Gabriel is awesome, those first three self-titled albums are so delicious. And yeah, The Zombies would have been the second best band in history if they managed to put out some more stuff, so sweet. A higher awesomeness-per-song factor than any non-Beatle band. And check out Underwater Moonlight by the Soft Boys, I haven't pimped that one in a while.

what albums have you heard?
go for emperor tomato ketchup or transient random-noise bursts with announcements ("crest" from this album is great, listen to it!)

''Cybele's Reverie'' is my favorite Stereolab track, how could you not fall in love with it?

i used to listen to Faith No More a lot, and they're still one of my favorite bands... i think these guys are one of the best things that ever happened to rock.

i saw them live years ago and i was quite impressed

check out The Darkness... they are great rock music and actually funny while still being great musically
oasis is over-hated... give them a fair listen, you might like them
also, since they so notoriously steal so much of their music, its a good way to get a sampling of and a newer take on a lot of their influences, and they have some great/very important influences

Stereolab is great, but I can see how it'd be impossible to get into if you don't like the style at all. I really like Transient Random Noise Burts with Announcements .. very early and noisy without so much of the loungy retrofuturism.
However I HATE Belle and Sebastian with a passion. why the hell have they gotten so popular?! it seems like every indie fan I talk to these days is in love with them and wants to have Stuart Murdoch's babies. It's well constructed, yeah.. and nice enough.. but that voice! Sure they're poetic, I guess.. but jeez. what a bunch of pretentious whiny babies.
personal vendettas aside - I'd agree that you should check out : My Bloody Valentine Sonic Youth Cocteau Twins
if you have not already done so.

I like the Darkness. But that might be because I'm from the US and I'm not overexposed to them like everyone in the UK.
Anyway, as far as new-ish rock bands go, I wholeheartedly endorse the following:
The Detholz! - unknown electro-robot-rock from Chicago. They have one self-released cd called "Who Are The Detholz!?" and you can download some of their amazingly great tracks at their website.
Polysics - Japanese synthy quirky catchy pop-rock on Asian Man Recs. I've only heard their 2nd most recent album "Hey! Bob! My Friend!" and it's great, and I hear their new one is amazing as well. Their website is here.
And lots of other stuff that I can't think of. If you're interested in metal at all, I can help you out with that too :)
