"That's my favorite period of rock music history! I love early PiL, before Lydon turned into a self-parody. You left out the Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen and Bauhaus though. For shame! :)"
So it's kind of like that new documentary "American Hardcore," which proclaims hardcore died at the end of 1985, leaving out The Misfits and the Dead Kennedys in its "definitive" history of the movement, eh? :) (Seriously, how does any documentary on hardcore punk on the early 80s leave those two bands out?)
I have a big weak spot for Bauhaus, too. Through the wonders of Soulseek I uncovered some demos of theirs from '78 or '79, when they were still called Bauhaus 1919, that are just shit-hot guitar-driven stuff, incl. a couple of unreleased songs. They should officially release the material. All the earliest post-punk stuff you mentioned is very good -- The Cure's "Heroin Face."
