I think you'd have to put Steely Dan in the list with Yes and Jethro Tull.

Timeless stuff - "Aja" is as classic as it gets. I still listen to it all the time.

Next to Jethro Tull, i think i listened to Steely Dan more than any other group. ah..thinking about my college days and going to the coach house every Friday Afternoon. Starting off the weekend just right with pitchers of beer and 'Dont Take me Alive' from Steely Dan..

Oh, I love "Don't Take Me Alive" - my husband and I always sing "Got a case of Diet Rite, I could hold out here all night". (We changed the whole thing to a parody about a guy hiding from the law in a grocery store.)

: )

Cool tune. (I've got too many favorites to list mine!)

By the way, they have a new album coming out, called "Everything Must Go", and they're touring this summer. (I love the Dan!)
