About
Also known as: スティーリー・ダン
Steely Dan spent the early 1970s as a regular rock band, then just stopped playing live by the end of 1974. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen carried on as a studio only duo, hiring a rotating cast of session players to get the sound they wanted. That sound was a smooth, slightly sneaky blend of rock, jazz, Latin music, R&B and blues, polished to a high shine and wrapped around cryptic, irony soaked lyrics. Rolling Stone called them the perfect musical antiheroes for the seventies. The debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, set the template in 1972, and Aja became their biggest seller in 1977. They split in 1981, reunited in 1993, and 2000's Two Against Nature won Album of the Year at the Grammys. Their last album of new material was 2003's Everything Must Go. They went into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and have sold over 40 million records.
