EPISODE SUMMARY:
They're musically complex. They're lyrically unusual. They blend jazz and 70s rock and humor in a way that no other band could. They're Steely Dan and despite their many hits leading them to sell millions of albums worldwide, they often are not given the respect they deserve. But that won't stop former child actor and current entertainment lawyer Jeff Cohen, most well-known for playing "Chunk" in 1985's beloved adventure comedy Goonies, from declaring them some of the greatest musicians of their generation.
