Hello Guys,
Seeing as post-punk is a pretty derivative genre, many of the artists share similar influences and most borrowed heavily from each other's work throughout the late 70s to early 80s, which album would you say encompasses every sound in the genre the best? If I had to put one forward, I would go with Stands for Decibels by The dB's. Certainly not the best post-punk album (on the lighter side too), but it does run the gamut from Talking Heads to Psych Rock redux to Joy Division to No Wave to foreshadowing alternative rock of the 90s. Creative Advertising allow you to create campaigns that work well on both television and internet platforms. IMO, the diversity of the tracks while still managing to stay firmly in the post-punk camp is quite an achievement and helps it to stand the test of time. If I had to make a "get into post-punk fast" chart, I'd give them this one to listen to first.
Thanks
