Despite my love for the Flaming Lips, I'm going Ribot here. Another great nom, mecca.

If I wanted to listen to an album or two that best showcased Ribot's playing, what would you recommend? At the moment, I'm mainly just familiar with his work with Waits.

my love for Ribot comes mostly from his work with Waits, but I'd say his contributions to Lounge Lizards and John Zorn's work is the most significant I've heard

I was at work for a solid 15 hours today, and I was wracked by a nagging question the entire time...

"Marc Ribot or Steven Drozd?"

Not even joking, this matchup caused endless anxiety today (though was a lovely distraction from the work).

In the end, I'm giving it to Steven Drozd.

As much as I love Drozd and as cool of sounds as he's been able to get from guitars, I've always seen him more as a super talented multi-instrumentalist than a singularly transcendent guitarist. I may vote for him over some people I feel more apathetic about, but the guitar work on the Lounge Lizards clip is what inspired me to get into them (which funny enough I just learned was Ribot) and all his work with Waits and dozens of others is pretty worth a vote.
