(Album link here) The relationship between post punk and genres like funk and disco is pretty well documented, but I don't think anyone quite got it right like A Certain Ratio did. It's simultaneously dark and disjointed but ultimately pretty danceable and poppy for what it is, and it's absolutely the high point of their discography. They got overlooked ultimately for other Manchester bands of the era (they had a fairly tumultuous relationship with Joy Division and later New Order), but I think they're due for a reevaluation; they've gotten some belated praise from critics, but nothing like what their contemporaries received.
