I thought for all of their albums they were on Rough Trade Records, which if I'm not mistaken was an independent label..

You thought wrong then. All their albums were released through Sire, a child label of Warner's.

When you think about it, wouldn't have made sense if they got as big as they did on an indie label.

It appears our sources conflict then...

I think it may just have been a distribution deal that Warner concocted with Rough Trade, if so I'm mistaken.

Yep, I believe that's what it was.

The Smiths were definitely one of a kind, getting so much popularity when they were on a small independent label.

Would it be fair to say Johnny Marr best Indie guitarist now?

I disagree, Marr - always.

Although I'm listening to Farm at the moment.

On the topic of great indie guitarists, I'm a big fan of the boys in Treepeople: Doug Martsch and whatever the other man's name was. I haven't been able to find a source to tell me. They wrote some excellent lead lines to compliment their grungy indie pop rock.

speaking of indie guitarists, what about the guys from Mogwai?
