Tip of the iceberg! "Kid Charlemagne", "Time Out of Mind", "FM", "Home at Last", "Glamour Profession", "King of the World", "Everything Must Go", "Green Earrings", "Sign in Stranger", "Black Cow", "Do It Again", "Cousin Dupree", "Two Against Nature", "Bad Sneakers", "Bodhissatva" to name but a few. Musicianship and production second to none....
Don't forget "West of Hollywood". The saxophone outro will actually transport you. It goes on forever, except when it stops and then you play it again. Never been anything close to it!
RIP Walter Becker. I got to see them about 30 years ago and there must have been25 people on the stage between musicians and backup singers. They were amazing.
This is music. We grew up when bands played their own instruments, wrote their own music, and could sing. Real musicians. Can't beat the 70s music. I think we were blessed to have that time in music history.
everything about Steely Dan say's, don't stop recording until it's perfect. Elements of old jazz, new jazz, motown, rock, reggae, blues it's all there. and you know exactly who it is when you hear it. I don't think todays listeners are conditioned to appreciate it like myself through the years, and you now. listen deeply like Pink Floyd or just groove to it and both ways you're feeling the same thing... dig it.
Zay, we LOVE your energy listening to Steely Dan! I honestly can say along with millions of other fans that they cannot write a bad song. Honestly, I tried to be critical but it's impossible. Even the songs that are by comparison "subpar", I end up really liking! To me and many, their albums produced almost annually between 1972 and 1980 are the best string of Rock/Jazz/Funk music ever produced. It never tires 5 decades later. Welcome to the Dandom.
Great reaction zay, that's how I feel with the dan, big fan from the beginning till now , 66 years on the planet ,can't imagine life without their music, RIP WALTER BECKER, checkout all their ALBUMS , you will not regret it , 🎵🎹🎸🎷🎺🎹🔊🔉
Absolutely the best band ever. Plain and simple, no question about it. I always liked Steely Dan from the beginning, but I came to appreciate them more in my thirties. Luckily, that appreciation has only grown in the past thirty years. You are in for a great treat if you dive into the Dan’s discography. Enjoy the ride. ✌🏼😎
Like you said. He can sing. He may not have the greatest voice but it’s perfect for his sardonic, dark lyrics. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were freaking geniuses
Zay, got a story for you. I don't know if you remember, but I was born in Buffalo, NY ( like you :) ). I know you said you were going to school in Syracuse. Well, when I was 20 ( in 1990 ) I was attending a school in Utica, NY, a bit past Syracuse on interstate 90. We used to come back to Buffalo every weekend, and go back to Utica early Monday morning. Like I said, I was 20, and my room mate was 19. I bought a Steely Dan greatest hits cassette tape and dude, we played that thing constantly on that 3 hour ride down the 90. We knew every word to every song. That's how I fell in love with Steely Dan. From there I expanded out, because there are so many great songs not on the greatest hits album. Top shelf band, top shelf cast of rotating musicians, top shelf lyrics, all carefully and masterfully engineered. They are in a league of their own.
You've just dipped into the tip of Dan. I can't wait to see your reaction to FM (No Static) and Black Cow! Steely Dan were two guys, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. Becker passed in 2017 but Fagen is still going and actually touring right now. Fagen has put out some incredible Steely Dan-like solo albums, so between the original Dan albums, and Fagen's solo efforts, there's plenty to enjoy. What you'll begin to notice is how many other artists have sampled The Dan on their own records. They are a true musician's band.
Quick fact.... you know that Steely Dan was Walter Becker and Donald Fagan....and studio musicians. One guitar player...Jeff "Skunk" Baxter went on to be a member of The Doobie Brothers. Look him up. He's another MONSTER player.
Zay, new subscriber here!!!! First, let me tell you that your entire groove is a WHOLE vibe!!!!! Thank you for the positive energy. I have been listening to SD since the 70s and I play them every day when I get home from work. I knew you'd love this one. If you have not reacted to "Third World Man," you HAVE TO!!!! The eerieness of the keys, guitars, lyrics, oh man!!!!! Sending you love from Portland, Oregon!!!!!
@@zayzel2670 Appreciate you as well. I just went through the Led Zeppelin reactions that you did!! You've also gotta react to The Ocean by LZ. CRAZY CRAZY DRUMS!!! 🥁🥁🎼🎵🎶🎧
I knew that was gonna hit ya right. So glad you love it. They can settle into the best grooves, heal ya soul, but they can also melt your face. "Don't Take Me Alive" or "Kid Charlemagne" will spin your head around. "Deacon Blues" will transport you. "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" will get stuck in your head. Sending love to you and Zel from NOLA. Keep sharing your love of music, and keep digging!
