It is as far as I'm concerned. Three bands I have a lot of time for (bought everything from all three at least into the middle 1980s), although I kind of think of the Undertones as a great pop group and the Damned as a garage psych band rather than punks. All three of them have several great singles, wrote some fine tunes (yes, even the Damned after Brian left) and generally added to the gaiety of nations.
I can't really choose between them, but in the end I went for the Undertones, not because their best stuff was better, but because the general standard was so high.
