Good call on Steely Dan. Yeah, such a disparity between the source and meaning of the name, and the style and attitude of the band. I often wondered why they didn't come up with a better name for themselves; when they were so inventive themselves, why fall back on someone else's innapropriate invention for your name?

At least with this band, some of their tracks sound like they are generated by soft machines. (Anyway, that's the kind of thing I used to imagine as I obsessively replayed this track:-)