Hey Zay! Since I've mentioned the Steely Dan faves (so far as I'm concerned, at least), I'll change tack and mention a different band for you. When you get time, you should check out the Weather Report (yes, that's the band name). Try the track "Birdland", the first track off their 1977 release "Heavy Weather." It features one of the best bassists of all time, Jaco Pastorius, and, according to Pastorius, "Birdland" was so good, the take heard on the album was their first take.
Thanks for this one Zay! Haven’t heard this one in so so long, so I appreciate the reintroduction and the reminder of when I myself heard it for the first time! Great reaction as always!
Hey Zay, great to see you loving Steely Dan, these guys grew up with an intense adoration of r&b, jazz & soul music so they mixed that all with rock & pop & came up with their unique sound formula. They, Donald Fagan & Walter Becker were English majors at College which also gives you an appreciation for how they came up with such extraordinarily descriptive lyrics. As their career progressed & their compositions became more refined they were constantly drafting in different musicians depending on the specific requirements of each song, they were such perfectionists with incredible ear for detail which you can clearly hear in each song. Their discography is a goldmine which you have just discovered so enjoy digging for more gold. May I suggest a few personal favourites: "Aja", "Gaucho", "Black Cow", "Home at last", "Green Earings" & "Don't take me alive", have fun Buddy!
Hey Zay, this is what my kids use to call, Sunday morning music 🎶 🤗 l can tell you were going to really like them so happy that you do because they are another one of my favorites ✌
They are a big band. Two dudes who shared a vision of what music could be. They didn't care what genre', they used what was available, and hired guys that could do it. They had the writing and arranging skills down pat. They were relentless in the studio to capture what they had in their head, so it could be presented to people. Uncompromising, artistic, musicians. They could rock, they could jazz, they could funk, they could soul, they could shuffle, they could blues. It didn't matter, they could pull it off.
He is a great vocalist. Not a powerful voice, doesn't do a lot of crazy stuff, but very distinctive, classy, and definitely fits the music. Love the background singers on this one. Check out Black Friday for a whole different vibe. Love the Dan. Thought I'd get tired of listening to them over the years, but it's not gonna happen. Since I don't have satellite radio, I always have a Steely Dan cd stashed in my car.
Seen them live 19 times since 1994 and it just keeps getting better. 13 players on stage, and possibly the tightest horn section in the business. Last concert was 3rd row right center 7/3/22 at Bethel Woods NY, famous for the 1969 Woodstock concert. Next up Black Cow and Glamour Profession.
Donald & Walter always had the finest studio musicians on their albums. Especially drummers and guitarists. Kid Charlemagne and My Old School (Larry Carlton) have superb guitar solos. By the way, Steely Dan is the name of a strap on sex toy…”So fine, so young…tell me I’m the only one”.
Great song!!! Great Band!!! Eveberry song they compose is great!!! Remember I request that you react to "FM(No Static At All)" by Steely Dan!!! It is Fire Bro!!!!
This Gaucho album was one they did to fulfill a contract with their record company after a rancorous breakup. This is what they sound like when they are doing music out of spite. They just can't do bad music even when they try.
Keep on sticking that pin in the discography cos you won’t find a miss anywhere. Oh and don’t miss out on the 2 albums from the 2000s cos they still had it.
You are so right. Steely Dan, with music written by Donald Fagen (who is also the lead singer that you love so much), lyrics by the sadly departed Walter Becker, with Producer Gary Katz and some of the finest session musicians in the business, were master song craftsmen. Others have suggested the song "Kid Charlemagne" and I very much agree. It's a song about a drug dealer who sold a drug that nobody wants anymore. It also contains one of the greatest guitar solos that you'll ever hear. I heartily endorse your deep dive into The Dan, and I hope you'll continue it. But continue to keep filed away in the back of your mind that the wondrous music of King Crimson awaits you.
So many great hits! I adore Steely Dan and it reminds me so much of growing up Reno, NV & casinos. Recommend anything from them. My Old School, Do it Again, Dirty Work, Bodhisattva, Kid Charlemagne, FM, Deacon Blues and so many more
You are loving it and we are with you!! Steely Dan is FAT!! You are going down a deep, deep rabbit hole, my friend! Woo! Your musical appreciation IQ is going to soar!
