You scored as The Teardrop Explodes. http://images.quizfarm.com/1126016356e83125zh2ls.jpg


Liverpool’s The Teardrop Explodes were one of the few post-punk band to achieve commercial success, with their eccentric front-man Julian Cope becoming an unlikely pin up in the early 80s. Their music was often called ‘neo-psychedelic’ due to their sixties sound and Cope’s surreal lyrics, best heard on 1980’s classic ‘Kilimanjaro’.

You scored as The Fall.



Manchester’s The Fall are one of the most prolific and enduring of the original post-punk bands. Mark E. Smith’s surrealist rants and idiosyncratic brand of ‘Country & Northern’ continue to command a large cult following, their debut, 1979’s ‘Live at the Witch trials’ is as good a place to start as any.

The music of Bristolian band the Pop Group was a confrontational mix of jazz, funk and dub reggae filtered through punk rock. Their left-wing lyrics and innovative music are best heard on their 1979 debut 'Y'.

What the HELL is TE doing in this group? And, if TE, why not Echo and the Bunnymen?

Damn, I need to pull out my vinyl. I would re-order these a bit to my liking:

Cabaret Voltaire
The Fall
Throbbing Gristle

I saw many of these bands live, though.

I got the Pop Group, too. Not that I know who they are. I don't listen to too much punk.
:)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Now I've gotta go find some Pop Group and Teardrop Explodes to listen to (based on the descriptions, I bet I'll like The Pop Group better)

I'd actually put you in the TE camp.

Wasn't TE Mike Scott? I'm forgetting the whole family tree. Where's my Podman?

Echo and the Bunnymen begat Teardrop Explodes.......

Julian Cope, who played with Ian McCulloch (Echo) in the band Crucial Three before forming TE

[Not Afraid]

Right, but somehow, there's a Six Degrees of Separation between TE and the Waterboys.Maybe it is the drummer.

You scored as Cabaret Voltaire.

Sheffield-based band Cabaret Voltaire were formed slightly before punk but are often said to be godfathers of electronica and industrial music. Their music is a innovative combination of synthesisers, tape samples and electronic beats, best heard on 'The Original Sound of Sheffield 1978-82'.

Dang, Lisa, I would order those almost exactly in that order. (I came out as Joy Division...hmmm. I don't think I'm nearly suicidal enough.)

You scored as Joy Division.



Manchester’s Joy Division remain one of the most popular and influential post-punk bands, perhaps thanks in part to singer Ian Curtis’ martyr-like status following his suicide in 1980. Their music is a dark, atmospheric, almost gothic sound which is complemented perfectly by Curtis’ tortured lyrics, best heard on 1980’s ‘Closer’.

Wire were arguably the band who provided the link between early British punk and post-punk, combining buzzing guitars and catchy choruses with an art-school approach to composition. They are best heard on 1977's 'Pink Flag'.
