I love how the 80s discography of The Cure is basically the story of a depressed goth who finds his soulmate and discovers genuine happiness and joy.

Can't Buy a Thrill era Steely Dan was a sneaky country-rock outfit w/Skunk on the steel and drummer Jim Hodder handling vocals. Dallas was recorded in 1972 & ABC issued it as their first single w/Sail the Waterway as the B-side. Both tunes were sadly disavowed by Walt & Don.
