well I thought this was anything Punk related as James stated. Not really like a introduction/education to Punk.

ugh, please don't let this turn into a big post-punk exchange :(

The poll's still up so I assume you haven't decided what I'm to download yet.
Thats alright, I'll wait.

Since we're doing dreamy post punk stuff...I'll go to another spectrum. The Saddest Landscape.

The Saddest Landscape - Lift Your Burdens High For This Is Where We Cross
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/300x300/10573113.jpg

By far one of the most powerful and emotional albums I've ever heard, it's got wonderful balance between the chaotic and calm and just about the most emotional vocals I've ever heard from a band of this style.

As djchameleon said, they are still a punk related band and this thread has very loose rules. Anything goes. It's not like we're making a beginners mix or anything, we're just sharing music between fans.

Awesome choice, this album rules. Definitely a punk rock album in spirit.

No worries. I do hope you like them.

I guess I'm backing a loser right now but I vote:

Christ on a Crutch

The Durutti Column wins, I'll make a thread.

I have a suggestion:

The Cravats - The Colossal Tunes Out (1982)

I stumbled upon this English punk/post-punk band recently and it amazes me how something so good can be hidden for so long (at least from me). This is their second and the last(?) album and is a real gem. Guitar, bass, drums and saxophone create such a dirty, frenetic sound, sometimes incredibly catchy, sometimes with an unpredictable twist. This is post-punk played with a raw punk energy and attitude. I found it on only one blog and it's apparently a vinyl rip, but a very good one. So if/when this album is elected I'll pm all those who are interested.
