Perusing the "Favorite Song" thread, I thought to myself, what we need is a thread celebrating our favorite bands.

(ahem)MUSIC BEGINS AND ENDS WITH STEELY DAN. (exhibit A)

Please list your "runners up"....

Had a girlfriend (back when the ALBUM was new) that thought Steely Dan's "AJA" was the be all/do all. I think we woke up to it every Saturday morning. To this day - If I know that any track from AJA is going to be played, I make sure the key to the C4 locker is hidden, along with all the magazines for the HK91

:rofl: hilarious....

I actually drove from St. Louis, Missouri to Omaha Nebraska once with only a Steely Dan "Aja" cassette. It's good but not that good.
My favorite is "The Royal Scam".

I went out a couple of times with a girl that had a David Bowie shrine in her room (she even called it that). Something wasn't quite right with her. Nothing wrong with David Bowie, but still...
 
Funny thing about Steely Dan is that whenever I listen to them (or Donald Fagen for that matter) I automatically start thinking of L-1011s and 727s. Obviously some childhood association.....my parents listened to ALOT of their music around the same time I was getting to make my first airline flights as a kid.

There is a prog rock group called El-Ten-Eleven and their most popular albums cover art is a 727 taking off.....their music has always reminded me of the hustle and bustle of flying on a busy day. Check them out.
 
MANY great choices, but no one mentioned Amazing Rhythm Aces. C'mon, people! :(

I don't know anyone who is a 20 year old man who likes One Direction. Most people who like 1D are 15 year old girls.

Hard to have a favorite. It's like asking if you prefer one cutie over another when they both look great. And there are a lot of one-hit wonders who had an awesome song, but just one.

And people have different tastes. Just the other day my wife mentioned she really liked Steely Dan. I've always hated their music. I did like Fagan's Heavy Metal though.

I never liked The Eagles except for the Hotel California LP. Same for Willie Nelson with The Red Headed Stranger and Huey Lewis with Sports.

I've always thought Madonna was a musical genius.

Others I really like:

Elton John
Billy Joel
AC/DC
Sara Evans
Toby Keith
Brad Paisley
Kenny Chesney
Natalie Merchant
