Sophisticated compositions and arrangements that are incredibly engaging. So under-rated by the general public; however, musicians and those with great ears recognize these masters of their craft.

This is poetry

I probably bought 100+ albums in the 1970's and the only ones I still listen to are Steely Dan albums.

There was so much love and mutual professional respect between these two, but you don't get to hear them talk much about each other.

Whoever your favorite band is…. That bands favorite band is Steely Dan

BECKER & FAGEN produced some of the finest most sophisticated music in the 70's - 80's & Two against nature in 2000 ! Vituoso musicians 🎷👏 Lyrics were so scathing , poetry , unique. Timeless music that always was ; produced close to perfection ! 💫

Saw them 3 years in a row at Jones Beach, never played the same songs except FM as the encore. AMAZING

I got to see Walter and Donald play in COWlumbus, Ohio in 1973 when we ALL were just kids.....and it is STILL Tattooed on my Soul all these decades later! I Saw The Dan of Steel the year before they went on "hiatus" from touring for almost 20 years! I'm grateful for my memories! Cheers Everyone

donald reminds me of the place and people i grew up with in woodland hills, ca, mid to late 60’s.

Thank heavens I saw them play. Awesome.

I never thought I'd get to see them live during the long dry spell in the 80s and early 90s - but did manage six times between 1996 - 2014. The two best were the first show in 1996 in Toronto on the Art Crimes tour, and 2008 here in Ottawa for Bluesfest. Both rank equally as the best live shows I've ever seen. Still missing Walter.

This gave me goosebumps.

They grabbed the subtle funk, white boy jazz, and commercially packaged it with the wisdom of King Salomon and current culture of a future internet. They could make you feel you were large city hopping in California. 100 times more interesting than NY. But both from NY.
