CONTAINS:
BIG COUNTRY (many, many things from 1983-1986,
not nearly as much from 1991-1993)
CHAMELEONS (a nice career overview, because they
never stopped kicking ass in their brief, numbered days)
COMSAT ANGELS (1979-1982, 1986)
CREATURES (a little bit of everything from
throughout their career)
ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN (the classic lineup, most
everything from 1979-1987)
JOY DIVISION (most everything from the official
releases)
MODERN ENGLISH (1980-1984, and then they shit the
bed in a big way)
NEW ORDER (Movement
through Substance, and a lot of
the non-album single stuff that didn’t make Substance)
OMD (most everything 1979-1983, a handful of
things from 1984-1986, thinking about adding some English Electric if it’ll fit)
SIMPLE MINDS (lots from 1979-1984, odds and ends
from 1985-1991)
SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES (a healthy selection
from throughout their career)
U2 (pre-Boy
singles through The Joshua Tree, and
a few tunes from after that)
Say what you will about U2, but they were
post-punk back in the day, despite whatever it was they became after ’84. And The
Joshua Tree will always be a sentimental fave, so screw all the haters.
Big Country probably isn’t technically post-punk,
but they fit in good here. Plus, I hate
technicalities.
Most every band here has had decent re-issues
with non-album stuff, so a lot of that is included for everyone except the
Creatures.
I’ve had to shuffle things around and move some
music off of here due to space constraints, so Durutti Column, Gary Numan,
Felt, Death Cult, Tones on Tail and others have been shuffled off to other mp3
players. No Bauhaus. I want to like them, but I just can’t. Too fucking pretentious.
