Steely Dan
infused jazz and funk together with rock to create a unique sound. The music
tends to be complex and they have been criticized for overproduction. Their
strength derives from sarcasm and human themes ranging from drug abuse to
relationships.
Donald
Fagen and Walter Becker met in 1967 and moved to New York in 1969 to sell their
songs to the famous Brill Building. It took three years of hard work before
they began to experience success.
They broke
up in 1981 and reunited in 1993.
They
defeated Eminem for Album of the Year at the Grammy’s in 2001. They continue to
tour to this day.
