KING of the WORLD AKA: END OF THE WORLD.... A song about the LA Area after a Nuclear War. "No Marigolds in the Promised Land... there is a hole in the ground where they used to grow...!
One of the best anti-nuclear protest songs ever written...so evocative, it puts you hunched over that ham radio, searching, right along with the character...chilling!
Man...I was 13 in 1970 and thought I was alone that this song is f*cking phenominal. The guitar noodling thru most of the song!? love this track Any Major Dude is another fav. The 70s were unrivaled in music diversity. SD raised the bar.
This is one of the buried gems of Steely Dan. Jim Hodder's drumming on this is sublime and so are the various lines by Jeff Baxter and , I'm pretty sure it's Denny Dias on the git solo.
I watched this a couple of times - it's highly pleasurable watching the pair of you digging it; I defy you to find a song you won't like. This one is just as great as all the others. The ONE thing is that NONE of their songs sound the same, yet you still know virtually instantly it's them. Don Fagen is a brilliant vocalist (instant clue) but I think you would still know. I hadn't heard this for 6 months, It might make my personal top 20 Steely; if it's someone's favourite I'd be sympathetic.
First time I saw them was in 1974 (mighta been earlier, can’t be sure). Had no idea who or what Steely Dan was. I remember standing before them, amazed and astonished. These were some bad ass mutha fuckas! ❤
This album is SD's forgotten masterpiece...one pristine masterpiece after another on this album. Keep staying with it, " The Boston Rag " is especially tasty
Love your Streely Dan reactions. "Chain Lightning" should be played at some point. One of my favorite bands. Thanks for the entertainment...love watching your content ❤ #1
And if you do react, I'll tell you what Chain Lighting is about. It's classic Steely: talking indirectly about some unknown event, but once you know, it makes perfect sense.
You asked what else can we listen to? Two Against Nature Grammy Award winner of 2000. Start with Jack of Speed and then West of Hollywood. Simply Great!
Regarding Steely Dan's jazz interests - there used to be an NPR (radio) program hosted by well known senior jazz pianist Marian McPartland, and there is an episode with Fagen and Becker as guests (still on TH-cam). There are alternating segments of conversation about jazz with Fagen, and music, both S.Dan (with Becker and bass and drums) and jazz. Fagen plays some Duke Ellington and jams with McPartland. She had tons of great jazz pianists on her show.
Thanks for a great start to the weekend. You can not go wrong with any Steely Dan. Have a great weekend my friends. Excellent reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
Post-apocalypse, sci-fi theme, as Fagen reaches out for signs of humanity "on this old ham radio". Upbeat & jazzy, juxtaposed against a bleak hell-scape - vintage Steely Dan. The execution and musicianship is top-notch as usual, featuring Denny Dias on guitar. When I think about the subject matter, I imagine the repetitive synth as an air raid siren. One of my top 10 SD cuts.
Airplay Beats - Kings Of The Reaction Videos - I enjoy how you paint a picture with your commentary that brings new insight to the songs. Your hard work and knowledge are greatly appreciated.
You're going to come across this again and again. Fagan and Becker were listening to late night FM when they were young and they got hit with Wes Montgomery and it so reflects in what they put out. Listen to that guitar light up the night! You haven't even heard "The Boston Rag" or "Razor Boy" yet. You're in for it. Countdown, The Scam and Gaucho are my favorite Dan albums. Of course that was until Nature came out. There is nothing, nor will there ever be, anything so close to insanely filthy as "West of Hollywood"!
Thanks for your reactions, very enjoyable. Steely will be opening for the Eagles at the Forum. I hope you will be able to go see them. That is a true Steely Dan experience. Also look out for their Hollywood Bowl performances, always a sellout, always a trip!
They have used apocalyptic themes in other songs, too. In fact, one of the most upbeat songs they ever did was The Last Mall on their last album, Everything Must Go. Fagen gleefully sings about a family's last shopping trip before the world ends. Please do every song from Countdown to Ecstasy and hit some nuggets from their last two albums like Jack of Speed, Janie Runaway, Cousin Dupree, What a Shame About Me, Everything Must Go, Things I Miss the Most, Godwhacker, etc.
