Cairo Foster #15.
Built To Spill vs. Modest Mouse.
Cairo's video parts could spark the 90s version of the classic 80s debate over who is the better band, The Cure or The Smiths. He was only on Real from 1999 to 2002. I didn't realize it was such a short stint because I tend to associate him with Real. He was previously on Mad Circle right before the company went under. Cairo would start Popwar with Giant Distribution before a long run on enjoi. His nollie and nollie kickflip game was on point back in The Reason and Kicked Out Of Everywhere era.

I'll take Built to Spill - especially as it's in his Transworld The Reason part which is a classic
I'm on the Modest Mouse side, as long as it was recorded and released in the 1990s. While there are Built To Spill songs that I think are great, I've arrived at this point where I think Doug Martsch sounds like a dying cat, both in singing and playing guitar. Dude has also done some shady stuff kicking out band members, but that's in the 2000s.
