I spent much of the 70's getting up and changing the radio station whenever Steely Dan came on. I got a lot of exercise.
I don't hate them nearly as much as I used to, but that's only because I now live in a pretty much Steely Dan free zone.
+2 they fall right into the same catagory with Steve Miller and the Eagles, who IMO are vastly superior to many acts of the time but equally overplayed to the point that any innovation is long lost on this listener. I probably wouldn't mind exploring some deep cuts and B-sides, but I've not the inclination to do so.
back on topic, congrats to Zaphod on obtaining other peoples trash, may it serve you well and pass from your hands to bring joy to others.
