Some of the best music of my life was made by Becker and Fagan. Salute.

At least I got to see them a few times in the 2000s.

Steely Dan is my favorite group of any genre, and more influential than most people realize. Certainly an inspiration to me and many others.

I listened to all the 70s steely dan albums a lot when I was younger but haven't really listened to the full albums in years. classic stuff

I posted about this on FB, but 10-12 years ago I made an effort to check out albums from titan, "pillars of the genre" type artists outside of my usual hip-hop, r'n'b, soul selections. I had a fat gift card and used that as an excuse to cop some classics from the 60's and 70's. That included Steely Dan and I went with "Aja" as that was the one I had heard of the most.

That album had a big impact on me as up until then I didn't know much about "rock" that wasn't heavily focused around electric guitars being front and center. I don't want to get too hung up on labels, but that "jazz rock" Aja sound directed me to stuff like Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Soft Machine. I LIKE classic rock, but I really liked the stuff with jazz (and other genre) influences that you hear on Aja.
