If we're looking at britpop and loosely using what wikipedia lists as acts with "an established connection" (love it )

I'll never understand it.  For a country that can spawn such cool alternative rock, you English can't do fuck all with radio-friendly pop.

I think we all can think of plenty of British pop acts that have gotten radio play here.

Excuse me:  good radio-friendly pop.  Their shit over the last 25 years consistently sucks shit, and polluted our air waves.  Oasis?  Spice Girls?  This Pulp shit?

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go flush out my frontal lobe with some Eurythmics.

Britpop isn't pop.
And it has explosive diarrhea all over American music.
Britain sucks in a lot of ways, but alternative music is one area where we truly are the best.

Placebo are awesome. But like Ash I'd just group them as a British rock band around at the same time.

Oh I wouldn't really count them as Britpop either. Just thought it was funny that whole "established connection" bit.

Don't mess with a missionary man.

To your earlier statement - Adele, Amy Winehouse, Florence & The Machine.

[CountDeMoney]

Two out of three aren't bad.  But I don't consider them BritPop.

[Queequeg]

You punch above your weight, that doesn't make you better than America.  We have Nirvana, Pixies, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Talking Heads and the God-King of all Alternative and Indie Rock, The Velvet Underground.

You widened the scope to pop music from Britain.

If we want to get even more poppier - Calvin Harris had a decent amount of airplay with his recent work and there's Estelle though perhaps you would ghettoize her into hip-hop (aka black pop).

and there's Estelle though perhaps you would ghettoize her into hip-hop (aka black pop).

Why would I categorize anybody who duets with Sean Paul and Kanye West as "black pop"?  Don't be silly.
