For frail_as_smoke, suggestions for new music to try out, much of which is off the beaten path. These are in no particular order.

For The Cult, I would choose Sonic Temple. It is a staple in any collection. For Killing Joke, either one of the self-titled, and KJ are technically punk.

VAST and Transmission were great albums.

Might I be so bold as to add Simple Minds: Graffiti Soul to the list. Best album they've done in years.

I considered Sonic Temple because it contains their biggest hits or Electric because it had the most hits, but couldn't decide. So I went with the hits collection. I ran into the same problem with Killing Joke's self-titleds, hence I also went with a hits collection there too.

About Killing Joke being punk, that's true they do have punk in their sound. Though I always felt post-punk was better for them because they followed punk rock historically and their sound was so much more than the stripped-down nature of punk.

I associate punk with the attitude more than the music. Killing Joke wants to sonically destroy your spine and lyrically wreck every government.

Oh, in terms of attitude, they're definitely punk, agreed.
