How many steely dan fans?

Post Reply New Topic

How many are there here really I think there are at least a few. I like them a lot. I can't seem to stop liking there music and keep relating things to there lyrics.

I could jump up and hug you right now. At least if you were near me.

Steely Dan is my favorite band ever. I love every song I've heard from them, though my favorites are Peg, Glamour Profession, Almost Gothic, Time out of Mind (oddly they play that song at work, not knowing that it's about a father and son doing heroin!), Negative Girl, Everything You Did, and Caves of Altamira.

Steely Dan is one of those bands that when I like them, I really like them, and when I don't, I really don't. They have some great moments, like Bodhisattva, Peg, and a few others. Fagan's Nightfly album is the same way - some of the songs like IGY, Ruby, etc are great, and others don't do much for me.

Fagan's new solo album just came out. It's sort of him to the Nth degree, honing his style to about as far as it will go.

Yaay! One of the few bands my husband and I both like.

They play Seattle every summer but I always miss them because I'm alone. Yeah, I've seen concerts by myself before (Kiss, Journey, The Plasmatics) but that gets worn out after a while. Maybe next year I'll check them out. I should. They're just about one of my favourite groups.

i like their famous song and listened to it few weeks ago. since then the video became not available in my country

Been a fan for years and I've seen them live. Keith Carlock is by far the best drummer I've ever heard, absolutely perfect rhythm and groove.

Steely Dan? Nah, never heard of 'em...

I'm down with Steely Dan although I'm not all that well versed.

The Aja album is fire, maybe in my top 10 ever, but I can't speak specifically beyond that.

If I were to do a historical "coulda shoulda woulda" on all that I missed prior to being born, smoking a bomber so monsterous it had to be rolled in a newspaper page in the late 70s at a steely dan concert would be in the second tier.

i long admired roger nichols' impeccable audio engineering on the first 10 years' incarnation of steely dan.

Did you know the band Steely Dan had gotten their name out of a work of fiction by William S. Burroughs, in which Steely Dan was the name of a dildo?

Yes. I want Naked lunch now to read it. I can't really think of a bad steely dan song.

yup. another steely fan!

Absolutely - a Steely Dan fan.

They reformed ( actually Becker and Fagan got together and formed a new incarnation of the band around them) a few years ago- and put out two new albums for the 21st centurey- after the long haitus.

The first of the two albums had one killer tract ( Cousin Dupree), but the second is all cool.

Didnt know about that song about the father and son bonding over heroin use.

Many of their songs are darkly funny but you have to really listen to the lyrics. Like "dont take me alive".

Oh I do know about the new albums. Now I am ending up listening to them agian.

in every high-fidelity high-end audio boutique i've ever visited, they always had their albums as demo material for the audio equipment for sale. RIP roger nichols and his audio brainpower.
