Agreed... it's a fantastic album.

NO
Belle and Sebastian PLEASE!
I do like a fair bit of C86 but I consider the sound not so annoying and a little more sparky and fun than most of the middle class student chinging away on acoustic guitars, living in a dreamworld type of sound that I hear in Twee Pop ( I feel a little sick rising up even saying it).

I'm not a huge fan of the genre either, but I found Weekend's La Variete (1982) to be rather enjoyable. Its sound draws from multiple influences... including jazz and world music.
EDIT: Oh, and I second Zero's recommendation for Field Mice. They're a great band.