Some people dismiss the latter two albums, but Jack of Speed, Godwhacker, west of Hollywood are great. The albums are more jazz/blues than the first seven, but that’s their evolution.
Another great SD reaction from the pros! Jazz - yes, Fagen & Becker are both *huge* Jazz fans and they've always said that their aim was to combine their favorite elements from Jazz with Rock & R&B. This track in particular featured the incredible guitar playing of Denny Dias who studied with BeBop masters
Great reaction! In case you missed it, it's about life after a nuclear war -depressing lyrics set to a happy tune, a Steely Dan speciality. You guys need to listen to " The Boston Rag".
On Countdown to Ecstasy - there is Razor Boy, which is Latin Jazz...and Boston Rag which is more of a jazz rock fusion. Both are killers. The catalog goes hard and deep. So much great stuff left.
Please don't miss Your Gold Teeth from this album. It's a really smart and cool song, about a female grifter who has worn out her welcome. Great reaction as always--your SD reactions are favorites of mine since you started.
It's good to be king and even gooder to be a diehard Steely Dan fan to the core. I see so much disappointment outside my front door, but the Dan never lets me down. God rest your soul Walter and bless you Donald.
I bought the Citizen Steely Dan box set when it came out and I listened to it from beginning to end. 66 songs and I liked them all. That doesn't happen too often; a band with no bad songs? Steely Dan is really something special.
Because this was just their second album, Fagen and Becker still relied mostly on their original band members, with a few guest musicians (Victor Feldman, Rick Derringer, Ray Brown). As a result, they were not yet able to achieve their full vision that they would later when they went all in on using studio musicians exclusively. Still, even with such "handicaps," they still recorded great songs that stood out from the rest of the pop/rock pack.
You love your Steely Dan brothers, some of the finest music ever produced. I had the pleasure of seeing them do this song live a number of times in 1974 with their newly hired drummer Jeff Porcaro. Spectacular! Listen for yourselves, there are a number of live sets on TH-cam from 1974. I like Live at the Record Plant or the Sopwith Camel in Glendale, I was there!
21st Century Steely Dan - my recommendations: From Two Against Nature (4XGrammy winner): Jack of Speed, Janie Runaway, What a Shame About Me, Almost Gothic, Negative Girl, West of Hollywood (be prepared to be blown away by WoH!). From Everything Must Go: Godwhacker, Pixeleen, Lunch with Gina, Everything Must Go.
One of my favorite Bowie songs and by the way the dude CAN sing. For instance check out his vocals on SWEET THING/ CANDIDATE/SWEET THING(REPRISE) from his DIAMOND DOGS album and hear the emotional inflections from low moodiness arcing into a high pleading, but done so musically perfect.
We were rock kids who grew up listening to our parents jazz albums (if we were LUCKY) and Steely Dan just hit that sweet spot. My mom & sibs all huge fans from beginning to end and then Donald Fagen. RIP Walter Becker, and thanks for all the decades of exquisite music & joy you gave me...and my family & friends.🥰
Steely D. meets Mad Max.....I LOVE this tune! One of the most underrated tunes in the SD catalogue, IMHO. Totally evocative, you can picture the scene and play out the story in your mind. And yes, although different from other SD tunes, the musicianship is just killer! guitar and drums! (I believe Skunk and Dias on the ax and Porcaro on drums) Fantastic Rxn, LA and Chi!
More Donald Fagen: New Frontier (long version), Maxine, Tomorrow's Girls, On the Dunes, Florida Room, Teahouse on the Tracks, H-Gang, Great Pagoda of Funn, The Night Belongs to Mona, Slinky Thing, Good Stuff, Weather in My Head, Marlene
Hey dudes I was listening to all the Steely Dan from when I was 14 in 74 their early stuff nailed it .. Semi Naked women heaps of good dope partied all night throughout the 70s 80s and still love all there music.. None better best studio band ever
When will you get to SD ‘s Two Against Nature? It’s a 2000 Grammy album!!!!!! Please start with Jack of Speed and West of Hollywood!!!!!!! You guys have done a superb job of reacting to their music…..None better!!!
