Right. Their first single isn't a song many here have even heard of.

I think if you played the single, Dallas, most would not even recognize that it is Steely Dan. It's kind of country rock, better suited for Poco who covered it a few years later. SD's second, third and fifth singles, however, are classic rock radio standards: Do It Again, Reelin' In The Years and My Old School. Show Biz Kids doesn't seem to get as much airplay.
