''Y'' would receive a mixed initial reception, however, it would garner acclaim over time and would later be considered a foundational record for the [[PostPunk post-punk]] genre and an influence upon later artists such as Music/NineInchNails, Music/MassiveAttack and Music/StVincent.

''Y'' is the debut album by British post-punk band Music/ThePopGroup released in 1979 by Radar Records.
Initially formed in 1977 by lead singer Mark Stewart looking to form a funk band. They were inspired by the energy of punk rock, but disillusioned by its musical simplicity and heavily incorporated black music styles such as free jazz and dub reggae, as well as the avant-garde utilizing discordant rhythms and ritual tribal drumming. They would also enlist dub prodcer Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell, his contributions furthering the dub influence and trapping the incendiary nature of their live performances.
''Y'' would receive a mixed initial reception, however, it would garner acclaim over time and would later be considered a foundational record for the [[PostPunk post-punk]] genre and an influence upon later artists such as Music/NineInchNails, Music/MassiveAttack and Music/StVincent.

!! Tropes Disobey Me
* AvantGardeMusic
* DancePunk: The album would be a formative release for the genre.
* [[{{Reggae}} Dub]]: The album retains a significant amount of influence from the genre, with the producer, Dennis Bovell, being a noted dub producer in his own right.
* EpicRocking: "We Are Time" and "Don't Sell Your Dreams" are 6-and-1/2 minutes, and live releases of the former are almost a minute longer.
* GenreMashup: The album would blend free jazz, avant-garde music, funk, noise rock and punk rock with dub reggae production techniques and tribal drumming.
* GratuitousPanning: ''All over the damn record''. The most gratuitous being "Blood Money", which finds various aspects of the track being spliced between the channels.
* HarshVocals: So much so that various songs on the record can go into CarefulWithThatAxe territory. The only exception is "Savage Sea".
* {{Jazz}}: Free jazz, in particular, would be a major influence on the band and actively emulated on the record.
* OneWordTitle: "Snowgirl"
* PostPunk: This album would be one of its definitive records.
* RecordProducer: Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell
* SillyLoveSongs: According to Mark Stewart, "She is Beyond Good and Evil" is this. As he described as "being about unconditional love as a revolutionary force -- where idealism and energy mix poetic, existential, and political yearnings with the romantic idea of passing through nihilism and emerging on the other side with something positive, something beyond."
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Savage Sea", a quiet, calm piano piece, which sits in contrast with the rest of the record.
