Steely Dan Band • Page 2

Listened to Aja for the first time today. I feel as if my life has been changed.

 

THEY CALL ALABAMA THE CRIMSON TIDE

CALL ME DEACON BLUES

 

welp, after 28 years 8 months and 13 days, i'm finally there. the day everyone said would come. i now understand steely dan is the best band to have ever existed.

 

yeah

 

I know I'm like 40 years late on this band but god damn is FM a jam

 

The best studio production in rock. Fight me.

 

I didn’t know “Reelin’ in the Years” was them until a few months ago

Aja rocks

 

Petition to change the thread title to “Steely Fans”

Also, Katy Lied is awesome and mayyyybe my favorite album of theirs. If anyone here hasn’t gotten to that one yet, please prioritize.

 

Was just listening last night actually. Porcaro's work on that record is everything I love about him as a drummer

 

Only ones I haven’t heard are The Royal Scam and the comeback records. Should get to them

 

Royal Scam is front to back bangers.

 

Good day to listen to Katy Lied

 

can't stop thinking about the chord in the caves of altamira hook on "theeeeeey heard the call"

 

Gaucho is highly underrated. Fight me.

 

It's all incredible and every day I grow more in awe

 

It’s my favorite now

Two Against Nature has grown on me a lot over the years as well

 

on repeat

 

man I love that intro guitar

 

RIP Becker

 

I listened to Kamikiriad for the first time the other day, it’s very good

 

Glad you enjoyed! Truly great album and a cool concept it explores.

My dad played Kamikiriad a TON during my childhood, to the point where I still know almost every word.

 

One of the best to ever do it

 

Wow okay, I'm not that surprised that there is a thread for Steely Dan, but I am surprised to see it as active as earlier this month.

I've been exploring their catalog a lot the past few months but have mainly been stuck on The Royal Scam and Aja. Any recs on where to go from here? I have so many core memories from when I was real young of my dad playing his Can't Buy a Thrill cd in the truck, so I've always had a strong nostalgic pull to that whole album.

 

Shhhh - don't tell Steve Albini about this thread!

 

Listen to Katy Lied and Gaucho, and then Donald's The Nightfly. The Nightfly is one of the greatest anti depression albums for me lol
