Which Steely Dan gem should I choose from their early classics? Rikki, don't lose that number? My old school? Show biz kids? This'll do for now ...   1

#bandnameorigins  number 6 Steely Dan - Although the band likes to say that the name relates more to a "rebel spirit" they can not hide the fact that the name comes from the William Burroughs Novel "Naked Lunch" more specifically a dildo..not just any dildo a giant steam powered one...They Didn't believe they would last longer than three months like most bands in those days and since they needed a name in a hurry and had a fondness for that particular author, we get Steely Dan...One of the earlier band names "The Leather Canary" featured a drummer named Chevy Chase who went on to SNL fame and then became the bitter old man on the American TV show Community. They were also known as "The Bad Rock Group" and the "Fagen Jazz Trio"...   15
