Jimmy reminds me that Steely Dan wasn't the only reason I used to change radio stations fifteen times an hour. It's hard to characterize the music that was on the radio at the time without using words spelled with asterisks. It all sounded pretty much like that to me, anyway. There was great music being made at the time, but I never heard it until much later. By the time I ever heard of Big Star, or the Buzzcocks for that matter, they'd already broken up.

No doubt comparing Steely Dan to the Eagles and Steve Miller tells you more about me than it tells you about Steely Dan; yeah, whatever.
