Hey, you guys keep voting for them in the polls. Stop  voting for them in the  polls and they will no longer show up. Tongue

Keep in mind they don't have to be jazzy or mellow or even sound remotely like SD. I just am looking for a "fair fight." Which of these(or maybe another band)do you think stands a chance against the mighty Steely Dan. Please try not to chose a band or artist that is one of the big five since they would probably not stand a chance.

Also, I want to encourage others to glean the results of this poll and take it upon yourselves to put SD up against the ones with the most votes. 
 
When you mentioned starting this thread in the thread that I started, I thought of ELO (who is not in the list).

I actually thought of adding them and almost did but I just thought Steely Dan would beat them pretty badly. I could be wrong though.

"None" would be the obvious option.

Hi,

Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks .... who made SD sound like a garage band one fine night in Jupiter, in some club!

Or on second thought, I'll vote from your list for the Pot Head Pixies (which is Gong for any who don't know).

smart man you are...Clap

later you mentioned the 3rd of the 3 truly great 70's musical bands America produced...

the ABB, Steely Dan, and BOC...

interesting comparison one draw between the 3 of them. Would be interesting to poll them, but even more interesting to debate them as I'd be curious to see just well people here know their music, not just what they like, to get where the comparison points and thus the similarities are...

In terms of songwriting sophistication, I think BOC would be a good match for the Dan. Not that the two bands sound remotely alike, though BOC have always been much more than a simple hard rock band, in spite of the label attached to them. Queen might also be a good match on account of their eclecticism, even though I think BOC's songwriting is superior.
