1. Shit, that's like asking "What's tastier: puke or snot?"

[JVS]

2. Clearly snot! Most kids pick their nose and eat it, few go for the puke

3. Steely Dan pilloried hippie/Boomer pieties and hypocrisy.

Hippies, however, didn't make over-much fun of Steely Dan.

Therefore, Steely Dan wins this round.

[Radical Activist]

4. Neither. Emo kids

[XNASA]

5. Steely Dan the band?

Or Steely Dan the dildo?

[SteppingRazor]

6. Hippies had better music -- even the freakin Grateful Dead rules over S.D.

much less Hendrix, Joplin, etc.

Hippies: 1

Steely Dan: 0

7. I hate to say it, but... Arthur Lee was a hippy.

Donald Fagen's just a turd. ;)

8. Dan

n/t

9. @ least hippies don't TRY to be boring

[JVS]

11. Do hippies really TRY to be anything? The boring thing comes naturally

They just like to put a happy face on it and call it being mellow

[Schema Thing]

12. I know who you are....

You're "the man", ain'tcha.




:hippie:

13. You don't know squat

10. Both are cool

Yeah, there are some hippies that aren't cool and some Steely Dan music that isn't cool, but I think both are cool overall. And I think Steely Dan's music was at its best during the hippie era (first three albums) for whatever that's worth.
