The Buzzcocks are excellent!
Somebody earlier mentioned Wire's "Pink Flag" -- I love that album. (But is that more post-punk?)
I love the Undertones too.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ooh, and X-Ray Spexs.
Pink Flag is 1977, baby. That's ground zero.
And it's chockful of juicy songs. Everyone should have it.
The first time I ever heard Wire was when my roommate played Pink Flag. I was so impressed by almost every song that I assumed it must be a "best of" album.
And then the next one was also amazing but completely different.
I'm listening to Chairs Missing at this very moment.
I am listening to Pink Anderson. And besides his truly awsome musicianship, my music geeks, he is noteworthy because.....
Pink Floyd got half its name from him?
Tommyrot gets it in one.
