Alternative, Post-Punk and Rock music recommendations please!?

Question

+++Before you answer my question, please make sure that you will bother looking through the lists of artists below and your answer will follow my specifications.+++

Hey there. I'm really into alternative, post-punk and rock music and I would like some help finding some different bands and artists to listen to.

I'd prefer old than new (maybe around 70's-late 80's), that are NOT on the list and it would be GREATLY appreciated if you kindly leave some recommended songs along with the name of the artist.

You're probably thinking "Oh my god, another question asking for a music recommendation, just search for some music on a song searching engine yourself!" But I want to know your opinions so I can expand my music library with music I can really relate to and enjoy.

I know that my list is ridiculously long, but I REALLY hate those really shitty overrated bands that people recommend in almost every Yahoo Answers music recommendation question so I thought I should list some of them down so you can avoid listing them.

You can recommend less popular songs that you feel are really good by artists that are on the 'They're okay' and 'Have only listened to a few songs' section of the list as well!

Again, please, no punk, metal or techno or any other genre for the time being (you can see what sort of bands and artists I DO NOT WANT recommended at the bottom of this post).
