>> 2nd. 5 good punk albums? ummm...The Pop Group, Public Image - Metal
>> Box, Joy Division, Associates, Raincoats, Slits, Television, Young
>> Marble Giants, Cabaret Voltaire, the Fall, Wire ....A sight more
>> interesting than Yes, Genesis and all that other hippie prog crap.

>ahh. okay. i see the disagreement. you didn't mean punk bands, but
>punk-era bands. phrased that way - yeah, definitely more than five.

>hey - does king crimson count as prog rock? i hope not. :P

with the exception of cab voltaire and the young marble giants, (and PIL,
sorta) those are/were all pretty much 100% pure punk bands... especially
television, the fall, wire, and the pop group...  and they are all pretty
much excellent (though i must admit I've never been a huge television
fan).
