That is if anyone even pays any mind to the subject. . I have a feeling this topic will slip quietly into oblivion.

Still haven't heard Steely Dan. Some of their albums sound intriguing though. |

Steely Dan are/were an excellent band, but in my humble opinion, not prog rock -------------  Jon Lord 1941 - 2012 |

Giants of smooth, radio-friendly, blue-eyed soul. I'd bet that Becker & Fagan would scoff at the notion of their being "progressive rock."

| The only references I have about this duet (well, it is really a duet since the mid 70s) is their song "Rikki don`t lose that number" or something like that. This song is still played in FM Radio stations in my country. I also saw them in their "VH1 Storytellers" TV Programme. I don`t consider them as Prog, but they have some influences from jazz-rock. |

The excellent first album "Can't Buy A Thrill" is hard to beat.

I've got the complete works of Steely Dan up to Aja, and I bow to none in my admiration for their musical and lyrical sophistication, their intricate arrangements and the phenomenal standards of musicianship throughout their work. But it ain't prog. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

| No, But is an interesting Band! |

| No, of course not, but a great band, one of my all time favourites, and Donald Fagen's solo albums are also excellent. |

Not prog; but a wildly talented band nonetheless. Fagen and Becker work perfectly together. Fagen's new solo album is excellent. I would go as far to say that it's better than SD's 2vsN and Everything Must Go. Fagen's The Nightfly is still the best, though. E -------------

SD definitely have some prog-related songs and there is their strong fusion component at times, but generally speaking, not prog imo. Certainly one of my favourite US bands notwithstanding. The 2 AGAINST NATURE DVD is a 'must have' in my view--outstanding! ------------- Looking still the same after all these years... mrgd |
