Steely Dan often gets unfairly categorized as "Yacht Rock" (not that there's anything wrong with Yacht Rock). However, their music is deeper and more complex than that title would suggest. Their upbeat jazz/rock features lyrically cynical undertones, reflecting the disillusioned times of the 1970s, marked by crooked presidents and unjust wars. Not so different from the times we live in now.
