What are some other good bands/artists like Public Image Ltd? Early post-punk I guess.

Edit: Oh and the more nihilistic the better. And I already love Joy Division, forgot to mention that.

If you want nihilism, I don't think there's a bigger concentration of dirges than Sleep No More by The Comsat Angels. Later works are for fans only, and typical attempts to become radio/tv friendly.

Second the Pere Ubu suggestion--try Ray Gun Suitcase, which splits the difference accessibility and noise. Accessible noise, I guess. Give it time.

If you do end up liking G4's barbed wire guitar sound, I recall this being borrowed to good effect on The Slab by Hunters and Collectors. A bit less serious, though. Shame no one's returned the favor and stolen that bass line.

Happy hunting. And collecting.

The Bonzo Dog Band...They're weird, all over the place...
I was watching Magical Mystery Tour a few months ago, which has oddly become more watchable over time, and these guys show up in one scene. I remembered them from the credits on Elton John's Honky Chateau. However, I was not prepared for them to sing a song called Death Cab For Cutie..
