Post-Punk 77 by CellarDoor
My favorite genre finally has its chart !!!
I have chosen to represent the classic post-punk decade, somewhere along the lines of 77-87.
A lot of different sounding albums get thrown into the post-punk bag, and I have tried to strip them down to the basic aesthetics. Therefore I haven't included new wave (B-52's, Devo, Talking Heads...), no wave (James Chance...), post-hardcore (Minutemen, Husker Du...), gothic rock (Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, some Cure...), synth pop (Human League...), synth punk (Suicide...)... So I guess this is my own definition of post-punk and you are most welcome to disagree. I chose a starting point with what Iggy Pop was doing on "The Idiot" and stopped around the morphing of the genre into noise / alt rock mid-80s (The Jesus & Mary Chain, Sonic Youth...).
Enjoy the music and please post recommendations :)

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.4/100, a mean average of 95.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 96.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 4.7.

Excellent list! Definitely my favorite genre at the moment. Will have to check a lot of these out. Thanks for the recommendations!
Very good chart. My interpretation of this genre would include gothic rock, though that's a personal thing, and mostly because I was introduced to Post-Punk through 5 bands - Joy Division, Bauhaus, Suicide, Tuxedomoon, and Talking Heads. But still, awesome chart, and even just for Tuxedomoon you deserve some major props.
What a wonderful theme for a chart! It just couldn't be done wrong.
The best years in music, IMO. Nice list. Still can't get in to Pere Ubu, though.
I have listened to Los Angeles - liked it! Under the Big Black Sun i will give it a try :)
Thank for the comment! Have you listened to The Las Vegas Story by the Gun Club. Also an album im not sure if it is post punk or not. For me Fire of Love is post punk, Miami aswell. They both came from the right period and were influenced by punk scene but thanks to Jeffrey Lee Pierce they were very influenced by the blues aswell. Same time when they were part of post punk scene they invented a new one called punk blues. :) So, if you have a chance can you tell me what you think about The Las Vegas Story.
What you think about Fire of Love? Post punk or not?
Very nice collection of albums. Some of my personal favorites like 23 Skidoo, This Heat, Au Pairs are nicely represented. Some recommendations:
Crispy Ambulance - The Plateau Phase
Lowlife - Permanent Sleep and Diminuendo
Breathless - Three Times and Waving
my favorite genre too...i will probably be adding a post-punk chart soon as well.
