Steely Dan founded in 1972 by Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals). Blending elements of rock, jazz, latin music, R&B, blues and sophisticated studio production with cryptic and ironic lyrics, the band enjoyed critical and commercial success starting from the early 1970s. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies". Listen to Donald Fagen & Walter Becker On Steely Dan Station.
