Comments
I always thought Steely Dan was just some pushover Jazz-Reggae kind of guy who performs weird hippie music and children's songs, but he's actually pretty good.

With one of the lamest Album covers, Album name, and just Band name in general, they actual fare pretty well in the music world. A cool breeze of Rock and Jazz, entwined together with the rope of a very poppy voice, it's kind of refreshing, but also strange how this followed up Wu-Tang Clan.

Still, I suppose Steely Dan ain't that bad, but I wouldn't expect it in my playlist anytime soon.
