Radiohead vs. Steely Dan

February 23, 2001

Why you gotta do the Dan like that, guys? Arguably the best drug rock band of the 70s (other than Camel, right Phil?), with a sound that is always amazingly contemporary, even now. As we all know, Mary Jane never goes out of style. Sure, they didn't deserve a Grammy, but who gives a shit? Those prick fucks in Radiohead wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the Dan. Maybe, I think, you guys just haven't smoked enough ganj when you've been in the presence of a really expensive, really good stereo system. What do you say we all go over to Tom's dad's place with a phat sack: An infallible recipe for changing your mind about Fagen and Becker.

Well said, man. My friends and I always referred to the Dan as "Coke rock." Just saw them here in L.A. last Thursday and was counting the drug references littered throughout the songs. Hedonism at it's best.
