1. Post punk is, always has been, and always will be leagues ahead of punk, musically, politically and aesthetically.
  2. Joy Division were not the world's greatest post punk band. In fact, they were never even the best post punk band to come out of Manchester.
  3. Metal Box is worth less than the cool metal box it's packaged in.
  4. If you can't handle Jaz Coleman at his worst you don't deserve Killing Joke at their best.
  5. The early 00s post punk revival failed (for the most part) to bring back any of the funk, dub or industrial influences that made post punk so heterogenous and exciting to begin with, and only a few bands brought the disco influence back.
  6. There's an alternative timeline in which heavy metal was delayed by a few years, allowing NWOBHM bands like Iron Maiden to absorb the influence of post punk rather than punk. In this timeline grunge would have been invented in Britain and unfortunately that means Bush would've been much more successful over here.
  7. Asbestos Lead Asbestos is simultaneously the catchiest and most crushingly heavy non-Godflesh song of the whole accursed era and in a just world where the licence fee was being spent on creative talent rather than sexual abuse coverupsit might occur to more documentary makers that this - not Anarchy in the UK - should be the go-to tune for soundtracking their Thatcher-era montages of striking miners and Roland Rat and whatnot.
  8. Yeah Andy Gill was an amazing guitarist I'm sure but have you heard the guy's production skills? Unreal.
  9. Sisters of Mercy were the original post punk band that wasn't a goth band, inspiring hundreds of goth bands that weren't post punk bands (and also just aren't very good).
  10. You will now get Essential Logic stuck in your head, because I have decided that you will get Essential Logic stuck in your head and that is that my friends.
