The group’s history can be divided into three stages. In its first stage, the group was a relatively conventional rock band that toured and recorded from 1972 to 1974. In its second stage (1975 - 1980) the group became a purely studio-based act with adroit session musicians who were able to express the duo’s exacting vision, and whose releases reflected a growing obsession with slick production values. Studio gloss aside, Fagen and Becker continued with their obtuse and bohemian lyrical themes that mostly deal with the underbelly of society.
The third stage was a rebirth of sorts when the band returned from a 20 year hiatus, capped off with the Grammy-winning Two Against Nature, which was released in 2000. That was since followed up by Everything Must Go in 2003.
Random facts:
Steely Dan is known for using the mu major chord, jokingly referred to as the ‘Steely Dan chord’.
