I'm glad there is - II



Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.

As much as I love the music this team has written, I think I appreciate their lyrics even more. These guys are storytellers of the first order, from the very early stuff right up to the most recent solo projects. Do yourself a favor - sit down with one of the Steely Dan albums and read the lyrics as the song plays. Sometimes bizarre, occasionally disturbing, almost always sarcastic, and often sublime; it is to be transported into another world.
