Thanks. Does that mean I can take a break from polling for the rest of the month? Tongue

Man, that's 26 days - I couldn't really imagine that. Big smile

And besides which, I don't know who else would step in to take up the polling mantle if I took the rest of the month off. Tongue

By the way, it's a rare member who might get a topic like this done about them and such favourable response in the votes (one commonly gets a few negative nancies no matter what the topic even if they have no opinion in my experience).  That's a lot of appreciation.  Thumbs Up 
Thanks  Greg! I've already done several of those kind of polls you suggested with favourite artists and albums lifted from my blogs, including Symphonic Prog Britannia, Neo Prog Britannia and coming up next year, Prog Folk Britannia. Thumbs Up

I would have wanted to include Wire, amongst others. 154 being one of my favourite albums.

By the way, I know David Byrne was born in Scotland and then moved to the US (as a child of 8 or 9) -- I always thought of Talking Heads as a US band, founded in New York.
That's good to know. I can replace Talking Heads with Comsat Angels who Octopus II suggested to me earlier. Thumbs Up

I'm not familiar with the music of Wire at all though. Confused


I think Wire's first three albums are terrific:

Pink Flag (1977)
Chairs Missing (1978)
154 (1979)

I might do one based on albums, and not nationality -- there are some crazy cats from Japan (nekophilia alert) and great stuff from the US like Pere Ubu and Television, and Vanacouver where I come from was a big punk town.  I might cover various post-punky and pronky ones.  Not mentioned by you, from the UK I like This Heat, Camberwell Now, Cardiacs, Public Image Ltd, Wire as I said....

Great Suggestion! Comsat Angels are now on the list too, which makes 32 Post Punk bands in total, which I have to somehow Squeeze down to 25 poll options. Smile

Okay, here's my initial list of British Post Punk bands, which I have to somehow narrow down to 25 poll options. I know it's a bit Irish of me to have included U2 in a poll of British bands, but they're just too good to leave out. Smile

Durutti Column
Echo & the Bunnymen
The Fall
Gang of Four
The Jam
Jesus & Mary Chain
