What is the essentialest post-punk?

is this even post punk??

i thought it was 60s~70s garage rock revival

>>72958879
it is. post punk is like 1980's joy division, siouxsie and the banshees, the cure, etc

>>72958905
listen to unkown pleasures and then is this it.

they do not look alike

>>72958905
i have a real problem classifying music past 80s.

>>72959100
i was agreeing with anon that it is garage rock revival not post punk buttface

t. overrated

Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance
Wire - Chairs Missing
Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves
PiL - Metal Box
This Heat - Deceit
Swell Maps - Jane From Occupied Europe
Mission of Burma - Signals, Calls and Marches

>>72959133
i wouldn't say overrated. but unpopular opinion: room on fire is better than is this it

>>72959204
it's a close call for me, but Is This It beats Room on Fire by a little on lyricism. Room on Fire is on par with musicality, though. It's a more diverse album, too.

>>72959249
i get why its generally considered second, especially since this is it was their first album, i listen to room on fire more and always all the way through

unknown pleasures
>stock standard alternative rock album with some reverb and a sad frontman
the only thing that's impressive is that it came out in 79 but by that time television, mars, and the velvet underground had already happened

can this wise sages make one alt rock chart?

i feel the need to have it documented

you cunts never mention porcupine

>>72959288
it's worth noting that First Impressions of Earth has some of The Strokes most underrated songs. Namely:
>Red Light
>Ize of The World
>15 Minutes
>Razorblade
>Ask Me Anything

honestly take out the 3-4 filler-y songs and it's on par with the first two for me.

>>72959394
every time.

>>72959440
ill have to give it a re-listen, honestly haven't paid any attention to anything outside of those two in a while

>skipping Juicebox

>>72959476
it's got a pretty different tone (not as different as Angles, tho). I understand why people wouldn't like it a ton, but I think that it has some really strong songwriting and the direction they took fine by me. it's just a little messy as an album, not as tight as the first two.

>>72959440
Juicebox and YOLO were singles. And pretty big ones at that. So I didn't really think of them as that underrated.
