I listen to many of these myself pretty regularly. Brit-pop has so much energy and life, even when it's whiny (e.g. the Smiths, whom I never get tired of). Do you have any recommendations for where to start with St. Etienne? I heard one song I really like on a sampler, but haven't bought a CD yet.

You should try with Good Humor or So Though!
