Can we get a Steely Dan thread going? Easily one of the most beautiful bands ever recorded, and their mentality fits that of Sup Forums

What is there to say about Steely Dan though? My pop never listened to them so I had to discover Pretzel Logic and Gaucho myself, and besides the cheeky lyrics about getting drunk on fancy-pants booze, idk what else there is to say since most of their appeal (at least for me) comes from their raw musical talent and songwriting ability.
Austin Allen
Way too fucking polished, it does not age well at all, they made some of the worst pop music of all time
Yeah there's some songs that happened to be great but any band that puts out enough stuff can accomplish that, their great stuff couldn't even fill a mini LP
Ian Long
Literally all their albums up to Gaucho are at minimum a 9/10.
Joseph Sanders
What’s your favorite song by them? Favorite solo or cool chords and harmonies in their songs
See the only problem with it being way too polished, imo, is that it’s so easy to do that nowadays with Protools and all the DAWS out there. Have you ever heard Royal Scam? I think that’s such an amazing album and it’s not as poppy as Aja but has some lines that really work their way into your head. Don’t take me alive is probably the best example of that
Tyler Kelly
where my gaucho bros at? it has grown on me so much, it might low key be their best record
Henry Butler
For the record I've listened to all their albums up to and including Two Against Nature so I'm not complaining about them from a perspective of not giving them a chance, I recognize some people like polish regardless of what's underneath it (which is why something like The Dark Side of the Moon can sell any copies at all and be called progressive rock) but for me it's a huge turn-off
Julian Thompson
That’s fair, everyone’s got a different taste
I like guacho, the first track to grow on me was time out of mind which I’d only listen to on opiates lol
Josiah Gutierrez
Pretzel Logic is probably my favorite. They're all pretty great though. I use to hate them for being overly polished pop music also but once I actually got around to listening to them it's hard to enjoy their stuff.
Luke Watson
gaucho is their best album though
Sebastian Bennett
I should have said through Gaucho. I meant to include it.
Luke Richardson
>releases the most generic rock album of the 70's
heh nothing personnel kid
Chase Diaz
Oh man I love Steely & Dan
Aiden Anderson
I need to know what Sup Forums thinks of this

Heard my girl listening to it the other day and singing at the top of her lungs. I'm not gonna lie it's my favorite cover right now
Nicholas Campbell
Not that great honestly.
Liam Garcia

Radiohead would be an example of what you are talking about but you are honestly retarded if you think the production values are the only reason why TDSOTM was such a successful album.
Logan Sanchez
Top 5 songs OP?
Kid Charlemagne
Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Josie
Your Gold Teeth
Reelin in the Years
Leo Murphy
Not Op, but still.
Sign in Stranger
Your Gold Teeth II
Black Cow
Dirty Work
Bad Sneakers
Picking a top 5 is so hard. I could probably pick like 10 other groups of their songs that I like equally as much.
Carson Robinson
They never really stuck with me
Lincoln Anderson
OP here, it's hard because I love a lot of it but maybe
Deacon Blues
Josey
Peg
Do It Again
Don't Take Me Alive
When I was 12-14 my buddies and I would prank this gay hotline and the waiting music included Josie and Deacon Blues so I have a lot of nostalgia for those two
