Which of these 4 bands do you enjoy most ?

The Allman Brothers Band

 

In order:

The Allman Brothers Band
Little Feat
Steely Dan
The Band

 

Steely Dan by a country mile. I am a massive fan of theirs -- and honestly don't care for any of the others listed.

 

Steely Dan by a wide margin. I have records by Little Feat and The Allman Brothers, but nothing by The Band.

 

Allmans.......i like the brothers and the first 4 lps!

 

The Band or Steely Dan. Never heard much of the other two. It's Steely Dan though, they have more good albums than the Band.

 

The ABB have been my favorite band since their debut in 1969. Love the other three as well.

 

The Band with Steely Dan a close second

 

Steely Dan for me.

 

I really like Little Feat, they could really get a groove going, but their song writing was nowhere near as good as The Band’s. The Allman’s have produced songs that are among my very favorite, at their best they’re hard to touch, but I never found any of their albums consistent throughout. Steely Dan’s six album run has very few rivals, but they seem a little out of place in this company.
I voted The Band

 

i couldn't pick to be honest ....
i love steely dan's debut and several of their other albums (especially pretzel logic, aja and gaucho)
i love abb idlewild and live at filmore east plus some scattered songs among the rest
i love little feat's first three albums and waiting for colombus
i love the band's last waltz and a lot of scattered songs throughout their catalog

maybe it would be
feat/dan equal first
abb 2nd
band 3rd
really hard to pick

 

Easily Steely Dan.

The others were good bands but none of them ever did much for me, whereas I really like most of the Dan's output...

 

Very interesting choices. I can definitely say the one I care least about is ABB. And I'm not saying I don't like 'em - I think they were an awesome band in the Duane era - but I just couldn't rank The Band, Little Feat and Steely Dan if my life depended on it. At their peak, they were all just perfect as far as I'm concerned.

 

Allmans for me all the way.

 

With you on that, Steely Dan are really the odd man (or men) out here to my mind.

I can't choose between them because their best is all as good as each other to me.

 

I love Steely Dan. A very rock-jazzy group that I love showing my friends to.

 

Picked Little Feat but could have gone for any of 'em really

 

Agreed.....I would listen to the last three Band albums (without Robertson) before Islands, Moondog Matinee and maybe even Cahoots.

So obviously I went for The Band

I may have gone for Little Feat had it been based on just the Lowell George years.....

The other two I have bit n bobs of their catalogues, but not sufficient enough to consider a fan.

 

Steely Dan, mind you i only like maybe 4 or 5 of their songs. Don't like the other bands in the slightest, not my cuppa.

 

The Allman Brothers Band have always ranked high on my live performance bands. That is included in the enjoyment analysis compared to the others.

 

Gotta be the Dan man

 

Little Feat are more or less completely forgotten in the UK, but I took a punt in a cheap LP (Dixie Chicken) and was surprised at how good it was. They’ve got probably two other very good albums, but a lot of garbage too.

The Allmans have done nothing but disappoint me with their fairly lame boogie rock.

 

My heart wants to vote for The Band, but Steely Dan were great for a lot longer.

 

I voted for The Band but love the Brothers as well - really apples and oranges, a very song-oriented band who could play but only did so in sevrice of the song v. a jamming band who could write but loved to just play. Little Feat I've enjoyed from time to time, the Dan I respect but don't really enjoy (too arch).
