Re: Steely Dan
Thanks Poda... never knew you liked The Dan!.. They are one of my all time fave bands... probably third to King Crimson and VDGG. their best track I think is Your Gold Teeth II from Katy Lied... smoothest drumming I have ever heard.
As far as the Dan on the Moon?... well I always considered Supertramp (whom I love) to be in the same vein as the Dan... not really catagorizable ( is that a word?)...but they are here... I also don't consider Rush to be prog.. They are ROCK... freakin MULLET ROCK at that!... and they are here much to my endless chagrin..
As far as THE DAN goes... they are far closer to prog than many bands here but I personally don't think they belong on the Moon... what makes them GREAT is that they can NOT be trapped in any genre... I think they are the greatest band of all time for this reason.. I know teenagers, older people, blacks, whites, hispanics, women , men... everyone likes The Dan... it's just plain happy music with a message... we need more of this on the airwaves in these days of depressingly meaningless socially polarizing homogeneous musical drivel.
