The most boring music in the world recorded to perfection.

I thought Steely Dan was mostly a studio band and didn’t do touring?

“One of the most intellectual of all rock bands.”
Now, what does that name Steely Dan refer to again?

“My Old School”…
Guitar 101… Great riffing throughout.
“Kid Charlemagne”…. “Don’t Take Me Alive”… just wow.
They put out some amazing stuff.

Great debut album. So a few years ago, I went to see them in concert and they did only their later jazz stuff. No “Reelin.” No “Do it again,” No “Rikki,” No “My old school.” Horrible freaking concert.

Haven’t heard that song in 30 years. That was an album cover you just had to have to be even remotely cool. Along with “Sticky Fingers” and all Led Zeppelin 1-4 albums.

Yeah, I don’t hate them. But they are annoying because I was trapped in the family station wagon with simulated wood door panels for much of the 70s as a kid...and it seemed all that was playing on the AM radio was Steely Dan or Chicago on a loop.

“My Old School”...”Hey,19”...classics! And as for John Lennon being ridiculed...he was known to dish it out too. “And Your Bird Can Sing” being one example.
To: Jonty30
Yes and no. The did tour early on but finally quit due to Donald Fagen’s panic disorder.................

And the Eagles put them in Hotel California because Steely Dan had referenced them in a previous song.
To: Luke21
Yeah, I definitely prefer the pre-Aja stuff, although I certainly do like Aja.
But I miss Skunk Baxter’s guitar work, and the more rock-ish sounding stuff.

LOL, I don’t think you’ll hear “Haitian Divorce” on the radio anymore.

Steely Dan had some great deep cuts though. I can skip the ‘hits’ and mostly enjoy the rest of the songs.

Never knew this was about Lennon. Makes sense. Thanks for posting this. Btw, Steely Dan is top shelf in my book.
