I liked some Suede songs and i think "Screamadelica" by Primal Scream was a good album (but again: overhyped), oddly i'm a bigger fan of the "Britpop" movement from the 90's, they did take all the good ideas from Madchester and gave it a more mainstream appeal.
From all the Madchester bands i like James the most, oddly they became something more "U2-ish" and only the first albums are truly "Madchester".
