   To map polar opposites of Steely Dan one will have to characterize SD and   
   then choose the antipodes.   
   Could result in the following criteria:   
      
   - absolutely no swing but a very tight unsquare rithme   
   - no background in American/European popular music culture   
   - only simple chords and simple chords alone   
   - no vocals   
   - completely different instrumentation   
   - live recorded   
   - main performers women (not to say young girls)   
   - no humor   
   - plain stupid   
      
   Giving it some thought I possibly could come up with candidates that will do   
   in a combination of 2 or 3 of these criteria - but all? I don't know a young   
   aboriginal girl playing didgeridoo....
