Great timing, been listening to their first five albums relentlessly for the past week.
>that Dylan imitation on Barrytown
>baaad sneakers and a piiina coladamyfriend
>spending four minutes of Show Biz Kids anticipating the bit Super Furry Animals sampled
>everything about Charlie Freak and Rose Darling
Still haven't sat down and listen to Aja though, kind of saving it for when I'm in the mood.
"Sardonic Los Angeles transplants from the '60s/'70s with non-rock backgrounds" is an all-time great microgenre imo
Warren Zevon, Randy Newman, the Dan guys, Van Dyke Parks, Joni Mitchell, etc.
I've never heard of the show biz kids super furry animals thing what are you referring to?
Also I agree with you about all the other stuff, especially Rose Darling and Charlie Freak.
I've only listened to Aja and Gaucho, should i give the others an try?
yes.
Absolutely
listen to this right now.
DID YA FEEEEEEEL LIKE JESUS?
They had a song where the hook is just a loop of "They don't give a fuck about anybody else"
youtube.com
Fagen was pissed off and ended up demanding 95% of the track's proceeds for them to use it
I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh nice. I like this song.
I wonder how Fagen even ended up hearing about it.
Wasn't Fagen quoted saying this was one of the worst album covers of the 70's?
I'M A BOOKEEPERS SON I DON'T WANNA SHOOT NO ONE
Yes, but iirc he correctly recognised that the Can't Buy A Thrill cover is even worse
Indeed. When it comes to album artwork Steely Dan obviously didn't really give a shit (same thing with the name) but there music is immaculate so it doesn't matter honestly.
Lol yeah that's a horrid album cover.
Its a GOAT album though.
Literally only track I know by them is Riki don't lose that number. Where do I start?
If you want more rock sounding stuff do Countdown to Ecstacy and if you want to start with their more jazzy stuff I'd recommend Aja. Katy lied is sort of right in between those two spectrums (my personal favorite).
Neat, thanks.
in the linear notes of the remastered RS CD i believe this happens . when i was just getting into the dan the RS album art honestly put me off to the album when i was still in my aja lane but it quickly became a favorite and now i love the album art.
AND THEY WANDERED IN
FROM THE CITY OF ST. JOHN
WITHOUT A DIME

You literally share all the same favorites from each as me except for countdown and can't buy a thrill. I would say Boston Rag and Do it Again for those.
We have the same favorites for Aja, Gacho, and Countdown to Ecstacy. My favorite for Can't Buy a Thrill is probably Brooklyn or Do It Again.
cant buy a thrill is still my favourite
WEARING COATS THAT SHINED BOTH RED AND GREEN FROM THEIR SUNNY ISLAND
great taste senpai. a few of them were tough to choose but honestly each of those albums have multiple songs id feel comfortable listing as a favorite.
SEE THE GLORRRRRRY (SEE THE GLORY)
OF THE ROYAL SCAM
(nice trips)
Undying love for Walter and Donald
Do yourselves a favour and buy/download the music. Fixed 128kbps YouTube bitrate isn't the way to listen to Steely Dan
Gonna listen to the 2000s material tomorrow, I love their discography
THE CUERVO OLD...THE FINE COLOMBIAN..
Best Steely Dan album
Fagen's individual work is just as good, and sometimes surpasses his stuff in steely dan
So is it true that Donald Fagen and his wife flew to the island of Hispanola for a Haitian Divorce?
Been listening to Aja a lot lately, but Steely Dan never put out a bad record as far as I'm concerned.
>So is it true that Donald Fagen and his wife flew to the island of Hispanola for a Haitian Divorce?
funny. I love SD but always feel that I am listening to a conversation between 2 other people...the lyrics always seem so intimate and personal - like I shouldnt be listening...
They got the idea for "hatian divorce from one of their studio musicians. I don't think Fagen and one his wives got a hatian divorce, correct me if I'm wrong.
