Buffalohed, do you really think Mogwai's best song was an album intro?
I don't think it is their best song. It is my favorite more for sentimental reasons now than me thinking it is their highest quality song. It was the first Mogwai song I really got into. Anyway, the top 12 or so on that list could all be considered my favorite at some point.
I would say their "best" songs are CODY, Xmas Steps, Mogwai Fear Satan, and maybe Friend of the Night. Whatever that means.
