10CC. It isn't even remotely close for me. I can admire Steely Dan, but I always found them to be a bit humorless. Maybe it was there and I missed it. I loved 10CCs sarcasm, as cited by TCat, above. Zappa asked "Does humor belong in music?" I'd reply that it's vital to it.

I'm a surprised with the vote. I expected Steely Dan to pitch a shutout here. Steely Dan gets my vote.

RIO invasion was yesterday, now the Steely Dan mob will drive all others out of the forum!

I think the next poll should be Suzi Quatro vs. Steely Dan, so I can vote for Suzi.

As this time Steely Dan are up against a band that I really like, I can take part and vote against them.

I was actually going to start a poll asking which bands should go up against Steely Dan next. If I do now I won't have to include 10CC. :)

I feel Steely Dan's output was more consistently good through time, though I do still appreciate 10CC and their sarcasm.

Watching this will give a proper reason why 10cc were such a good unit when they were most active.

Here's another Steely Dan poll. One thing these two bands have in common is both their names are a reference to sex.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
