It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Dead vs Steely Dan

I don't really think of Steely Dan as a rock band.

Singer/songwriters yes, but those two guys used session musicians for just about all the instrument playing- drums. lead guitar, percussions,keyboard, etc. and often backing vocals.

And the session musicians often contributed to the compositions - guitar solos and riffs, drum riffs, etc.

Pretty much just the vocals and basic melodies came from the two, although Becker sometimes contributed some guitar work also.
