i can't believe how long it took me to realize that Steely Dan is a great band. perhaps because the only SD song i heard for decades was "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" and any song gets old when that's all you heard. what really turned me around was "Deacon Blue," a great song with lyrics that make no fucking sense to me whatsoever, but then little Fagen writes does. i don't care. SD makes great music, and this is one of my faves.
