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....

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

If it wasn't for Pauls Polls I probably wouldn't bother posting on this forum.

Paul keeps the traffic flowing on the forum, puts lots of work into his polls and deserves a massive round of applause.Clap

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

There was hardly anyone here today, so I guess my Sunday poll will have to wait till next Sunday now. Smile

There's only two other PA members online right now at 21:38 BST. Confused

Anyway, I'll have another poll coming up tomorrow. Thumbs Up

Why has all of this computer gobbledegook started appearing in my posts? I can't post any more polls until it's gone, although for some here that might be a good thing. Tongue(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8b396002cba579c3',t:'MTcyMzcyNjkwNC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">
