Pink Flag - Punk
Chairs Missing - Post Punk
154 - Its own genre
Could I suggest the first B-52s album: post-slashing guitars+ punk kitsch ethic. I've subscribed!
- The Clash: Combat Rock (1982)
- The Fall (too many to list): Perverted by Language (1983; was my first Fall album and on par or almost as good as This Nation's Saving Grace).
- New Order: Low Life (1985; when I listen to PC&L, I think it's their best/my fav, then when I listen to LL, I think it's their best/fav. Both masterpieces).
- U2: The Joshua Tree (1987)
- Sonic Youth: Sister (1987), Daydream Nation (1988), Goo (1990), Dirty (1992)
- Einstürzende Neubauten: Tabula Rasa (1993)
- NC&TBS: From Her to Eternity (1984), Let Love In (1994)
PS: I've never heard of Grauzone, so I'll have to chase them down.
PPS: Do you need a top 25 indie list? If so, #1 it with Butthole Surfers (Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac (1985, uncut!) and #2 Locust Abortion Technician (1987).
PPPS: Maybe you need a deep dive on The Residents, especially their early (1970's) albums. Ditto with Hawkwind.
Other worthy entries (if there is a Volume 2)-
Comsat Angels- "Waiting For A Miracle"
Raincoats- s/t
Wire- "154"
Martha & The Muffins- "Metro Music"
Really Read- "Teaching You The Fear"
Dream Syndicate- "The Days of Wine & Roses"

Buzzcoks! OMD Architecture and Morality! Rational Youth. Other Factory bands: A Certain Ratio, Section 25, Cabaret Voltaire, etc. Units - Digital Stimulation (synth punk/post punk) X - their 2nd or 3rd record. Pylon - either of there first 2 Lps.
The Sound - From the Lion's Mouth might be the greatest post punk record of all time! Glad their phenomenal debut made the list 😊
XTC made the list, but their first 4-5 records are all better examples (especially Drums & Wires or Go2). Talking Heads made the New Wave list.. But still HAD to be represented here! Same with early DEVO.
Just my 10¢ 😂
