Voted for Ira Kaplan. I like his guitar playing technique and how it blends in all Yo La Tengo compositions.

Ira was one of the most impressive guitarists I've ever seen live so I'll go with him here. Very different styles going against each other here so I'm going with the one I have more sentiment towards, either is great though.

I've enjoyed watching Ira freak out on whatever instrument is in front of him at the time for far too long not to vote for him here. Yo La Tengo is simply one of the most lovable indie rock bands out there.

I voted Blixa, but Ira is surely a hell of a lot of fun to watch. I took these shots years ago.

I am almost certain that's a picture of David Byrne where one of Blixa Bargeld should be. Not that it matters, of course. Anyway, probably gonna vote Blixa, but will leave it a day or two before I make up my mind.

That's weird, no idea how that happened. Fixed it.

I was thinking the same thing. Blixa is super goth.

Love Yo La Tengo, but gonna give my vote to Blixa. He's extremely influential and part of one of the greatest backing bands ever.
