A couple of bands which come to mind are The Violent Femmes and The Talking Heads.  For the first band, their s/t debut is a must-have.  For the Talking Heads, I would get any one of their first four...but Fear of Music and Remain In Light are their masterpieces. 
 
Oh and The Smiths are also worth checking out. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

So, I've been dipping a toe into the world of post-punk every now and again for a while now, but I seem to be doing it slightly wrong. Whilst I love all the weirder, fringey post-punk acts like Tuxedomoon, Stump and The Diagram Brothers, I just can't get my head round 'classic' genre-defining acts like The Fall.

Can anyone here recommend me a handful of essential post-punk albums so I can at least get a handle on what this highly creative movement was all about?
