I would be extremely biased toward Steely Dan in almost any poll. I do like the Roxies a lot but Steely Dan have never put out a bad album, not even a mediocre one, they are all great.Aja being the touted masterpiece. Their music bears multiple repeated listenings for minute intricate details and the lyrics are mind-boggling.

Really? Have you heard the last two SD albums? I would say they hardly went out with a bang.

In my opinion Steely Dan have never reached the peaks of Roxy Music first and second album.

Not a massive RM fan but more a fan of their music than the fusion and jazz in SD.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

If there was a racehorse named Roxy it would be taking the lead right about now. ;)

Nope, not incredible at all. In fact I expect it. That doesn't make me any less likely to state my opinion though just like you stated yours. ;)

Fan of both. Too difficult for me to separate them. Just on Avalon, it's pop, not prog, but is it any less a piece of art because it's not prog? Hardly. Just personal taste.

Whew...tough choice for me...two bands that I like quite a lot.
There's a uniqueness to both bands and a very original approach by each. It may be a cop out but I'll say equal on this one.

Gaucho killed the 'Dan for me after a string of highly likable albums. I get something new out of Roxy' every time I listen to them although weak portions of their albums can be challenging to the ear. Hard to choose here.

right on Doc... from a purely musical evaluation I'd rate them equal in terms of what they brought to the table as both had many great albums and were extremely unique and original. Though again the collection of musical talent and how it was used in Dan sets them above pretty much any group one can compare them to. Roxy never really connected with me the way the dark cynicism and corresponding bleak worldview of the Dan did..
