Smiths vs. Halo Benders, transatlantic battle of the indie guitar gods. I've little use for the Halo Benders but wow Doug Martch's guitar tone on "VRATF" is so nice.

the "Virginia" from Built to Spill's Live is one of the greatest things I've ever heard, so it gets the nod

"Reel Around The Fountain". My favourite Smiths-track (the album version I mean, not the Peel session without the brilliantly played piano part).

Halo Benders. No contest.

The scales... THE SCALES! Matos is correct -- his writeup on his mixtape page sums it up beautifully.
