^ The Sky's Gone Out is great.  I have known the earlier than that Bauhaus material since the late 80s.  I got into Bauhaus actually due to the movie, The Hunger which featured Bela Lugosi's Dead (the earlier longer version of that still being one of my very favurite songs), but only overe the poast year heard The Sky's Gone Out... A Different and great album.

I hope you found something you did like in this multiple choice poll.  Love to hear about what people like on the list, don't like, and other options.  Violent Femmes would have been on here had I remembered and taken more time thinking up this poll (although I don't know what I would have left off).  I even have listened to Hallowed Ground in full in the past month. Much as I like The Police and have listened to those albums many times in 1990 (due to my roommate when living at Whistler), to me they don't feel right for the list (or youtube playlist).  Still I'm happy with with the acts I listed.  I might have added Cardiacs, who probably know I love, but it didn't quite fit the mood I felt as well as others.

Thanks to all for their comments.  This non-regional specific one is hopefully something of a  primer before Paul puts together a UK punk series.

This is much harder than the second list as the top 3 are not quite up there (I'd have chosen other albums from some of my favourite bands here, Swans, Killing Joke, Cure) but then there are many more really good ones.

Let's say This Heat, Tuxedomoon, Squid.

From my selection it perhaps looks more like they share a certain "goth-rockiness". If in red if I have a slight preference for one of the albums. As I have a hard time selecting one favorite over another, I would ideally want all of the five first to be among my selected three:)

Swans: Children of God (1987) or The Great Annihilator (1995)
Siouxsie and The Banshees: Juju (1981) or Tinderbox (1986)
black midi: Schlagenheim (2019) or Hellfire (2022)
The Cure: Pornography (1982) or Disintegration (1989)
Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures (1979) or Closer (1980)
-
The Sisters of Mercy: First and Last and Always (1985) or Floodland (1987)
This Heat: This Heat (1979) or Deceit (1981)
Bauhaus: In the Flat Field (1980) or The Sky's Gone Out (1982)
The Chameleons: Script of the Bridge (1983) or Strange Times (1986)

Btw: Their swan song (until their "comeback" Go Away White) Burning From The Inside might be my actual Bauhaus pick. Or, at least I am just as fond of it as the "classics" in the poll.

Bauhaus is great throughout for me.  

By the way, as might be expected, I prefer various albums of these bands to the ones listed but find these punkier than various others.  I prefer black midi's Cavalcade to Schlagenheim but Schlag seems particularly post-punk.  With Swans, I am big on the Children to God to now time, but some albums seem more post-punk than others. Cocteau Twins first two are the obviously punky ones from them -- had I gone with album faves, I would have gone with Treasure and Heaven or Las Vegas.

I will go with as three listed albums from three bands (which all got mentions from Saper):

Joy Division's Closer
Swans' Children of God
Siouxsie and The Banshees' Tinderbox
Duos for fave acts

I may prefer BM slightly more than Squid, but Squid seems to bridge the prog/punk divide in a way that is enjoyable equally between myself and my punk-oriented friends; I never hear 'why is this so long?' when playing Squid.

I'd also recommend the short-lived STALIN VS BAND that I found recently and have enjoyed, though they have just two short albums with 'I have too much blood' at 33m and 'Chaotic Incendiary Prog-Punk Soundtracks (For The 21st Century)' at just 13m with 8 short tracks.


Thanks, I'm listening to Stalin vs Band right now and liking it a lot!  Thanks.

----------------------------

By the way, I started on another list, since one poll often leads to another, where I wanted to cover other albums of bands mention in this poll and in part two (CLICK)   (plus Oingo Boing since it was mentioned)

Bauhaus: Mask (1981) / Burning From the Inside (1983)
black midi: Boiler Room London (live, 2019) / Cavalcade (2021)
Cardiacs: Songs for Ships and Irons (1991) / Sing to God (1996)
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds: Tender Prey (1988) / Murder Ballads (1996)
Cocteau Twins:  Treausure (1984) / Heaven or Leaving Las Vegas (1990)
The Cure: Faith (1981) / The Head on the Door (1985)
Echo & The Bunnymen: Crocodiles (1980) / Heaven Up Here (1981)
Oingo Boingo: Only a Lad (1981) / Nothing to Fear (1982)
Siouxsie and The Banshees: Kaleidoscope (1980) / A Kiss in the Dreamhouse (1982)
Swans: To Be Kind (2014) / The Glowing Man (2016) (hardest for me to choose as I love so many of its albums)
Tuxedomoon: Half-Mute (1980) / The Ghost Sonata (1991)

Just what I have so far.... Once done, Paul is going to have some more competition in the poll-making category (just kidding).  I have made so many polls in my time here (and not all have been appreciated).

I’m going with Joy Division, Public Image Ltd, and Pere Ubu, though there were many greats on this list. Pere Ubu is a delightfully strange band. I believe their roots were in a band called Rocket From The Tombs. Part of that band became Pere Ubu, and part became the Dead Boys. Tim Wright, who was the bassist early on would also become a member of the No Wave band DNA.

Thanks for the info; I was unaware.  I have heard of DNA
