> which explains why Robert Fripp played guitar with The Damned while King Crimson was on hiatus

"The Stranglers and Friends" is an excellent live album of punks and prog figures (including Fripp) playing with the Stranglers while Hugh Cornwell was in jail. Though the Stranglers themselves were quite sophisticated, with Dave Greenfield (RIP) playing keyboards and Jet Black (also RIP) having been a jazz drummer beforehand.

Fripp's debut solo album Exposure, Daryl Hall's Sacred Songs and Peter Gabriel II constituted a sort of trilogy of...interesting rock.

Edit: Sandinista! by The Clash and the first four Simple Minds albums are also musically interesting "punk" albums.
