And it didn't even bring me down
I've owned Marquee Moon for a long time, and I do consider it a masterpiece, although I'm not a fan of Tom Verlaine's vocals. Midnight Oil's "Blue Sky Mine" is a terrific song imo (and naturally I know "Beds Are Burning" too), so that might be something to explore... and of course I'm fairly familiar with the Police (and the band too, hihi!), but somehow they/Sting leave me a bit cold; Synchronicity is a good album, though.You might like Gang of Four, Midnight Oil, XTC, Television (This antedates post-punk, but it has a similar sound to this short list I'm making right now.), The Teardrop Explodes, The Police, etc. In my opinion, there's a lot of upbeat, bouncy post-punk in these lists as well.
