There is no way you have never heard about Steely Dan. Steely Dan is one of the most famous and successful bands in the history of American rock genre. Steely Dan was formed in 1972, but for a long period of time it remained inactive, as no new projects were released by the famous musicians for a period of about 10 years, between 1981 and 1993. However, despite the pause that Steely Dan decided to take, the famous band has always remained in the spotlight and in the attention of the fans.

Steely Dan made their debut in this formula in 1972, when they released Can’t Buy a Trill, the album which made them famous. One of the most popular singles included on this album was Do It Again and Reelin’ In the Years. This particular song has brought millions of fans to Steely Dan as it reached the American Billboard singles chart first places soon after the moment of its release. The following year, Steely Dan released their second album, Countdown to Ecstasy, which was out in 1973. In fact, between 1972 and 1977, Steely Dan has lunched a new album each year. So, in 1974 Pretzel Logic was out. In 1975, the band released Katy Lied, while the following year The Royal Scam was launched. In 1977, Steely Dan released their sixth album, Aja, which turned out to be extremely successful. Although all these albums were really successful, after the release of Aja, Steely Dan decided to take a pause and their following album, Gaucho, was out only in 1980.

In fact, 1980 was the year in which the last album of Steely Dan was released, before the band’s 2000 reunion. So, for about 20 years, Steely Dan were on a break from their musical career. However, fans were delighted to find out that the musicians decided to put an end to that pause and the year 2000 was a very important one in the destiny of Steely Dan band.
