Not sure if there are many people here interested in this stuff, but here goes anyway. 

I've listed a few noisy rock/post-punk/alternative/grunge bands from 1980s and 1990s that I like or have liked. Nothing obscure but no household names either. Some are still active, some are not. All have, to me, a peculiar, quirky, original touch in their music. 

What are your favourites? Multiple votes allowed. Discussion and suggestions of similar bands welcomed.

I like one album with each of these bands
Fugazi 
Shellac
Sonic Youth
so they are a kind of my favourites.

Sonic Youth are one of my all-time favorite groups, so they’d be first here. After that, in order, would be Butthole Surfers, Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, and Melvins.

Which ones? 

I can't say which is my favourite Fugazi. They're more song than album band to me I guess. Terraform would be my favourite Shellac and with SY it's tie between Evol and Dirty.

Sonic Youth is nowadays also my favourite of these and I think I can say they're one of my all-time favourites, too. 

I was thinking whether I should include them in the poll since they're more of a category of their own if that makes sense. 

SY album poll might be in order some day.

What a poll! I think I'll go for Big Black today; Atomizer, Sound of Impact, and their EPs have long been depraved favs of mine plus that Roland character was a mean drummer

Two albums of early 80's Post-Punk, and which I'm very fond of, are
Bauhaus (UK) - In the Flat Field (1980)
Before (DK) - A Wish of Life (1982)

I saw Sonic Youth in Kilburn in 1989 and they were terrible.
