Youtube Post-Punk Retrospective

My buddy, Josh Hoe and I put together this impressive list of the classics of post-punk, including links to relevant youtube videos. The dates listed refer to the year of the bands inception, not a release date for the song in the video. This is hours of fun to listen to and explore. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do -- if you see something is missing -- add it to the list. If you find a link to a better video, or just an alternate video that is pretty good, feel fee to leave it as a comment. We'd like to see this post grow into a massive homage to the era of music that we love.
