I ended up going with Siouxsie & The Banshees over Cocteau Twins. I also like Echo and the Bunnymen and The Police here.

By the way, this is the first entry for Wire in this series of polls, having crept in under the wire. They're a late replacement for The Smiths who only recorded four studio albums, and heaven knows Morrissey is miserable now after The Smiths dropped out without winning any of the previous four Post-Punk polls. Cry

That Wire album sounds a lot like New Order. 'The King and Queen of Um' is a great track.

Some great albums in these Post-punk polls, my favourite genre of music after prog of course. Very difficult to make a choice out of your lists.

Is your Disco blog now redundant Paul?  I love a bit of disco music! Smile

I'm probably going to be voting for U2 in most of these Post-Punk polls (including this one), apart from when their Pop album comes along, obviously. Smile  

To be honest, I wasn't a fan of Wire's punkish early albums, but I'm all wired for sound with their fifth album, which sounds surprisingly good. Surprising to me, anyway. Tongue

My Boogie Wondeland Disco blog is only temporarily redundant, having been busy with one or two other blogs, but summer's on its way, so I think it's time for some Endless Summer. Wink

Night Time is the right time for Killing Joke's best album so far, and that's no joke. Smile

1. U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
2. Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)
3. The Police - Synchronicity 

Yes, I confess to having had a Police record in the distant past, and it was called Synchronicity, but these two lovely girls make a far more arresting sight than Mr. Sting. Smile

U2 just ahead of The Police. I like being upright and bipedal.

This Comsat Angels album is their weakest, for which reason Killing Joke gets my vote.

I just remembered that Toyah was supposed to be in this poll (as a replacement for The Smiths), but I'll now make The Vow to include her in the sixth Post-Punk poll. Anyway, until then, here's Toyah with a song from her fifth album and sounding like a punk version of Kate Bush. Smile
