Aja is one of the top rock albums ever recorded.
"Classic Albums is a documentary style television program that does a fantastic job of showing how some of the best albums in modern music history were produced. If you like the different aspects of record making this program is a great example of the complexities that go into the project. It's frank & forthright nature offer a view into the artist's mind that I've not seen before. Great musicians, great engineers: Classic Albums. -R"
Whatever happened to Steely Dan?
They are on the casino circuit with the rest of the washed up bands.
Great musicians, but that’s no guarantee of anything in the music biz.
I think the people down the hall know who you are.
Nope. Not that I remember.
Steely Dan “Aja” was the “euchre album” while I was in college, although I thought “Countdown to Ecstasy” was overall their best album.
bttt
I think they do an annual multi-night run at the Beacon in NYC. I saw them a couple of years ago there...........amazing....
I’ve loved Steely Dan in the past and still do, but tend to sidestep listening to their more popular work due to my being a little overexposed.
Pretzel Logic is their best album, in my opinion. Some very interesting, relatively obscure songs. “Through With Buzz,” “Monkey In Your Soul,” etc.
Saw Steely Dan live at Red Rocks last year. They’ve always been my absolute favorite but I’d never seen them live. It poured freezing rain the entire time. It was awesome.
Bump for later as my cat has decided she needs attention NOW.
I’m a huge Steely Dan fan and as an audiophile I am always discovering new nuances in the tracks.
My lawyer was a roadie for them and knew Ken Owsly, not kidding.
and its comming
Their Left-Wing hooey really stinks up the place.
