I gave up on punk completely around the time I first heard the Birthday Party.

I was listening to John Peel around this time (late '70's) but I don't remember him playing a lot of industrial stuff. But then again, it was never my kind of thing, so if he did play it I wouldn't have taken much notice.
He certainly played bands like Einsturzende Neubauten, Test Dept., Die Haut etc. a few years later. By that time I too had moved on from punk and loved it.
