I suppose you could call the Television Personalities twee pop (who are excellent as well in case anyone doesn't know).

I always thought of Television Personalities as proto-twee.

Orange Juice
The Vaselines
Beat Happening
Josef K
Belle and Sebastian
The Pastels
Rocketship
The Field Mice
Shop Assistants
Black Tambourine
Camera Obscura
Talulah Gosh
Heavenly
Tiger Trap
The Softies
The Orchids

Pretty definitive list, havent heard Rocketship or Tiger Trap but the rest all range from pretty good to excellent.

And i wouldnt call Television Personalities twee, a lot of their stuff for me is too dark for that, though i dont own their entire dicrography granted.
