I've never really considered Unknown Pleasures as a punk album. If I did, though, it would definitely be my all-time favorite of them all.

Gun Club - Fire of Love (for managing to combine Robert Johnson with punk)

Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist (mostly for 'Jock-o-Rama', and for Penis Landscape which Super Furry Animals copped on Love Kraft)

You're free to disagree on the punkness of this:

This album made me a music freak.

Some other favorites:

I do love some Ramones now and then, but I'm more a modern punk fan.

It's on PA!

The Stranglers are not punk; they just rode on the bus. But show me any punk band that has true polyphony, like the Stranglers have in many songs. The terms "polyphony" and "punk" are mutually exclusive, because polyphony is a highly complex musical form while punk is by definition simple.

Well, the topic is not prog-related, so avoid all the jazz-punk and pronk, and let's focus on the raw punk :

Yes. Thanks Lucas for getting the thread back on track.

Juju / Drums and Wires/ Are we not Men? / Metal Box / London Calling etc not really punk. (debateable though)

I would argue that No More Heroes, is though. I don't think punk means exclusively 3 chords
