I didn't want to do it, I was compelled to do it.

Indeed, and that's why I moved it to Just For Fun, there'a lot of silly stuff there.

I find it intriguing that in some comparisons Steely Dan have become a benchmark. It depends on which band you put agianst them. Except any of the main 7 of prog + 8 more, Steely Dan will contend strongly. Of the big 6 i think Steely Dan in a poll could hold strongly against ELP. Against the others they will be stomped.
Classic benchmarks in PA are the troika of Yes/Genesis/King Crimson vs x band Pink Floyd vs x band Suppers Ready vs x song Starless vs x song Beatles vs x band Now it also is Steely Dan vs x crossover prog / prog related band Edited by Icarium - February 19 2019 at 15:44 |

This one was tough. I consider MDK a dominating album and better than anything The Dan ever did(which is saying A LOT). And there are other Magma albums that I really like.. the debut, Felicite Thosz, Attahk, Udu Wudu. But those first 7 albums from The Dan, especially when you factor in the solo Fagen stuff.. just too much. Good poll though, I had to think about this one.

Steely Dan are so bourgeois...

Does this mean I don't have to start a ELP VS Steely Dan poll like I was going to?

Literally. Won't vote, about as far from comparable as two bands can be. Plus I don't feel confident in my Magma listening experience (translation: Steely Dan ...) |
