They were the dominant antidote to rock music in the 1970s. Some might say they pioneered yacht rock (insert comment here). They’re back in vogue with the younger generations, and I don’t know why. I explore their history, the music, why they’ve been love/hate anti-rebels since they started, why people are into them now, and why they ever were. And I sort through ALL of my hugs and ughs.Are you a fan of the Dan? Do you just know the hits? Can you not stand them? Do you think they deserve a place in the pantheon of great 1970s artists? And why do you think they’re so popular again? Discuss dammit!BONUS MxTRA VIDEO: The best songs that sampled Steely Dan~~~*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
