Check out... Once Upon a Time (singles) and Ju Ju.
If you like them, then pick up the first three... The Scream, Join Hands and Kaleidoscope.

Key phrase bolded. I'm talking about 1991. "Kiss Them For Me" sampled Schooly D., for Jah's sake. Not much classic post-punk about that.

They became synonymous with eighties goth, hence largely overlooked by da punx, were also a top forty band,

This,and everything they did after is why I overlooked the earlier stuff for so long.

"tinderbox" was quite good and "superstition" was a good alternative album. the last tour for "seven year itch" was a great one where they finally revisited their older catalog and played their more darker material. it came at a great time when both BAUHAUS and THE SIISTERS both reunited (which was sorta a goth reunion trifecta.) I've seen the most recent tours dating back to "peepshow." I'd kill to see another gig like "seven year itch."

In fact, their later spacey-goth-pop stuff was with Robert Smith in the band.
Prior to this they featured John McGeogh of Magazine (amongst others).
So if anything, Banshees in the post-punk era fits in with the Cure, Sound, Magazine etc.

I know, it's not a fucking exam.

Yes it is. Red marks for you. Now try better next time.

Harsh marking. Mofo.

I love the Banshees. Juju and Hyaena are my favorites, but other than those, they were always better as a singles band to me. Once Upon a Time is such a great compilation. And of course they were a punk band early on. Sid Vicious was their original drummer and they were Bromley Contingent folks, FFS.
And I saw all of those reunion tours. The Bauhaus one was by far the best.
