Two bands from the second wave of punk stand head and shoulders above all others and who gave hope that punk wasnt dead with the Pistols splitting and The Clash going stateside.

First is those perennial favourites led by Manuel Vaderer i.e. The UK Subs and the second was The Ruts. Both bands specialised in chuggy, beefed up punk sounds but at the same time, extremely melodic and catchy toons. Both had TOTP appearances. The Ruts however were more complex musically and lyrically.
