Not that I'm British, but here's some love for them:
Rachel Stevens - "Some Girls" Lily Allen - "LDN" Róisín Murphy - "Sow Into You" and "Let Me Know" and pretty much everything else by her and Moloko Natasha Bedingfield - "Unwritten," "These Words," "I Wanna Have Your Babies," probably a dozen other songs Kylie - I'll throw in "Love at First Sight" (N.B. - yes, I know she's Australian) Sophie Ellis-Bextor - "Catch You"
It's been a really good decade for pop, actually. The trends of the 00s are much less irritating than the trends of the 90s, at least to my ears.
