Afternoon Aural: Steely Dan

Our pal and colleague Cord Jefferson describes Steely Dan as "the perfect band." We rolled our eyes, to which he replied, "It's true." We're not sure we agree, but we can get down on "Do It Again."

Second best studio band in history (I'm assuming #1 is obvious).

I just noticed that they have some sound in common with Traffic.

Wouldn't the #1 studio band be Milli Vanilli? They won a Grammy so they must be the greatest most beloved band of our generation. Heh.

Steely Dan is the #1 studio band ever. Of course, I'm 43 and it's my opinion. There is an amazing DVD called Steely Dan "Aja". It shows how they go about crafting a few of the songs on the album. It is truly amazing!
