Killing Joke hardly needs my defending in this case. Yes, Jaz looks like shit these days (tho' so does Scott Seward, I'd wager), but their music takes a planet-engulfing dump on Steely Dan's weedy, jazzbo piffle every day of the apocalypse.

i like killing joke tbh (i bought their first record at a store a few years ago and the guy loled and said, "i've been waiting for that one to move every since i opened the store...four years ago") but i think the comparison between their impish goth new wave punk thing and steely dan's carefully constructed, literate hard rock is a little weird?

planet-engulfing dump

Said it once & I'll assuredly say it again: FUCK Steely Dan.

Steely Dan is almost perfect but that is for another thread.

jazz-rock beats goth every time.

not every time.

there are absolutely no circumstances in which steely dan are preferable to killing joke.

i can totally understand this POV if you're into goth

I'm into goth and the answer to this is still Steely Dan

Very classy homophobia upthread, et al.
