It's OK to like both. I like Steely Dan and recognize their musical talent, but I *love* punk. Smile



+1

Reeling in the years, and do it again, were 2 songs I remember my parents playing back when I was a kid, (they bought the album when it came out)

I bought Aja album when I was in high school,

I don't think they are overrated (dire straits either) but I think both are underplayed,,,,

They got plenty of airplay in the mid 70's to early 80's. FM radio took a nosedive after that.

As well as having well written lyrics that are sung not screamed isn't appreciated either.


Check out Bad Religion, hardly screamed juvenile lyrics.
