Steely Dan is back?! HOO-RAY!! Aja was one hell of an album, Steely Dan has a great sound, unique and very Jazzy. Of course calling Steely Dan "Pop" is rather stupid. I mean, name another band that sounds remotely like Steely Dan. Steely Dan is Steely Dan, there is no other way to adequately categorize the band. BTW, who the hell are "beck" and "radiohead"? Seriously, I have never heard of either.

EDIT: Steely Dan is not a "who", Steely Dan is the name of a songwriting/singing pair that writes their music and uses whatever studio band is handy to provide the background music. Just for perspective, I am 18.
