Sleeper (cos they never really did a cack song and they are pretty brill)
The Bluetones (damn, it's a toughie - if we're doing it be albums then Science and Nature by The Bluetones is the best album no one has ever heard. Has anyone on ILX picked this gem up? It's utterly, utterly gorgeous. BUT - it'll annoy more ILXors if Sleeper are first so...)
Stereophonics (FUCK ME that last single was MEGA FAB wasn't it? The Stereos produce a few more singles of this quality and I'm going to have to start liking them)
Coldplay (Worst guitar band ever. Even worse than Van Halen. Or U2)

Coldplay is easily the winner here (and don't fit into the bunch because 1. they are really too late to be Britpop and 2. they are good an among the very best of their genre). Otherwise, I'd rank them as follows:
1. Coldplay2. Bluetones3. Sleeper4. Stereophonics

I do (love melodic guitar-oriented indie pop), but I don't (love COldplay) Why you'd bother with tripe like Coldplay when your Scandinavian brethren are doing much the same thing but much better, I'll never know.

besides, as others have pointed out, lots of coldplay-hatas like melodic pop-rock.
