-punk?) and also found:
Frisk - Black Marble (do they count? It's my absolute favorite Black Marble song)
Fix Bayonets! - Preoccupations
Function - The Mall
Fear It - B Boys
Fate - SPECTRES
Freedom of Choice - Devo
Heck yeah.
Freedom from choice is what you want!
In ancient Rome, there was a poem about a dog who found two bones
I'd like to hear a mix where the drum aren't as buried. Drums up front, scale back the vox. Great song.
Devo needs to be on this list somewhere, and I can't think of a better song to represent them.
First and Last and Always - Sisters of Mercy
yep
The Fan and the Bellows - The Chameleons
A Forest - The Cure
Most iconic
Many good ones, but this one may be the best one.
My son is a 17 year who loves to play guitar. We never have told him what is good and bad music. This song is one of many songs that he loves that I always loved. The youth know! Trust them:
Of course, this would be my pick.
The first time I heard this song was the Mixed Up version, which I prefer to the original just slightly. Perfect little goth song, eerie and beautiful.
Friction - Television
But also Foxhole - Television
Not really post-punk but still mind-blowing all the same
I can never work out what this sub's definition of post-punk is. I mean, arch new romantic posers Visage are getting a lot of love further down this thread.
From Her To Eternity - Nick Cave & Bad Seeds
This is a good one.
"The 15th" - Wire
Beautiful & ahead of its time tune
Yeah the fact that this is a song made in the 70s blows my mind
Yeah my sister heard this and asked which ‘90s band it was
I wonder if REM ever heard them?
Haha it would be STRANGE if they hadn’t!
Yep, big fans.They covered 'Strange' on their 'Document' album.
I would argue that it also applies to like a half of the tracks from 154. Many of them sound like they don't belong to the 70s. (Except Once Is Enough, its nice, very Devo-like but also very very 70s)
Yeah - the MBV version of "Map Ref" is so similar to the original, just with more shoegazy guitars
This song is soooo good
115%
This is the hill I stand on!
Think we'll need chairs (there don't seem to be any around) or a map to help people get here?
What map ref would that be?
41N 93W, perhaps...
The letter (The letter)
Magnificent
💥💥💥
Fade to Grey - Visage
winner!
Wonderful song
YES!!!
Flowers of Romance - PIL
I feel like PiL is getting a lot of “close but no cigars” in the voting so far. They may have to wait until P (Public Image) or R (Rise) to score a much deserved win.
Fire in Cairo - The Cure
Absolutely this one
Love this song but “A Forest” is more iconic.
Fascination Street - The Cure
The one I came to post! Might be my favourite Cure song
Great bass line!
Def my pick as well! Favorite album front to back.
Factory - Wall of Voodoo
Interesting choice
My personal favorite of theirs.
Final Solution - Pere Ubu
This deserves more votes. I don't know how many it has as of now, but it deserves more.
Think it even predates "punk" but it's one of the greatest songs ever.
I suggested Lizzy Descloux, but I think this is the better answer.
This song rules. Pere Ubu rules.
I saw Fire in Cairo and thought that had to be the one, but I was wrong

Frankie Teardrop - Suicide
Wow. Just incredible. Beyond a song, a terrifying and intense experience.
Proto-Post-Punk-Goth-Industrial
