What killed rock? I believe it was all started by Steely Dan, who invented both adult contemporary and smoove jazz at the exact same time, and somehow got played on rock stations. The title track from this album is unforgivable new age slop..."An independent station/WJAZ/With jazz and conversation..." Jeez. Steely Dan, and especially Donald Fagen, was rock for people who didn't like rock but who WANTED to like rock but who really didn't know exactly what rock was.
IMO, of course...

I'm with Romanelli, one of the worst albums I've ever heard. Unimaginative slop.
Interesting points about Steely Dan 'killing rock', I can see where you're coming from.
