[lbo-talk] AllHipHop.com interviews Bad Brains about

The interesting thing about the chronological argument is a lot of bands
that are categorized as 'post-punk' actually have their origins before
punk.  Cabaret Voltaire is a good example of that, but there is also Pere
Ubu, Throbbing Gristle,etc. that fit that bill.  The counter-argument
might be that all these bands are strongly effected by the punk movement
and change their sound because of it.  There is also a side of post-punk
that is strongly influenced by dance music, disco, funk and hip-hop.
