Dan-related resources on the Net

Steelydan.Com

Official site of Becker and Fagen. Most authoritative info on tours, lyrics, discography and hilariously random essays. Be sure to click on the Siteguide link to find archives of the band's activities since 1994.

Dandom.com

The Web home for the original Internet resource on Steely Dan: Jim "Hoops!" McKay's informative listserv. Check out the entertaining Bluebook, a guestbook frequented by both well-informed fans and Viagra spammers. (To subscribe to the Digest, send a message with the word "subscribe" in the topic to subscribe@dandom.com.)

Steely Dan Database

The most complete database of Steely Dan releases, concerts, bootlegs, samples... everything that can be databased! A labor of love by Hans Verlouw of the Netherlands.

Metal Leg photographs

The Steely Dan Shrine

Rare lyrics, sound bytes, guitar tabs and links.

The Steely Dan Dictionary

Another great idea! An A-Z dictionary of obscure words, people and places — all taken from the lyrics of Steely Dan songs.

Under the Banyan Trees (Now in archive format)

For many years, the best all-around Steely Dan tribute site, host StAl has put the site into archive mode.

Other resources

Beat Connections in Rock Music

A fascinating site that documents the many deep connections between Beat movement writers and rock music. Note the section on the derivation of the Steely Dan name. And yes, if you are easily offended you will *not* want to look at this link.

Metal Leg Index

An index with hypertext links to the now-defunct Metal Leg, the Steely Dan magazine. The fanzine itself is being laboriously, yet lovingly, keyboarded elsewhere on my site.
