Bah! Steely Dan is tops.

Steely Dan is really just 2 guys, Becker and Fagen (and a lot of the time, Skunk Baxter). However, they used some of the top studio musicians around for their albums and tours. But they really weren't a band with a static membership.

Innovative. Doing “fusion” many years before it gained wider popularity.
