I see post punk as 80s. Punk, besides a few groups for me, was dead by the 80s.
There were all kinds of brilliant albums from the 70s. Might be the most creative and free period of rock and pop music...punk, ska, industrial, post punk, synth, etc....the latter 1970s was just unreal! And in the early to mid 70s you had great singer songwriter stuff (Drake, Martyn, Richard/Linda Thompson, etc.), Krautrock, Prog from all over the place including great stuff from South America, nd a million fascinating and sometimes bizarre prog offshoots...Henry Cow, Magma, Fred Frith, etc...and also great stuff from Fela Kuti and Jamaica. And for pop....Big Star. There was a lot of dreck imo also...what we know as Classic Rock today...jmho.
