Memes. For metal music.

Steely Dan isn't a person, it's two main artists and a bunch of other session musicians. The band's name came from a steam-powered dildo named Steely Dan in a book from the early 60's I believe.

They made some fucking amazing music!

It's from Naked Lunch, and it's a dildo so strong it could survive even the strongest lesbian's vagina.

Fair. I do the same with Tom Petty, even though I mean Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

I definitely thought Steely Dan was a person when I was younger. Also I wanted an excuse to share the dildo story.

Pink Floyd also could be a person's name. In fact one of their songs even references a record exec mistaking the band's name for a person with the lyrics "Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

Jethro Tull was a guy, see Episode 6 of Yacht Rock for details!

That really might be one of their best skits ever and it's such a deep burn.
