Another one born too late for this era but absolutely love it. So much variety from Parliament funk to Gary Numan, Kraftwerk and stuff. I've recently discovered a whole world of post punk Japanese music from the late 70s early 80s that explains the undercurrent of references to Japan in a lot of the British pop at that time.

Most famous probably ymo - firecracker
