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.

Try Special EFX, The Rippingtons, Spyra Gyra. Also you might like Joe Sample, David Sanborn, or Lonnie Liston Smith (earlier stuff). The latter three are more jazz than rock, they are a good transition into mainstream jazz.

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.
