021 - "What is Post-punk?" Follow-up - Why Talking Heads, Television, Ultravox and XTC lost out to Magazine

In this episode, I do a follow-up to Episode 005 - What is Post-punk and welcome to the Post-punk Heartstrings State of Mind– In that episode, I gave my own personal definition of post-punk and offered my pick for the first post-punk album released. After the episode, I received the following feedback from a listener: “Enjoyed this episode! I'd have been interested in more explication on what are the hallmarks of post-punk and why Television, Talking Heads, etc. were not counted. What exactly were the classic rock sounds you heard to keep them from being counted as a true post-punk album.” So, I decided to do a follow-up episode to explain a little more and provide some examples of why I excluded some of the releases the listener mentioned. Artists/albums covered are: Television – Marquee Moon – 1977 Taking Heads – Talking Heads – 1977 Ultravox – Ha! Ha! Ha! – 1977 White Music – XTC – 1978 Magazine – Real Life – 1978 All song clips are used without permission but under fair use for commentary purposes.
