Steely Dan's musical genre is: Steely Dan.
Also, Steely Dan was probably one of the most versatile groups from the '70s for sure. I would encourage you both to look further into their music catalog because this group turned out some great memorable music that definitely won't disappoint, "Peg", "Reelin' in the Years", "Deacon Blues", "Hey Nineteen" just to name a few.

One of the things I love about Steely Dan is their music usually sounds so happy and danceable but their lyrics take you down a dark, very adult path of drugs, crimes, affairs and the gritty underbelly of the night. So good, such genius, been a fan since I was 12 and I'm 62 now. Their playlist is huge and so varied sometimes it doesn't even seem like the same band. Love this!!

To put this song into perspective. It was the first track off of the first Steely Dan Album when Fagen was 24 and Becker was 22. For a debut album, Can't Buy a Thrill was a musical tour de force and foreshadowed an incredible run of music created by Steely Dan in the 1970's in which Steely Dan explored the world of musical fusion taking from styles and genres to weave intricate and beautiful music often set to dark lyrics. Their musical exploration injected rich vein of music that has been sampled leading to acoustic palimpsests that echo today. As time passes, Steely Dan's influence on music continues to be recognized.
And hell, it was great music to get high listening to in the 70s.

I remember back in 1975; a professor at CMU was teaching us neophytes a Music Appreciation class. She new Donald Fagan and much to our surprise; Steely Dan showed up for a concert to our 120 seat music room for the class! They all sat down at their instruments and pulled out sheet music and began to play. It was mesmerizing! No theatrics, no wasted energy; just playing all of their songs perfectly! Steely Dan didn't tour at all at this time; so this was by far the greatest 'concert' that I ever experienced!
