The first DDD of 2020 is here! This month, I'm checking out famed smooth rock kings, Steely Dan. Their history is storied and their discography is revered - but is it deservedly so? Will I end up hating it? How many references to Oh Hello on Broadway can I fit in?

Let me know who you'd like to see discussed next time in the comments!
