I get where you're coming from and it's kind of why I haven't answered this thread yet--I wouldnt know where to begin. All encompassing isn't always the same as best or else the answer to this would be a lot easier. I imagine it would be a modern band, since they've had all the time for those influences to come together and be extrapolated on. On top of the fact that post punk reaches into so many directions, it's very likely that the all encompassing post punk album could be diluted by trying to fit them all in.
