OH LORK, CONTENT!
Adam and the Ants - Cartrouble Parts 1&2
The first Adam and the Ants album, Dirk Wears White Sox, is excellent but after this one they go in a really terrible new wave direction. Don't look any further into them.
Bauhaus - A God in an Alcove
Bauhaus is pretty awesome from In the Flat Field to Sky's Gone Out, Burning from Inside and Go Away White aren't very good.
The Cure - The Holy Hour
Everyone knows The Cure, but most people don't know that they used to be awesome before Robert Smith turned into a medicated freak. You should listen to their first four albums.
The Damned - Generals
Okay, so technically not Post-Punk, but fits in with the general feel of the scene. Their early albums are punk, later stuff is gothic art rock.
Joy Division - Wilderness
Awesome band, it really is too bad that we only got two albums before the vocalist hung himself. Want a band to blame for goth rock, blame these guys.
Magazine - Permafrost
Their first album is better, but this song is one of my favourite by Magazine. You remember the Buzzcocks? One of their early members who decided he was too awesome for them is the main songwriter for Magazine. He made a good choice, wasted talent would have been wasted.
Public Image LTD - Annalisa
One of the earlier post-punk releases, despite the cover art this is a very rewarding listen.
The Raincoats - The Void
This is an album worth getting on vinyl, absolutely sublime from start to finish. It is, however, most certainly mood music. Keep it for a rainy day, like the garment the band is named after.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Icon
Even Fenriz loves Siouxsie, if that isn't enough of a reason to click that link and listen for five minutes, you should reevaluate your life
Wire - Field Day for the Sundays
Post-punk in one of its earliest forms, the Sex Pistols influence is still pretty noticable in Pink Flag. Listen.
