The first single by John Lydon's post-Sex Pistols project, Public Image Ltd., helped define the post-punk sound: as intense as punk, but embracing a wider variety of sounds, from dub basslines to Krautrock rhythms to clangorous synthesisers. From Joy Division's gloom to Young Marble Giants' twee minimalism, here are the sounds of post-punk.
