I find it interesting that the Steely Dan song has been targeted so much; it's a fine dad-rock song and definitely one of their more accessible tunes.

Only in an attempt to save my beloved Flume!

My surmise is that some of the folks on AM are tired of listening to dad-rock, prog-rock and songs they consider dated and over-played.

But if there are musical objections to the song (I do not consider it a masterpiece either), perhaps some of those who are rejecting the song can describe those objections to us.

I have three songs I don't care for in the original list. One is gone, one seems likely to go soon (unless some modern-era Survivor advantage comes into play) and the other I voted for.
