Suggestions for a fan of Brit-Pop?
Just wondering if anyone out there might have some suggestions for a fan of:
Pulp, Travis, Blur, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, Radiohead, Cast, The Bluetones, London Suede, Hurricane #1, and of course, Paul Weller, etc. Kind of looking for the same style of music, but not necessarily stuck in the 90s.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

wow, five posts in and nobody's mentioned the greatest living Brit alterna acts still pumping 'em out and filling stadiums?
PLACEBO
MUSE
Also, might want to check out a current favorite: Little Man Tate (much in the vein as a lot of the others mentioned but a hell of a lot more fun...)

Thanks for all the suggestions (keep em' coming!)
I didn't want to list every Brit-Pop band I could think of, so I just gave a few examples. Some of those listed (Stone Roses, The Verve, The La's, Charlatans, Embrace, etc.) are bands that I own CDs of, but most I'm not too familiar with. Looks like I have some investigating to do.
As I said, please keep em coming and thanks again!

I'll throw in another for:
Embrace (http://www.myspace.com/embracemusic)
Mika (Not sure if it's Brit-Pop or not; http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace)
Travis (http://www.travisonline.com/)
I've also enjoyed a few songs by Brtish SeaPower, but I don't know if I like them enough to pick up an album. I know there are others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
