A nice little write-up here with a couple of samples here, http://www.merryswankster.com/archives/2008/01/works_in_progre_4.html
and the Grauniad had a piece recently,

for me it's the other way round: I was a big fan at the time, but checking them again a couple of years ago, I couldn't figure out why I ever liked them.
They're more indie-pop (proto-indie-pop) than post-punk, i guess. But they were never twee, and they never sounded like they just wanted to reinvent Big Star or TThe Byrds - the guitars were all sccratchy and the melodies were ace, but not 60s or bubblegum. It was kinda like (deep breath for possible wildly inappropriate comparison) Swell Maps if they'd wanted to get to No56 in the charts.
edit: actually , sack that last bit - it's nonsense
I have decided that I actually hate early Adam and the Ants; i.e. Dirk Wears White Socks and before. Odd as I used to love it, but then I used to love Anti-Nowhere League (actually I do still love them a bit) and a really horrible girl called Susan.
