That seems pretty unfairly reductive to me. McLaren was obviously hugely influential via the Pistols, but there was a lot more to the English punk scene than just one band that was together for less than three years.

LOVE real Hawaiian grindz, but Spam isn't my favorite.

I don't want to get into the tedious genre debates, but I personally think of Television as "proto-punk".
In terms of the timelines, first wave English punk is basically 1976-1980 in my mind. Punk was basically over in England when the 80s got going.
When it comes to American punk rock, I think of the first wave as extending out to around the mid-80s. I will readily admit to not being a big Fugazi guy, so I wasn't aware they had formed that late.
This is all quite subjective and IMO only.

I'd probably sub Portuguese sausage for the Spam if I were cooking it, but it looks amazing.

In American "first wave" punk: Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, and Fugazi all have an argument, IMO.
If we include English punk, probably lots.

That debut Third Eye Blind album is incredible. There are so many just excellent, infectious, and perfectly-crafted "alterna-pop" songs on that album.
In terms of your question, I can think of two 80s synth-pop/New Wave acts that are thought of as one hit wonders that actually have a bunch of great songs: Talk Talk (It's My Life) and A Flock of Seagulls (I Ran - So Far Away).

Sandinista! could be an INCREDIBLE single album or even a very good double album.
I enjoy that it is a sprawling mess as it is--it truly contains multitudes--but if the goal is to make it tight and untouchable, a fair bit of editing is required.

AC/DC peaked with their first song on their first album, IMO.
