In Reply to: Steely Dan has been a top reference in quality rock recordings for years posted by Demetrio on June 12, 2005 at 12:20:04:
Steely Dan are rock lite, at best. When you can convert a band's tunes over to Muzak simply by removing the vocals, you know these tunes do not rock. No doubt your prog bands rock harder than any of the SD tunes. Most rock recordings are not audiophile material, in large part due to the amount of compression used during the recording process. The best sounding rock recording I own is the DCC version of the first Van Halen record. I'll admit that I don't listen to it much as VH aren't really my bag, but its hands down the most "audiophile" rock CD I own.
