Yes!  Someone finally mentions Prefab Sprout!

I'd also suggest the Sprouts' Protest Songs, which was only released in 
the UK on Kitchenware records.  It's not as good as the previously mentioned
records but has several great pop songs, one of which is 
Life of Surprises.  Also, the US release of Steve McQueen was re-titled 
Two Wheels Good (I have no idea why?), and it's still one of my all time
favourites (it's up there with the Smiths' The Queen is Dead, MBV's Loveless,

and the Tindersticks first album).  The best song on this 
record has to be Bonny, which is a haunting "killing me softly" ode to 
a dead lover.  This song continues to bring chills up my spine whenever 
I hear it.  So there, go out and buy Prefab Sprout!
