I've become a Steely Dan junky . . . . .


I've always loved Steely Dan and that Jazzy Rock sound. Lately however, I've become addicted and can't get enough of them. I've always been a rock fan, but I'd like to expand my collection with more of the jazz/rock sound. I've got all of Steely Dan's albums and Donald's solos also. If a few of you could turn me on to some similar recording artists, it would be appreciated.

The Doobies Wheels of Fortune / Takin' It To the Streets album has several jazzy/pop cuts - The Manhattan Transfer's Tonin album does all pop cover songs with the original stars sittin' in - real jazzy. Also check out Jennifer Warnes' the Hunter album - and anything by the Bodeans (not jazzy but just great music with a different twistin sound). Also a little known album by Schonhertz and Scott called Under a Big Sky has a pop/jazzy/new age touch - very good and very different - it will not bore you.
Steely Dan's first album said it all for my audiophilia: Can't Buy a Thrill. Every time I upgrade, I somehow feel compelled to Do It Again!

Buncha groups in the same genre. I agree with the Doobies. Try also Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Atlanta Rhythm Section (they did "Spooky"), the Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Band, the Average White Band, Chicago, and Foreigner. Probly missed a bunch too. Don't forget Clapton (on the other side of jazz)!