Steely Dan is totally underrated. If you love them, don't forget to try some of Donald Fagen's solo stuff. If you never heard it, download the "Nightfly" album. Similar style and just as good.
Donald Fagen was always a bit insecure about his singing voice, so on the Dan's first album they had another vocalist sharing singing duties with him, but eventually Don and songwriting partner Walter Becker decided that Fagen needed to be the Dan's only vocalist because he could give their songs the style of blues/R&B/jazz - inflected vocals they wanted. He does not have a traditional pop/rock singing voice, but that actually kind of made him stand out in my mind when they started hitting the airwaves in the 1970s - and his phrasing and timing are absolutely impeccable.
They are super fine masters of the groove..... loving your reactions, keep them coming, there's so many amazing tracks, they don't miss..."Home at Last" is an awesome groove if you can... thanks.
Fantastic! Deep, deep rabbit hole! All songs are amazing! Try 'Do It Again' next and then 'Aja' and then 'Home at Last'! You can't go wrong with any Steely Dan song!!!
Next suggestion? Maybe "FM (No Static at All) or their very first hit, "Do It Again". Do both, you won't be disappointed. Guaranteed and vetted by millions of fans.
Zay you should do a double whammy reaction to Your Gold Teeth and Your Gold Teeth II. These two songs show both sides of Steely Dan in the best possible light.
We were blown away by this in ‘80- and remained that way! Great song about a dude planning to spend the night with a couple of young hookers. The songs are like mini- novellas to me.
There are so many great Steely Dan songs. Deacon Blues and Hey Nineteen are two more that haven't been mentioned. There's also Dirty Work from the Can't Buy a Thrill album. It's the one hit song sung by David Palmer and not Donald Fagan.
No doubt my lifelong favorite band Steely Dan. Two guitar charged songs off album Royal Scam: Kid Charlemgne - th-cam.com/video/jJ9Xk-VoGqo/w-d-xo.html and Don't Take Me Alive - th-cam.com/video/9MUOi2ehuvs/w-d-xo.html
Deacon Blues or AJ A. Or Black CowBTW , Jon Herrington their guitarist for 25 years has a solo cd titled “Adult Entertainment “ very cool . Checkout Mind over matter or Crazy Good . Also SD ‘ s cd “Two Against Nature”
Yes, a most enjoyable band with a smooth, jazz sound, also considered "Prog. Rock" I believe. But they can rock out at the same time. Get's you locked in like the other great bands. Do the whole discography, you won't be disappointed.
Tip of the iceberg! "Kid Charlemagne", "Time Out of Mind", "FM", "Home at Last", "Glamour Profession", "King of the World", "Everything Must Go", "Green Earrings", "Sign in Stranger", "Black Cow", "Do It Again", "Cousin Dupree", "Two Against Nature", "Bad Sneakers", "Bodhissatva" to name but a few. Musicianship and production second to none....
Deacon Blues also!!
My Old School
Hey Nineteen
Rikki Don't lose that number
Dirty Work
...and Dirty Work 👈😀
Don't forget "West of Hollywood". The saxophone outro will actually transport you. It goes on forever, except when it stops and then you play it again. Never been anything close to it!
I've been fully engaged with Steely Dan for 50 years. Glad to see they are still relevant to a new generation.
you’ve got to shake it baby you’ve got to shake it baby you’ve got to shake it! I wait for that every time.
RIP Walter Becker. I got to see them about 30 years ago and there must have been25 people on the stage between musicians and backup singers. They were amazing.
Steely Dan is just so.....SMOOOOOOTH.
This is music. We grew up when bands played their own instruments, wrote their own music, and could sing. Real musicians. Can't beat the 70s music. I think we were blessed to have that time in music history.
Steely Dan is high fidelity, composed masterpieces. Incredible music
Steely Dan are the groove Masters
“The Dan” always sets the hook, then reels you in. 😂Keep it going my man. Shoutout to Zel.😎🤘
everything about Steely Dan say's, don't stop recording until it's perfect. Elements of old jazz, new jazz, motown, rock, reggae, blues it's all there. and you know exactly who it is when you hear it.

One more vote for Gaucho, one of the craziest stories and just a musical tour de force. It’s like Lou Reed wrote a smooth jazz song lol
I’m so glad you’re digging Steely Dan! They are without a doubt one of the coolest bands ever, plus, they sound exactly the same in concert!
Zay, we LOVE your energy listening to Steely Dan! I honestly can say along with millions of other fans that they cannot write a bad song. Honestly, I tried to be critical but it's impossible.

