Shields has 4 times as many votes as Marr? You're kidding ...

I know alel probably has a right and proper post, but let's just remember the variety this guy has:

Yeah, Shields is good. Marr's a god. This is like Reinhardt vs. Justin Vernon. This is like Berry vs. Lissack. This just shouldn't be close.

I love Johnny Marr but would never even think of taking him over Shields.

I might take the Smiths over MBV, but Shields is an absolute beast. No contest.

Don't get me wrong, Marr is pretty good. However, I don't think that he's particularly amazing. For ex. The most intriguing song he's played guitar on (for me) is dashboard and that mayhaps took 10 minutes to replicate it when learning to play it on guitar. Simply speaking, I don't think he's overly skilled in regards to actually playing the instrument, but he certainly has some creativity going on. Of course, I think Kevin Shields is monumentally more creative than Johnny Marr so vote to Mr. Shields (of course, I'd take Nels Cline over either of these guys).

1 Really that's his most interesting for you? and 2 It gets way more complex. This Charming Man's a doozy. How Soon is Now is in fact so specific and odd in its effects and playing that he doesn't remember how he did it. Still Ill was like the Roll Over Beethoven of Dark Wave.
