I neve got into the Dan, until I met Mrs. Instigator, who is from El Paso and in El Paso Steely Dan are like GODS. Each song is an "El Paso classic". Because of her I fell hard for the song Deacon's Blues. I found it so sad and so beautiful, so I bought AJA, and fucking fuck, I could not deny the MUSIC inside. I am not too fond of their earlier work, but when they said fuck it and became a studio band? great timeless songs. Not rock, not jazz, not anything specific, just intelligent music with intellgent lyrics written for ADULTS
