TOP 25 Post-Punk Songs

IN MY OPINION, these tracks can be listed amongst the top 25 songs post-punk has ever offered; but primarily this list aims at representativeness rather than completeness.

I admit that there are many NOTABLE OMISSIONS.

All comments are welcome.

(In this video, you will see bands/artists like Joy Division, Bauhaus, Public Image Ltd., et al).

RIP Ian Curtis

I wouldn't really consider Sisters of Mercy post-punk, but regardless, not a single band I'm not a fan of in your list :)

Nice compilation :)

But no Talking Heads? :(

@Blackmilk81 Number 26 is Talking Heads - "The Great Curve"

@Blackmilk81 I absolutely Disagree---GOTH is Post Punk and Sissies (and Souxie & the Banchees/The Cure) can be included. Here are my choices (all these are awesome-check em out on You Tube): Pink Turns Blue, The Sound, Comstat Angles (first three LPs only), Chamelions UK, PIL, Bill Pritchard, Adult Net, Souxie & The Banchees, the Fall, Killer Joke, 17 Pygmies, The Box, The Police, LLoyd Cole & Commotions, Robyn Hitchcock & Egyptians, Lush, Sad Lovers & Giants, Bongos, Church, LAs, Rain Parade,

@victoriapabst123 - the selection is ''Post'Punk'', not Punk. Why don't you do your own list and reveal your impeccable taste ?

[Prozak931]

@victoriapabst123 fail at trolling

[victoriapabst123]

these ain't even punk music. you shouldv'e added the misfits or social distortion or the dead milkmen or something better then what you have. these are like country/rock. you shouldv'e made the title something else also. (worst video I ever seen.)

Too much Devo and not Cure enough...sorry...

[dopeHC3city]
