   Part 2: 2fers from some acts: Some of my favourite albums with punk qualities

Here are 25 more punky acts, and I have two albums per band.  Please vote for up to three of these bands, and if you want to specify another album from a band off the list, that's fine.  Please post that and you can still vote for the band.  Oh, and if three is too few, of course you can choose more (just suggestion, as long as one only votes for an album once than I'm a happy punkamper).  In the last poll it was all studio albums and in this I did add some LPSS and live since I wanted to cover those acts as they mean something to me.  I have not heard all of these albums, some were suggested inb my former thread, some I am interested in hearing, some I like the band for other material.... Deep Turtle's There's a Vomitsprinkler in My Liverriver was named one of the greatest albums titles of all-time (by me).  An album I like.

This list with year:

Camberwell Now: The Ghost Trade (1986) / Dejaunost v študentskem (Live, 1987)

Going to a lake today and playlist in progress, just covering some of my favourite tracks that I have mentioned in other topics (same old, same old) for now.

Here is the list for part one to see what had already been covered ( 2fers from punky bands part one (CLICK)

Black Country, New Road: For the First Time (2021) or Ants From Up There (2022)

Echo & The Bunnymen: Porcupine (1983) or Ocean Rain (1984)

The Chameleons: Script of the Bridge (1983) or Strange Times (1986)

Swans: Children of God (1987) or The Great Annihilator (1995)
Television: Marquee Moon (1977) or Adventure (1978)
This Heat: This Heat (1979) or Deceit (1981)
Tuxedomoon: Desire (1981) or Holy Wars (1985)
Wire: Chairs Missing (1978) or 154 (1979)

And that playlist with one track per album: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4K7JN81JpQchOBP4VBqXJ-t

I hope most everybody here can find at least one album or band in the lists to like.  If not, be interested to know.  As I often say, I'm interested in both what people like and what they don't like.  There is some animosity towards anything at all punk that I have witnessed at PA (some blame it for killing Prog and some Prog incorporated punk qualities).

By the way, I would have like to add The Residents as punky in its way, but opted to go with RYM designations mostly.

	Great list! Post-punk is definitely my thing. I love most of these artists and only haven't heard a couple of them. I'll take the proggy route and go Cardiacs only because they were a league above everyone else.

	^ I should have gone with Radio Ethiopia over Easter, mistake (those two and Horses would be fine trio), so I am glad to change it.

	Exercise in probability: How likely is it, having three votes, that these go to the first three in a list of 25? (That's not so difficult after all...)

	Out of these options, I voted for Devo. However, if Oingo Boingo were included for Only a Lad and Nothing to Fear, I would have voted for them instead

	Violent Femmes Talking Heads (but I would've chosen Speaking In Tongues rather than Fear Of Music) Patti Smith (indeed RE is her best)

	Camberwell Now, Talking Heads, and Cardiacs. It's a cubic kettle with elongated lungs that can eat hammer steam and disco ecologies.

	Thanks all. I'll give two acts albums a vote that have none yet: Daughters' You Won't Get What You Want which I have been very into lately, Dog Faced Hermans' Hum of Life (an album I got into this past year), and I'll go with one that has vote and I have known for longer: Camberwell Now's The Ghost Trade. Love Cardiacs, almost went with Sing to God as a choice. Were I to go with one of those Cardiacs listed, just not sure which one (adore both).
