If you've never heard any post-punk before now, then I'd get these:

Wire - Pink Flag
Television - Marquee Moon
Gang of Four - Entertainment
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures and Closer

Those 5 bands served as my introduction to this style of music. None of them sound particularly like any of the others, so you might like some and might dislike some. It's a very diverse and rewarding genre, though - so give them all a chance if you're interested! If you find do enjoy these bands, you'll find there are plenty other excellent, lesser-known post-punk bands as well.

Also, get the first Durutti Column album (the one I mentioned as my favourite) too!
