I'll throw out a few others in the newer, non-obvious, or Radcliffe-will-disagree vein:

Self - Dead Man
Shins - Turn on Me


Shit yeah, James Mercer knows how to write pop music, and Self is non-stop pop goodness, pretty much. And his best stuff (for me) has come from the later b-sides stuff, which I got from DMB04 I think.

Witness:
Mermaid - crunchy guitars, vibraphones, harmony, wah pedal...
http://www.sendspace.com/file/qs946b

While I'm uploading stuff, here's Neil Finn - She Will Have Her Way. Just in case anyone anywhere doesn't have it. And you all do. But just in case. Unfuckwithable.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/rqeu6a

And finally, winner of the "why the sweet fuck is this so short?!" award, Memories Of Jacqueline by The Olivia Tremor Control. This should be twice as long, minimum, and shouldn't end in Late Beatles-esq wankery, but up to 1:07 it's pure gold.

"You've Really Got a Hold On Me" - Smokey Robinson
"My Girl" - The Temptations