Yay Zay! You got me! Love you! I lived in San Francisco so that's why this is my jam! 50 years I have LOVED this band!
Great reaction zay, that's how I feel with the dan, big fan from the beginning till now , 66 years on the planet ,can't imagine life without their music, RIP WALTER BECKER, checkout all their ALBUMS , you will not regret it , 🎵🎹🎸🎷🎺🎹🔊🔉
Back in the day, I wanted to be Patti Austin. Not for her solo work, but to be a background vocalist for Steely Dan. 🥰
Same!!
Wait ya'll,
I just got some Samsung ear buds and can actually hear HER voice in the background vocals. 😳
Absolutely the best band ever. Plain and simple, no question about it. I always liked Steely Dan from the beginning, but I came to appreciate them more in my thirties. Luckily, that appreciation has only grown in the past thirty years. You are in for a great treat if you dive into the Dan’s discography. Enjoy the ride.

I saw them right before Becker passed at the Hollywood Bowl and what a great show, they started off with "Green Earrings "🤟
@@emilymartinez6961 I got a chance to see them live once as well, such a great show!
@@ohfour-seven6228, well make that twice for me
@@emilymartinez6961 😃
Dude your souls lives back in the day! That’s grown man music...keep the Dan up! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
More Steely Dan....Zay...you are being BAPTIZED.
I’m in love Joe!!
Pull up "Finding My Way" off RUSH's first album. Learned that last night. One baddassed guitar riff!!!
Quick fact.... you know that Steely Dan was Walter Becker and Donald Fagan....and studio musicians. One guitar player...Jeff "Skunk" Baxter went on to be a member of The Doobie Brothers. Look him up. He's another MONSTER player.

Their production quality is timeless
You have to do Kid Charlamane next! Or Black Cow. It’s so freaking excellent
Listen to DO IT AGAIN
It was not that long ago that you were loving Zeppelin. I would be willing to bet we all here love Steely Dan.
I have been listening to them since before you were born---and I have never grown tired of them.
I knew that was gonna hit ya right. So glad you love it. They can settle into the best grooves, heal ya soul, but they can also melt your face.
"Don't Take Me Alive" or "Kid Charlemagne" will spin your head around. "Deacon Blues" will transport you. "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" will get stuck in your head.
Sending love to you and Zel from NOLA. Keep sharing your love of music, and keep digging!
I absolutely LOVE Larry Carlton's solo in "Don't Take Me Alive" and I argue that it's better than his solos in "Kid Charlemagne".

The title track "Aja" is the capstone on the pyramid of Steely Dan's career catalogue of music. Unsurpassed, classy and timeless!
They were great live. I'm on the back of the Alive in America CD.
Seen them live 19 times since 1994 and it just keeps getting better. 13 players on stage, and possibly the tightest horn section in the business. Last concert was 3rd row right center 7/3/22 at Bethel Woods NY, famous for the 1969 Woodstock concert. Next up Black Cow and Glamour Profession.
Yes! Submit to the Dan! You are now ONE OF US! You can never turn back....
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but all I have to say is Home at Last is a must. You will love it.
There's no shortage of great steely dan songs

Another of my favorite bands, we definitely were so lucky back in the day, to band todays music won’t learn from greats.
World class, describes them in a nutshell.
knew those joints when they was new Bro, vinyl no previews, pure joy of discovery!
Know just how you feel. The Dan's will do that to you every time. ❤
Sadly one half of the core of Steely Dan, Walter Becker died in 2017. This was a fantastic band

"It hits different." Bro said it best here!
You felt them and you're definitely not alone in loving Steely Dan.
So many great hits! I adore Steely Dan and it reminds me so much of growing up Reno, NV & casinos. Recommend anything from them. My Old School, Do it Again, Dirty Work, Bodhisattva, Kid Charlemagne, FM, Deacon Blues and so many more
Bernard Purdie doing his famous shuffle on drums!👍🏼🎶😎
Yes indeed!
You are loving it and we are with you!! Steely Dan is FAT!! You are going down a deep, deep rabbit hole, my friend! Woo! Your musical appreciation IQ is going to soar!
Steely Dan is totally underrated. If you love them, don't forget to try some of Donald Fagen's solo stuff. If you never heard it, download the "Nightfly" album. Similar style and just as good.
Anything by Donald Fagen off The Nightfly is incredible too. He’s the one you hear singing - the composer.
When asked, who are your favorite bands? I say, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Steely Dan without hesitation!
