I honestly don't know much of the genre and have only heard a little more than half of the list, but I just wanted to float Citizen Zombie if you were looking for something good, as you had requested.

Not denying it's a great post-punk album, but I always saw the revival movement as a genre of it's own: it's definitely more streamlined (radio-oriented) and more garage/dance influenced. That's what seperates a band like Protomartyr and Interpol.
I think of it as Post-Proto-Garage-Post-Punk.
