the other thread seemed to be heading to somewhere where this seems like a better oppositional to get at underlying biases and thoughts.

so...apples and oranges? or apples and apples..?

t'Dan.

Sophisticated jazz-influenced AOR is way better than hard rock.

So....

Steely Dan, obviously. No shadow of doubt.

No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know

zeppelin. steely dan's pretty great. but zeppelin fucking rules. steely dan enervates sometimes with their midlife crisisms. "the call alabama the crimson tide," "it's hard times befallen the soul survivors," etc.

I love both, but Zeppelin's just about untouchable.

― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

I agree with what Johnny just said.

i dunno, some of these are just weird. i have to be in a completely different mood for each, and each are equally great at the thing they do.

i agree with matt on this one. i mean, comparing the Dan with Zeppelin is sort of like comparing fine Colombian to some grass you got off some dude in Camden. yknow?

t/s black flag vs. boards of canada

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

It's not really comparing them tho, more like aksing if you're more of a Dan person or a Zeppelin person. Obviously there's different times for each, but I'm way, way more of a Dan person. Probably Middle Age.

i guess i'm both, both of these bands have made some of the best music ever.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

or for me it's like:

t/s: glass of expensive wine at dinner vs. cold corona w/lime on a hot summer day...couldn't pick which is "best"

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

I could. I don't really like wine that much.

― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

i'm a dan person. but like johnny says zeppelin's just about untouchable. it's more like fine columbian versus a quarter bag of mushrooms

― kamerad, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

they both have something in common: neither band made a bad album in the 70s
