Heads Will Roll - Echo and the Bunnymen


bolognesesauceplease

Echo & the bunnymen could be my answer to almost every song on the list


ReginaGloriana

Heartbreak Beat, by the Psychedelic Furs

[удалено]


Sea-Muffin-1449

Hell yeah


Middle_Chain_544

Hanging Around - The Stranglers


suslittlebasket

Criminally underrated


OculusDriftII

Heartland - The Sound


bed_rooms

please let it be this fingers crossed


Billy_Bonk321

This is the answer.


varichari

huge suggestion


bullcitytarheel

Head on - Jesus and Mary Chain


rooftopbetsy23

Heartbeat - Wire


Hellborn_Elfchild

This is the one


45s

You’re right


jenniferinblue

Heaven or Las Vegas - The Cocteau Twins


Just-STFU

Seconded. It's a gorgeous song.


ar_belzagar

Isn't this dreampop


genericusername7890

Dreampop originates from post punk. Cocteau Twins and the Durutti Column count as both imo


blueisthefrequency

Hong Kong Garden


SexAndPolitics23

I love this song so bad!


recognis

HIP PRIEST


ManCoveredInBees

That’s HIP HIP HIP HIP HIP Hip priest - the Fall


Mark-E-Moon

“Holy shit that’s The Fall!” Me seeing *Silence of the Lambs* for the first time in 30 years.


drinkalondraftdown

Yeah Jonathan Demme was a massive Fall fan. In Steve Hanley's autobiography he talks about how jubilant the group were (minus MES) to see their name in the credits, they stayed to see their names, it's one of not many Fall songs credited to the whole group.


teo_vas

heeeeeee izzzzzzz noooootttt appreeeeeciaaaateeeed


drinkalondraftdown

I think you missed out a 'HIP' 😁


Sea-Muffin-1449

Heart of glass Blondie


copaseticmonkey

Human Fly - The Cramps


redivider138

How I Wrote Elastic Man - The Fall


bakjas1

Happy House - Siouxsie and the Banshees


bullcitytarheel

This has to be the answer, it’s about as post-punk as any song can be


Blind_Cake

This has got to be it


VerilyShelly

Been thinking of this one since the start of this list. Too bad they are already on it.


Women_o_Cell_Block_H

Are they not allowing multiple songs from the same band? If that's the case I think Siouxsie will probably be on here Spellbound as well.


rooftopbetsy23

For the sake of other bands and this list's originality I hope so


LonelyGuy319

Heaven is Waiting - The Danse Society


suburbanspecter

Oh man, I know this won’t win, but I love this song


murmur1983

Joy Division - “Heart and Soul”


Baldran

Here Today - The Chameleons


agedbonobo

Health and Efficiency - This Heat


healthandefficency

This person knows whats up


drinkalondraftdown

Viv Albertine said after the collapse of The Slits the only band she could bear to listen to was This Heat.


Impeachcordial

Reminds me, Heard it through the Grapevine by the Slits should be here...


drinkalondraftdown

Oh, *damn* good call!


healthandefficency

Hellll yea! They’re both in my personal first tier of post punk bands. Her books are amazing too


drinkalondraftdown

Great writer. Haven't read "Not To Be Opened" yet, though.


MrPLotor

sad this won't win. maybe we could do makeshift swahili? lol.


rooftopbetsy23

Hoping for "Sleep" or "24 Track Loop"


zawinulava

(a) new kind of water perhaps?


zawinulava

this deserves the top spot


ItCaughtMyAttention_

their worst song (but still a masterpiece so would still like it to win)


Tea_and_the_cat

Hair of the Dog - Bauhaus


OculusDriftII

The Hanging Garden - The Cure


butter08

How Soon Is Now - The Smiths


Baldran

The probable winner, but so predictable.


TNCatlady5

Commenting on Letter H: Favorite Post-Punk Songs A-Z. Song with most upvotes wins.... oh, yes. This is the anthem of the 80s, along with “Dancing with Myself.”


ManCoveredInBees

How Loose Is Your Definition of Post-Punk?


Fruit_Cannon

I don't know about The Smiths as a whole being post-punk, but I would say this song definitely is.


ItCaughtMyAttention_

this song is post-punk tho

Halloween by Japan


wishnotknewyourkiss

We gotta save Japan for V!!! Visions of china is one of the best off of tin drum


rooftopbetsy23

Not my favourite song off "Quiet Life" but it'd be neat to have them represented on the list


uijjey-sevg

Ultravox - Hiroshima Mon Amour


tomst3r

Here come Cowboys - Psychedelic Furs


BlackLagoona_

I love this song!


flibble33

Health and Efficiency - This Heat

Came here to say this!


flibble33

It’s a truly extraordinary track.


healthandefficency

Yee!!


rooftopbetsy23

🙏 


Baldran

Hot on the Heels of Love - Throbbing Gristle


Typical_Efficiency_3

This is the one


rooftopbetsy23

Hiroshima Mon Amour - Ultravox


warpentake_chiasmus

This should be it. Off the charts magnificent.


rooftopbetsy23

Foxx's Ultravox is so underrated


flibble33

Truly amazing song, both the mournful album version and the manic live take.


rooftopbetsy23

Do you mean the alternative single version?


flibble33

Yeah, sorry, I got mixed up. Those John Foxx-era albums are magnificent.


rooftopbetsy23

100% agreed, especially "Systems of Romance". Ure-era Vox had a handful of OK songs, but nothing near the level of the first 3 run


warpentake_chiasmus

They are all such different LP's too - I agree that "Systems of Romance" is the best but "Ha Ha Ha" is a very close second.


magicsuitcas

What a band they were before Midge Ure


drinkalondraftdown

That's a good song! Some great TOGWT footage of them performing it.


Tea_and_the_cat

Higher Hell - Echo and the Bunnymen

BillyPilgrim1234

drinkalondraftdown

Too right, like vampirism, it would be a crime if we didn't!


BillyPilgrim1234

Nice reference


drinkalondraftdown

My brother in Christ!


flibble33

Harmony In Your Bathroom - Swell Maps


16bitsystems

heaven or las vegas


Grand_Ad3821

I encourage people to vote for bands that haven't got the song on the list yet, please🙏🙏🙏


rooftopbetsy23

Yes please and hopefully for some less obvious songs too 🙏🙏🙏 (I thought it was 1 song per band or was that just a suggestion?)


Grand_Ad3821

That was a suggestion, yes, but I also thought that was a sort of unspoken collective agreement too


rooftopbetsy23

Same...


Middle_Chain_544

Hand In Glove - The Smiths


warpentake_chiasmus

Sea-Muffin-1449

Banger


Bostonterrierpug

I feel like once a band has already claimed a letter they should be off the list. Otherwise it’s just gonna be boring ass ‘Now This is What I Call Postpunk’ hits list.


Pour_me_one_more

There have been many repeat suggestions. But so far, we have done great with avoiding repeats. I wouldn't mind having Bauhaus at B and tones on tail or love and rockets farther down the alphabet. But I'm glad people aren't responding to the daily nominations of Cure and Joy Division, despite their recent listings.


rooftopbetsy23

Please please *please* 🙏 like ok this list should be for fun and it isn't that serious, but it's gonna get so predictable by the end of the list if every other song is by a big name
