We're on the same page about all the music you mentioned.
I'm also a Steely Dan fan. Some of their lyrics are extremely cynical, bitter, jaded. Or just showing off that they're clever and obscure. I respect the craftsmanship but sometimes they go too far out that way for my taste. But their music and sound quality is always spectacular. And the lyrics do give you something to think about and a puzzle to solve. I really like the sci-fi metaphors of Fagan's solo album Kamakiriad. (Becker produced and played some killer bass grooves.)
It's probably not too late for you to learn a few basics on the keyboard. It's really useful to know.
I have a thread in the Law of One forum called "Understanding Carla's challenge," there was some good discussion in there.
