Very difficult but went with Ian because he needs the support. Also, he was in Don Caballero as well, so you should put that there.

Another really hard matchup, but have to give the edge to Thurston, even if he didn't end Sonic Youth after 1988 as he should have. don't jump on my shit, mecca and assorted others

Ian Williams is impeccable and one of the most influential guitarists of the alternative music scene. I think his obvious talent is known.

Ian Williams. Battles is one my favorite (relatively) new bands, and Don Cab is essential math rock. Pittsburgh is all about their Don Cab!

Two great, innovative guitarists here, but I have to hand it to Lee Ranaldo here. I mean Thurston! bandcamp .
. Lucky enough to see Battles live a few years back (before Tyondai Braxton left) and he is a sight to see. He very beautifully incorporates a showy playing style into the song to a point where it becomes essential.
