Steely Dan - Everything Must Go

Quizzical looks greeted Steely Dan’s win over Eminem and Radiohead for Album of the Year at the 2001 Grammys. After all, it had been 20 years since Walter Becker and Donald Fagan’s last studio recording. But Steely Dan, named for a dildo in William Burroughs’ Naked Lunch, has never followed trends or timetables. Trumping Two Against Nature’s success is this latest slice of Becker and Fagan’s sassy jazz-pop, full of sardonic lyrics and impeccable playing. An artful addition to a subversive oeuvre.
