Up the punks

I say go for early Swans and Lydia Lunch.

Ooh, crikey! I forgot Rytmihäiriö. Insane thrash with homicidal lyrics = teh excellent.

The Hammered:
I've got the Cop/Young God/Greed/Holy Money compilation, though not Filth. I've heard a little about Lydia Lunch too, but not her actual music (not counting her guest vocals on Death Valley '69). Should I mainly go for Teenage Jesus for no-wave? Mars and DNA sound interesting to me too.

For no-wave, yes. But for pure excellence, go for her solos (think early Swans/early Nick Cave/angry Tom Waits).
Brian Majestic:
I suppose I should mention Blatz as the epitome of punk in some ways. Decent backing band, then three vocalists - a guy who never seemed to wear clothing when on stage, and two hard as nails chicks. Musically they're okay at best, but that doesn't matter; there's just something very 'pure' punk about them...all of their recorded material sounds like it was done in one take with a case of beer - laughing, off-tune singing, complete fun. Hell, on a couple of their songs the music equipment cuts out.
I'd argue "Fuk Shit Up" or "Berkley is My Baby (and i wanna kill it)" should be on any starter punk comp.
