"I Just Wanna Have Something To Do" - The Ramones
When this album was first released, I took it out from the library and was appalled. My teenage prog-rock and electronica brain couldn't process it.
Two years later I had a buzz cut, safety pin fashion accessories, and an entirely different outlook on music. These guys cleared out my earwax and opened up a whole lot of options for me.

And the American "The Beat" were later often tagged "The Paul Collins Beat". Paul Collins being the songwriter/singer/Guitarist who was the drummer in the seminal band The Nerves, which also featured Peter Case who formed The Plimsouls (the bar band in the Valley Girl film) & Jack Lee who wrote the "Hanging On The Telephone" (a Nerves song later covered by Blondie of course) & "Come Back & Stay" (off Jack Lee's solo album) which was a huge hit for Paul Young. That first Beat album is classic power pop. Love the English Beat too!

Thx Dwasifar! This can only be followed by - The Police - can’t stand losing you ( I know it was used before in the thread - sorry-). This song reminds my of the struggle I had with a former girlfriend in 1979…..

I apparently have to post this song at 1- to 2-year intervals in this thread. And I believe that his wife on acoustic rhythm guitar.
