That's weird because I think the first band I really loved was Showaddywaddy. I remember seeing them in their coloured drape coats and naively thinking they were the coolest thing in the world. The Darts too! I think after that (given the inevitable Madness obsession) it was The Police. But they were still a 'pop' band really, so it was still The Cramps that got me out of simply following the charts.
