I like a lot of stuff from this list, even though I am not sure how many of these records I would call punk. As far as post-punk goes, Unknown Pleasures is something of a punk record with post-punk atmosphere, but The Cure is one of the least punk bands of the post ones.

Kick ass list. I'm definitely surprised that The Cure is on this list.
