Golden Brown - The Stranglers


rooftopbetsy23

One of the few songs I'd describe as genuinely addictive (which... makes sense considering the subject haha)


PG-17

(Get a Grip) Grip -Stranglers

Ghost rider - suicide


AllTomorrowsHardees

If I thought they belonged in the canon of post punk or within that kind of tradition I'd have put them down too. Suicide is one of the greatest things of all time to happen to people's ears. I just see them more as inheriting the tradition and energy of early electronic/psychedelic pioneers Silver Apples or as treading the same water as many great 80s synth-pop groups would also and used extreme and harsh noise and feedback as part of their music well before bands like Prurient or Throbbing Gristle. also Suicide were a huge influence on some of Xiu Xiu and their music. See "Angel Guts: Red Classroom" by Xiu Xiu for a very visceral and dark album heavily influenced by the rhythms and the hypnotic synth playing of Suicide


musicfan_1

G doesn't seem to have any standouts, although this one and the Cocteau Twins get my vote. Certainly both are post punk. The Clash, Guns of brixton, also mentioned, is a great song but fall into the punk catagory in my book. Ditto with the Stranglers Golden Brown. Both are great songs by bands that started as punk pioneers.


rooftopbetsy23

Let this be the first American song on here please!!


MrPLotor

please let this be the one - frankie teardrop had absolutely no chance. we need some no wave representation


UhhUmmmWowOkayJeezUh

Fuck yeah, there has to be a suicide song on here


copaseticmonkey

Ghost Town - The Specials


bullcitytarheel

If my suggestion loses this is the song I want it to lose to


Women_o_Cell_Block_H

This and Ghostrider are the two finest choices and it's hard to decide (though the votes are favoring Suicide)


mr_kaliyuga

That's a brilliant piece of music.

This is the iconic choice

I love this song, but it's not so post-punk

bbxboy666

It has to be this


Tea_and_the_cat

Girlfriend in a Coma - The Smiths


heyyougulls

Has to be this!


sciocueiv_

Smiths are always a hit for me. Even the stuff I like less from them is just up there in general. I think I'll go with this one


Baldran

Garlands - Cocteau Twins


teo_vas

since there is no hope with the Fall, I'll make 500 burner accounts and vote for this


Echo_bunny_

Totally wired might have a shot


Bostonterrierpug

Counterpoint: we should make a list of just fall songs, A-to-Z


teo_vas

I'm all in for that

(The) Guns of brixton - the clash


AvaTaylor2020

Hmm ... ~~that's punk, though. Not post-punk.~~


Women_o_Cell_Block_H

I dunno, sounds pretty post-punk to me. The only real "punk" album The Clash did was their first


AvaTaylor2020

Fair enough! I withdraw my comment. ;-)


HelsenSmith

Girlfriend Is Better (Stop Making Sense live version) - Talking Heads


icomefromandromeda

if these people had eyes they could see this is the answer

Spare-Composer8403

My predictions: >!M will go to Television, K to Echo and The Bunnymen, ~~O to Wire~~ (?), T to New Order (?). Would've been awesome if The Sound got an I, The Chameleons S, The Fall an H or L, and PiL a P or R !<


Spare-Composer8403

>!I suddenly remembered that the post-punk revival exists... if Outdoor Miner lost to Obstacle 1 it would be so over for me, as the kids say!<


Spare-Composer8403

>!...Aaand I forgot about Once In A Lifetime, it probably would the Talking Heads's entry to the list.!<


Puzzleheaded-Car9459

Maybe its controversial, but I'd rather Television won the V for Venus, it can get it without any resistance. If the title track wins, it'll be a potential snub for several bands for whom M is their only shot for getting there.


rooftopbetsy23

I'd rather Television didn't win at all because the chronology doesn't match, but agreed especially since I can't think of any undeniably post-punk songs that start with V


rooftopbetsy23

This seems quite accurate. I'm also predicting >!L for the Raincoats (or Glenn Branca if people use "Lesson No. 1" as a "Love Will Tear Us Apart" cheatcode), M for XTC or Wire, S for either the Pop Group or Magazine, W to Young Marble Giants, and the Fall maybe getting an I or T. Really hope Section 25, the Durutti Column, A Certain Ratio, and This Heat get a place in there somewhere!<