FAVORITE Steely song! Thanks guys, sooo good, they were delivering at such a high level during this period. Love that synth solo or whatever it is, SO cool...and Denny's guitar outtro is off the hook! I think Skunk is on this one too..both amazing!
When I first encountered this album back in the 80s, this tune was on endless replay for me, and is still my favorite from Countdown. Great reaction! Thanks.
I knew you guys would be crazy for this one! Imagine that this was written and produced at a time with Steely were still a touring band. They played this live! One of my favorites and a song that still sounds that it came out tomorrow.
Love the reaction! This is one of my favorites. The guitar work (Denny Dias) is great! "Pearl" of the Quarter" and "Razor Boy" are also great tracks on this album if you haven't reviewed them yet.
So funny, I was just looking for your reaction to this song this morning…I was shocked you guys had not heard it….and then 1 hour later I get notified…remember to like, subscribe and click than notification bell….don’t want to miss a reaction…Happy Friday
Reminds me of Jan Hammer's Don't You Know? off of his Melodies album! Would be cool if you listened to see if you thought so, too!! Chord progressions sound very close in some parts....but, this is faster tempo'ed.... LOVE THE DAN!!! (Love Jan Hammer Group, too!!) HUGS, YOU-GUYS - HAPPY FRIDAY!!! WAY to START IT OFF!! THANKS! ❤❤❤
The whole album is fire. It was my first Dan album that I bought I think in 73. I immediately then went out and bought Can’t Buy a Thrill and have been hooked ever since.
Not sure if it would generate a great audience for reactions, but 11 Tracks of Whack solo album by Walter Becker is a gem well worth listening to, if not on reacting to, at least on your own time. Completely different sound and Walter Becker doing all the vocals. A lot of it reflecting on his time living in Hawaii.
This made my day! One of the things I love about these kinds of reactions is that you’re able to spend some time with the individual songs and appreciate them apart from the rest of of the album. They are SO GOOD and I feel like they deserve some attention, y’know? On a side note, I always thought that if I had an all-girl band I’d name it No Marigolds as a little shout out to these lyrics. 🧡
Always a great reaction, gentlemen. SD is a stand alone island a brilliance. Off point a bit, there is an AI clip on TH-cam of Obama, Trump and Biden scoring each SD album in rank. Pretty darn funny if you need a laugh.
My FAVORITE Steely Dan song!!! 💯😎
Mine too!
@@Fuphyter Great minds... 😎
same 🙏🙏
WORD
SAME
Expensive chords.
Those chords are creamy and delicious.....
THE BOSTON RAG is a must! This was a great video. In fact, I've watched your Steely reactions dozens of times!
Finally! Someone loves this track as much as me!
Never understood why this one doesn’t get any love.
Great reaction as always 😊👍🏼
I'm with you...the creativity of this tune is off the charts!
Or the album, do people really like Aja more than Countdown?
It's a fantastic song. always been my favorite track on this album!!
I've always considered it as one of my favorite Steely Dan's songs!
Same here. I always strained to hear the last notes.
Another Steely Dan classic. Aren't they all? Smokin' cobalt cigarettes.
Each change brings you into a totally different sound landscape, it’s incredible how complete each different groove is
KING of the WORLD
AKA: END OF THE WORLD.... A song about the LA Area after a Nuclear War. "No Marigolds in the Promised Land... there is a hole in the ground where they used to grow...!
King Of The World and Aja are the two best Steely Dan songs.
King of The World 🔥
One of the best anti-nuclear protest songs ever written...so evocative, it puts you hunched over that ham radio, searching, right along with the character...chilling!
Man...I was 13 in 1970 and thought I was alone that this song is f*cking phenominal. The guitar noodling thru most of the song!? love this track Any Major Dude is another fav. The 70s were unrivaled in music diversity. SD raised the bar.
The guitar playing on this track in simply sensational
This is one of the buried gems of Steely Dan. Jim Hodder's drumming on this is sublime and so are the various lines by Jeff Baxter and , I'm pretty sure it's Denny Dias on the git solo.
