Steely Dan

The American rock group Steely Dan consists of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, among other constantly-revolving group members, who rose to popularity in the late 70s with rock/pop hits like "Reelin in the Years" and "Hey Nineteen". Throughout their 40+ years as a group, Steely Dan has released a total of 9 studio albums and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Most recently, Steely Dan received the prestigious honor of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Steely Dan formed in in the early 70s after Fagen and Becker met in New York, where they attended the same college. Their debut album Can't Buy a Thrill was released in 1972 and produced two singles-"Do It Again" and Reelin' In the Years", which both landed on the Billboard singles chart. Soon after, Countdown to Ecstasy was produced, but it failed to replicate the success of their debut album. Both members blamed this on the fact that they had to record the album in a hurry, due to time constraints.

The group continued to produce new material throughout the 70s, and by 1981, they both agreed that it was time to end the partnership. It wasn't until the mid-80s that they decided to attempt writing new material, but both were unhappy with the results. Both Fagen and Becker worked on side projects of their own during this time, but never achieved the same success as with Steely Dan. In early 2011, the group announced their latest U.S. tour called the "Shuffle Diplomacy Twenty Eleven", alongside the Miles High Big Band and The Embassy Brats.
