Walter Becker of Steely Dan

Another great gone far too soon. Steely Dan is truly one of the most musically interesting bands of all time. Albums such as Pretzel Logic, Aja, and Can't Buy A Thrill were some of the best of the 70s and of all time.

I also love The Royal Scam. I did get a bit tired of Aja for a while because it got overplayed, but it is a great album. And he and Donald Fagen were still touring together and performing all those great songs. RIP Mr. Becker.

I think "The Royal Scam" is my favorite Steely Dan album. They definitely produced some interesting and excellent music. RIP.

Holy crap, Walter Becker has died (per NYT). Half of most amazing musical duo since Lennon/McCartney. RIP. ---Harry Shearer So, so sad to hear this news... SD played locally a few years ago, they were as amazing as ever... I asked to go... http://fb.me/87zObN9wU ---Julian Lennon
