Good times.
Been a Dan fan as far back as I can remember.
The music spoke to me even as a kid.
Lol and ironically true.
Great post!
One of the greatest debut albums ever, so many good songs on that one, obviously everybody knows “Do It Again” and “Reelin’ in the Years”
But there’s also: Dirty Work, Midnite Cruiser, Turn That Heartbeat Over Again, Kings....not a dud on the whole album.
Saw Steely Dan just about a year ago, well the members that are still around anyway. Nice show. If I recall they were touring with the doobie brothers. I didnt follow SD when I was young, but I heard their songs on the radio. I enjoy the hits more today than back then.
That was Countdown to Ecstasy the next album.
I love this song. I remember listening to this on am radio when I was rolling newspapers early in the morning for delivery as a paper boy when I was probably 13 or 14. One of those that has stood the test of time. Brings back a lot of memories now that the song rings true!
Go back, Jack, do it again.
Dink scotch whiskey all night long...and die behind the wheel...
My favorites are this one, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Aja, and FM.
Fagan/Becker
McCartney/Lennon
There is a parallel there that others more adept in expression could flesh out beyond the symbiosis.
Royal Scam is right up there, too. Whew!
Katy Lied
Countdown to Ecstasy
Royal Scam
Cant Buy a Thrill
Aja
Pretzel Logic
