Steely Dan

Steely Dan is an American jazz rock/rock band founded by core members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. The band's popularity peaked in the late 1970s, and their seven albums over that period of time blended elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies". (Read more at Wikipedia)

Links to Peel
Although we do not have recorded comments on Steely Dan made by Peel, logs indicate that he was at least a little bit interested in them: he was one of the only DJs to play their first single "Dallas" in 1972, an obscure song which would not even be included in their debut album "Can't Buy A Thrill" later the same year (and would later be disowned by Fagen and Becker themselves who, as of 2014, refuse to include it in any CD). He also played all of the first side of the band's fifth studio release "The Royal Scam" in April 1976, a few days before it came out.
