If Pax is looking for an Alan Ladd non-Shane western I'd recommend "Whispering Smith" or "Branded".
The AFI Top Ten lists are sort of traditional in scope so I think the Spaghetti westerns and Rustler's Rhapsody were pretty much guaranteed short shrift from them. And you'd probably see Blazing Saddles on the list well before the latter in any case.
Happy Birthday to the podcast!
