Helluva career. But...personally...I wouldn’t call Steely Dan a rock ‘n’ roll band.

Every Steely Dan record sounds like the last one...

“But...personally...I wouldn’t call Steely Dan a rock ‘n’ roll band.”

And I wouldn’t call Alabama the Crimson Tide.

Maybe not meaningful or relevant, but Jimmy Page’s favorite guitar solo of all time is on the Steely Dan track “Reelin’ in the Years”. I disagree with Sammy Hagar. There’s more than one way to rock.

I saw Steely Dan in concert after their first album came out back in the 70’s. Baxter was playing with them then. They had to pause the show when his guitar malfunctioned and shocked him on stage. They eventually came back and continued to gave a great show. They played a couple songs that would later appear in future albums.

Can’t Buy A Thrill is one of the best albums of all time.

They were really jazz musicians.