That’s an amazing top 3!! I might be following behind you once I’m done listening
Dirty Work, Gaucho, My Rival, Pretzel Logic, The Fez, Any Major Dude, Third World Man, Hatian Divorce, Katie Lied, The Caves Of Altamira, so many more
Saw them live a Few times back in the day. Quite an experience to say the least.
They are my favorite of all time. Keep going
Donald Fagen was always a bit insecure about his singing voice, so on the Dan's first album they had another vocalist sharing singing duties with him, but eventually Don and songwriting partner Walter Becker decided that Fagen needed to be the Dan's only vocalist because he could give their songs the style of blues/R&B/jazz - inflected vocals they wanted. He does not have a traditional pop/rock singing voice, but that actually kind of made him stand out in my mind when they started hitting the airwaves in the 1970s - and his phrasing and timing are absolutely impeccable.
I got to see them back in 2012. I have been to probably 50 shows, and nothing came close to them.
Can't wait for you to hear 'Reelin in the Years'!
They are super fine masters of the groove..... loving your reactions, keep them coming, there's so many amazing tracks, they don't miss..."Home at Last" is an awesome groove if you can... thanks.
Fantastic! Deep, deep rabbit hole! All songs are amazing! Try 'Do It Again' next and then 'Aja' and then 'Home at Last'! You can't go wrong with any Steely Dan song!!!
one of my favorite Dan songs
All I can add to the superlatives here is that SD will never let you down.
Next suggestion? Maybe "FM (No Static at All) or their very first hit, "Do It Again". Do both, you won't be disappointed. Guaranteed and vetted by millions of fans.
You should do two SD songs a night. It would still keep you busy for quite a while.
So fine, so young🎶, Soo Smooth!!!
Steely Dan is the Smoothest!!!👍👌✌😁
Zay you should do a double whammy reaction to Your Gold Teeth and Your Gold Teeth II. These two songs show both sides of Steely Dan in the best possible light.
Fan for 42 years
Pure class 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Put this whole album on and enjoy a rainy Sunday or a long drive
We were blown away by this in ‘80- and remained that way! Great song about a dude planning to spend the night with a couple of young hookers. The songs are like mini- novellas to me.
Steely Dan is touring right now. check their website for dates.
Love your reactions Bro
Rikki Don’t Lose That Number!
PEG!
You've heard some good Steely Dan songs but I don't think you have heard any of my top 10 yet that's how great their catalog is .
Excellent nothing like it appeals to all ages
Right on! Keep it up!
Like a Sunday in TJ, that it’s cheap but it’s not free. Anyone been to Tijuana to understand this lyric?
My favourite Steely Dan Track from "Gaucho"
Keep
Going
Love Steely Dan
There are so many great Steely Dan songs. Deacon Blues and Hey Nineteen are two more that haven't been mentioned. There's also Dirty Work from the Can't Buy a Thrill album. It's the one hit song sung by David Palmer and not Donald Fagan.
You"ll enjoy FM (No static at All ) too.
Oh, yeah... the transformation is beginning...............
Caves of Altamira is a must do
No doubt my lifelong favorite band Steely Dan. Two guitar charged songs off album Royal Scam: Kid Charlemgne - th-cam.com/video/jJ9Xk-VoGqo/w-d-xo.html and Don't Take Me Alive - th-cam.com/video/9MUOi2ehuvs/w-d-xo.html
Steely Dan = Jazz, Soul, Rock
Love all SD. But, Royal Scam, Katy Lied, Aja, albums. As a teenage drummer back then, all the legend studio cats show us how it's done.
Deacon Blues or AJ A. Or Black CowBTW , Jon Herrington their guitarist for 25 years has a solo cd titled “Adult Entertainment “ very cool . Checkout Mind over matter or Crazy Good . Also SD ‘ s cd “Two Against Nature”
The therm is being "Lost in the Sauce" .Try Hall & Oats next.First try "Maneater"
.Also Tray Brooks and Dunn "I Believe"
Yeah, there's 2 songs that a MUST Brother ... 1st- FM
2- Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Both SLAM!🤫🧨💥💯😉
Try some Donald Fagen solo like IGY. I'm sure you'll like as well or even NY Rock and Soul Revue
Katy Lied...deep dive by the Dan.
You will like Black Cow.... Hey Nineteen, ......you got to shake baby, you got to shake shake it...
Yes, a most enjoyable band with a smooth, jazz sound, also considered "Prog. Rock" I believe. But they can rock out at the same time. Get's you locked in like the other great bands. Do the whole discography, you won't be disappointed.
The Dan is music for musicians. Enjoy
