    Modest Mouse? That's not post-punk..?

    There's also two albums I'm not sure about...
    Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade, could you say parts of it is Post-Punk? Or would you call it more something like Alternative Rock?

    Also, if anyone has heard Lydia Lunch - Shotgun Wedding, what to categorize that as? I feel it's something around Post-Punk, but also maybe Grunge?

  • DEVO are both Post-Punk and New Wave (and Electro-Pop, and crap if you count all their albums).

    A Different Kind of Tension is more Post-Punk than Punk I'd say.

    Zen Arcade is somewhere between Hardcore and Alternative Rock. (or simply filed under SST-Band)

    And Lydia Lunch is Post-Punk.
