I couldn't agree more on the Copeland collaboration in Rumble Fish what an awesome song, i'm happy you reminded me I need to buy that soundtrack again for keepsakes.
You hit it on the head with MP also they really had complex musicianship for a new wave band.
I encourage everyone to at least give Joe Jackson a shot, he is really quite a skilled lyricist and hes a very accomplished pianist and I really consider him and Elvis Costello the best crooners of the new wave era.

The great thing about Squeeze was that they had an instantly recognizable sound, you knew it was them and nobody else. In Tilbrook-Difford they had one of the very best British writing partnerships since Lennon-McCartney.
