on an island? Steel Dan... got to have some good pop tunes to keep your head working.

At least choose a more tumultuous battle like Lake Of Dracula vs. Donald Fagen.

Steely Dan, hands down.

Steely Dan by a laughably large margin. Also, Donut OTM.

Steely Dan.
I like US Maple, but becker & fagen are some of the best songwriters EVAH.

That's a really odd choice. I'd pick Steely Dan even though I'm not a huge fan -- I think I'd get bored of U.S. Maple more quickly and could "get more out of" Steely Dan.

US Maple all the wayyyyyyyy.

― pppp, Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

steely dan, duh

What's the connection here?

You feel smart listening to and talking about both bands.

OTM

Mind you, stereotypically enough, these are two of my favorite bands ever, but still...The ILM groupmind rears its fugly head.

Reggaeton

steely dan on an island, though i'm not over-familiar w/them. if it was somewhere w/minimal external stimuli, then us maple. us maple songs are like gnarled brush, with spatial and shifting architecture, and are more stimulating, to me, than steely dan songs. whereas steely dan's songs seem more linear-shaped, they would be better accompaniment to a (tropical?) island scenario (beach, waterfall, broad foliage, abrupt mountain backdrop, crab grass, coconut, serene vistas, etc). seriously though, us maple songs can stave off actual hunger until a food source is found. and total fruit warning can be a moral booster under any circumstances. aja appears next to acre thrills on my ipod. i had us maple for breakfast.

Oh, so I can't take any hip-hop? You fucking rockists!

Steely Dan

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 31 December 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)
