Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?

Remember, this leafy green garnish was the indifferent aristocracy to punk rock's stone-throwing in the late 70's. People fought

not like this...not like this

Green Garnish was in Scritti Politti not Steely Dan

aren't they the british steely dan

That's Steeleye Span.

it's probably the blue nile or one of those other oppressive science-of-the-mundane bands tim and brad will slowly, attritionally and inevitably get me to like

thoughts on parsley?

Who is the grouch? Oh, imago.

what kind of grouch misquotes ogden nash so liberally

'Who are the British Steely Dan?' is actually a really difficult question to answer.

10cc obv.

(not really obv, obv)

That is *exactly* the sort of thing I was reaching for.

here they are:

I turn 30 next week. aaaaaaaaaargh

took me another 10 years, don't worry about it (yet)

Traffic are British steely dan

also "my old school" is the steely dan song that pairs best with mint cilantro chutney

Traffic are British steely dan

love Traffic, especially Mr. Fantasy, and still can't get SD. suppose you mean TLSoHHB. I try SD every so often and, no. just bought an ES-335 and I've been listening to Larry Carlton, so perhaps this is the year.

you are collecting dan accoutrements

but it isn't necessary. you may cancel the divorce proceedings.

Supertramp probably remind me of Steely Dan more than traffic does. i don't think i ever would have thought of SD listening to Traffic. Supertramp: wordy story songs, progressive, horns, "clever", huge pop/rock hits, ubiquitous on radio for decades, idiosyncratic lead vocals, nerdy, top-notch musicality and production.

something i can't get away from on Facebook OR ILM: people actually listening to paul mccartney solo albums and, like, talking about them at length seriously. i don't know how old i would have to be to do that. and i'm old!

I got started at age 14 or 15 - sure, I think about quitting sometimes, but let's be real.

Not to interrupt this legit-amazing digression but I wanted to point this out--

Steely Dan seem to be all-time-favourite-artists of pretty much everyone at the AV Club

--as a possible hint why ILX might actually seem less essential in these days: after years of being way ahead of the curve, it seems that in the past couple years, the rest of the Internet is starting to catch up

XTC are the British Steely Dan.

for Steely Dan insert any artist in any sphere of art and this is true, which is why certain kinds of opinion - those that seek to prove cilantro tastes great/horrible by algebra, or those that just repeat over and over "I love/hate cilantro and there's nothing you can do to stop me", or those furrow-browed "why the hell does anybody like the taste of cilantro?" comments - are stupid and mockworthy and to be chased away if you feel like it on any given day

I don't think is true. I think there are some artists (at least in the ILX discourse) that are more like bacon than cilantro. There are a lot of people who love them, but there are others that are ethically opposed and still others that mock the adoration of the bacon-artist fans and think they are overrated and overplayed.

is Avalon era Roxy Music the British Steely Dan?

cockney rebel got kinda steely dan

I think there are some artists (at least in the ILX discourse) that are more like bacon than cilantro

oh man i smell an awesome theory cooking

is Avalon era Roxy Music the British Steely Dan?

re the bacon vs. cilantro theory -- someone else mentioned KISS upthread --they are def. in the bacon category

oh for this board to be so quiet again

if that is bacon then what is bread in this theory

bread = artists it has become fashionable to claim being allergic to in the past few years? idk

lol

not every food product has an equivalent artist

Belle & Sebastian. Except Bread were much better.

palm oil is the lost prophets of vegan fat

still trying to wrap my mind about how *disliking* yacht rock makes one an out-of-touch dad

(bacon might be a good comparison: an oily, smarmy kind of thing elevated to meme status by legions of dudes)

Didn't realise Fleetwood Mac were one of the defining yacht rock bands.

But I don't think it's hard to imagine kids liking this stuff instead of what your average punk dad likes. Maybe after Ariel Pink, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake sampling or namedropping that stuff.

to a lot of people they are! (I can tolerate them more than most other artists in the category, but)

ground zero for baconing culture might have been the Big Lebowski. subsequent baconings include bill murray, werner herzog, and sriracha.

lebowski gets a pass for hating the fuckin' eagles

i dont think herzog has been baconed yet

i mean how many people are really going to sit down w/ aguirre the wrath of god
