These are 25 albums that I think contain a punky-prog aesthetic to a greater or lesser degree.  Please vote for one of them and mention it in a post, and then feel free to mention any others.  There are lots t I like that I did not list that i think could be suitable.  In fact, there's a lot of post-punk that I would relate to progressive rock.

Another of Greg's polls where I don't know the majority of bands, but struggle to get excited about the ones I have heard... Punky Prog is just not for me, I'm afraid.. any time a band did a 'punked up' number, it tended to turn out to be a mistake, unless you were Van der Graaf Generator, of course.

I've voted Twelfth Night as I did like some of their music and this was their best...

I really like that Cardiacs album. It’s almost like Post Punk cross pollinating with Prog. I’m a Punk guy with an interest in Prog, so I find it to be a great middle ground sort of album.

I love lots of punky,\ and punk-influenced music (including of the pronk, art rock and experimental rock varieties).  I think I'll play some Wire right now.

Voted Camberwell Now.

Make mine Exposure.  Also, Fripp's amazing dance band "The League of Gentlemen" would qualify nicely!

League of Gentleman is my favorite punky prog album, and Remain in Light is my favorite of the ones listed here.

The Ghost Trade is the best, and that means quite something as there are many great albums. I particularly mention Peter Hammill's Patience, an album that is rarely discussed, but is my favourite of his solo work.

I gave Thinking Plague a vote but This Heat is pretty groovy too.

A lot of albums I enjoy here (by This Heat, Kayo Dot, black midi, Art Bears, Beeheart...) so this would have been difficult for me if Children of God wasn't in the poll.

Btw: For Voivod I would personally have gone for Killing Technology in this context.

Reading "punky prog", my first thought was "Cardiacs" even before seeing the list.

Thanks for all of the posts, much appreciated.

Yes, it does have that same New Wave post-punk aesthetic as Talking Heads.  I probably should have thought of it, but then Talking Heads I only thought of just before I posted this and deleted another to make space.  I really like pre-Discipline King Crimson, but Discipline never really appealed to me.  Mind you, I'm not big on Talking Heads either beyond some songs -- particularly Psycho Killer.  Qu'est-ce que c'est, one might say?  Maybe I should run, run, run, run, run, run, run away.  Now David Byrne solo has some stuff I love, as does Adrian Belew.

I've mentioned it in three other topics of late already (I do that), but one I have been into of late is Daughters' You Won't Get What You Want from 2018.  This is more Noise/ Industrial/ Post-Punk Rock than Prog but I do tend to place such music under the progressive rock banner even if it's more some kind of alternative rock. But whatever, prog shmog.  Prog as a genre does not hold that much interest to me musically and I tend to favour music that could fall under  loose prog umbrealla, but I digress

Nothing screams Pronk more than Cardiacs, imo. At least as a style-thing, cause I can scream "Pronk!" pretty loud.

I like how it was put here in terms of the Cardiacs album I went with.

I ten to think of my town Vancouver as punk town.  I heard Cardiacs played on university radio decades ago, as well as things like Pere Ubu. 

Oh, I had wanted to include Tuxedomoon' got quite vicious with trying to limit to 25.  Be nice to do a seperate poll with them, The Residents, Renaldo and the Loaf, Snakefinger.... You know, some of the really good stuff (depending on tastes of course).
