Details: Steely Dan's songwriter/musicians Walter Becker and Donald Fagan were "anti-rock & roll," defying all it's conventions with their sly lyrics and jazz/R&B leanings. 1973's Countdown to Ecstasy was a hit with the critics, but failed to generate a hit single, even though the reluctant band supported it with a tour - their last. Over the years, most fans agree that it's the best Steely Dan LP ever. The gold album includes the tracks "Bodhisattva," "My Old School" and much more.
