Yeah exactly. Or to name some other ones that can be very melodic and /or jangly: the Raincoats, Girls at our Best, the Monochrome Set, the Wedding Present, you could even say the Smiths are post punk.

Never heard of those bands, apart from The Smiths of course. I'll give them a try :)

I liked Entertainment and Solid Gold so much that I kind of never got past those two albums. Great band, I'm hoping to find some more good tunes in their later work, but after Solid Gold they kind of went in a direction that didn't appeal to me all that much.
