I wasn't around when Steely Dan was first alive... and that just shows that their music, which I'm discovering now and find very enjoyable, still holds up to time.  I just got a little interested in Steely Dan this year  when I heard the story about how they got their name... then I learned they  like using Macs, and they do this funky jazz stuff, and have incredibly  high production qualities... and I must admit, I like this CD, and I have  no rose-colored spectacles to look back through! Of course, this isn't Kid  Rock or Limp Bizkit or whatnot... but that's exactly why I like it so much!
