Not their best, IMHO, but it's in my Top Ten, and I think a song about The Grateful Dead's original soundman who invented the modern day concert sound system, and allegedly made the best LSD on The West Coast in the 1960s is pretty cool.

Their hits are shit milquetoast dad "rock" that puts you to sleep.
They're only engaging when they're getting experimental.

Why is Steely Dan so highly rated? They're sleepy, soporific, and lack any kind of bite. They're so...soft, mid tempo, overproduced, undercomposed, and structurally flat.
SOME of their stuff is properly brilliant, like Aja, but most of their stuff (especially their hits) are straight up boring.
Like a worse version of Little Feat that is inexplicably more popular and more critically acclaimed.
Seriously: what's their appeal? They're only good when they're experimental and most of the time they just aren't.
