Great list, continue please.
 
Pink Flag by Wire.
Colossal Youth by Young Marble Giants. No collection of post-punk should be without it.
 
Crazy 8s

Okay here's obscure: The Crazy 8s, from Oregon in the 1980s. One of the top 10 underground bands - according to Rolling Stone. Saw them many times and they are definitely a great live show. Still have my Law and Order cassette.
