Default Please help me choose some 70's punk

Got some DJing to do next saturday.
Planning to do all 70's British punk, cos I've got a lot of it on vinyl and I've done New Wave and 80's pop to death.
Trouble is I can't decide.
Definitely no Clash or Pistols though; waaaay to obvious!
Could you all give us a hand please?

Yeah the Damned.
Just British punk though.
Not sure Amebix would go down too well!
Or Discharge!

You're thinking of Jilted John.
One of Graham Fellows characters.
Also John Shuttleworth.

Well I'd have a listen to -

Sham 69 - Hersham Boys
Sham 69 - If The Kids Are United
Sham 69 - Hurry Up Harry (might be 80's...can't remember!)
The Ruts - Babylon's Burning
Skids - Into The Valley
The Members - Sound Of The Suburbs
The Undertones - Teenage Kicks (recorded in '79 if I'm right...)
Generation X - Valley Of The Dolls
X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolesents
Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Reasons To Be Cheerful (Part 3)

Hope it helps...even if just a bit!
