I'd agree with all your artist summaries (except for Robert Wyatt and The Streets ;-) ) You're quite right about Ty Upwards though, shit-brit-hop at its finest. I remember seeing an article on BBC music that described him as a "veteran MC" - his debut album came out in 2001. Back to the old skool! Illustrates that this stuff has the shelf life of an elderly mayfly. Personally, I'd pick Belle and Sebastian as the least worst option, and believe me there's not a lot of scenarios where I would make that choice!
