I've become a Steely Dan junky . . . . .

I've always loved Steely Dan and that Jazzy Rock sound. Lately however, I've become addicted and can't get enough of them. I've always been a rock fan, but I'd like to expand my collection with more of the jazz/rock sound. I've got all of Steely Dan's albums and Donald's solos also. If a few of you could turn me on to some similar recording artists, it would be appreciated.

Yes, I've got all of their solo albums too.
Glen, I've got every Sting and Police album also. Must be the style I'm hooked on.
I can't help but wonder what other less known acts are out there. Maybe all this means I could easily get hooked on pure jazz. Any recommendations?

Hi Flip,
A group called Danny Wilson (there is nobody by that name in it) put out two albums in the 80s. The first one is called: Meet Danny Wilson. Can't remember the name of the other. They also have a best of out on Cd. They really sound like Steely Dan, perhaps more pop and a little less jazzy. Their first is very good.

Try Special EFX, The Rippingtons, Spyra Gyra. Also you might like Joe Sample, David Sanborn, or Lonnie Liston Smith (earlier stuff). The latter three are more jazz than rock, they are a good transition into mainstream jazz.
