Obscure Song You Should Download
Steely Dan is one of the most underrated bands of all time, in my opinion. How many times do you ever hear them mentioned in any "greatest ever" lineups? Never. I love Steely Dan because they cross so many borders with their music, like an American version of Traffic. They have numerous hits that are very radio friendly, like "Reelin in the Years," "Peg," "Old School" and "Deacon Blues." Everyone knows the sound that Steely Dan has, it's almost jazz, almost rock, and almost blues....but not quite. They just own their sound, plain and simple. Any band that can do that can call themselves a success (with the exception of some 80's new wave acts who sucked beyond belief).
From Steely Dan's 1972 album "Can't Buy a Thrill," I bring you "Dirty Work."