This is a severely underrated song! One of my Favorites by Steely Dan!
Another banger from this album is Boston Rag. Also, the song "Pearl of the Quarter" had a cool country feel with slide guitar that you guys will love.
Voulez,voulez,voulez,vou!
Why isn't Pearl of The Quarter played to death on the radio? Or one of those songs everybody knows the words to? It's perfection.
Guitar tone on Boston Rag kills. Sounds like a dimed Deluxe, but who knows. So raw.
@@markburnham7512 Worth a look to hear live Skunk on Boston Rag from 1974. Awful recordings, blistering solos!
This is actually one my favorite Dan songs.....extremely underrated.
I watched this a couple of times - it's highly pleasurable watching the pair of you digging it; I defy you to find a song you won't like. This one is just as great as all the others.

Steely Dan never recorded a "bad" song. They are a band anyone can listen to and enjoy. A great universal sound. Rock on.
One exception: Show Biz Kids
Oh c'mon its not that bad. Its quite enjoyable@@cumulo25
Really driven along by Walter's fantastic bass playing. This was a time when Steely Dan were really a "Band".
And let’s not fail to mention that otherworldly-great guitar waterfall from Dias 🔥
This album is SD's forgotten masterpiece...one pristine masterpiece after another on this album. Keep staying with it, " The Boston Rag " is especially tasty
Married to this album 50 years now, and it wins every argument.
Love your Streely Dan reactions. "Chain Lightning" should be played at some point. One of my favorite bands. Thanks for the entertainment...love watching your content ❤ #1
The 'Chain' only has to strike once to make one a believer.
And if you do react, I'll tell you what Chain Lighting is about. It's classic Steely: talking indirectly about some unknown event, but once you know, it makes perfect sense.
Best blues i've ever heard
You asked what else can we listen to? Two Against Nature Grammy Award winner of 2000. Start with Jack of Speed and then West of Hollywood. Simply Great!

Thanks for a great start to the weekend. You can not go wrong with any Steely Dan. Have a great weekend my friends. Excellent reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
I'm ready for my first cuppa coffee now
Steely Dan has always been the band musicians listen to. The best players and the best material.
Post-apocalypse, sci-fi theme, as Fagen reaches out for signs of humanity "on this old ham radio". Upbeat & jazzy, juxtaposed against a bleak hell-scape - vintage Steely Dan. The execution and musicianship is top-notch as usual, featuring Denny Dias on guitar. When I think about the subject matter, I imagine the repetitive synth as an air raid siren.

Love this Band!
Dropped many a Tab to them back in the 70s!!
Always good, f*ck I've still got the memories!!!
So all good!!..
Thanks for your reactions, very enjoyable. Steely will be opening for the Eagles at the Forum. I hope you will be able to go see them. That is a true Steely Dan experience. Also look out for their Hollywood Bowl performances, always a sellout, always a trip!

Seconded!
Thirded! (They are going to crap when they hear the new stuff!)
Some people dismiss the latter two albums, but Jack of Speed, Godwhacker, west of Hollywood are great. The albums are more jazz/blues than the first seven, but that’s their evolution.
OMG dudes, y’all hit it OUT OF THE FRICKIN’ PARK!! Love it!!❤
Surprise! The Dan still has the low key bangers waiting to be discovered. Keep diving
Don’t leave this album without checking out The Boston Rag! Also, Razor Boy is pure Dan genius!
With STEELY DAN it is impossible to pick a favorite, also impossible to pick
a song that u do not like !!!! Love u guys……. ENJOY … Jazz infused Rock
This is my favorite Steely album! Count down to ecstacy.
Another great SD reaction from the pros!
Jazz - yes, Fagen & Becker are both *huge* Jazz fans and they've always said that their aim was to combine their favorite elements from Jazz with Rock & R&B. This track in particular featured the incredible guitar playing of Denny Dias who studied with BeBop masters
The voice of the keyboards used for the repeating refrain is suggestive of an air raid siren.
Great reaction! In case you missed it, it's about life after a nuclear war -depressing lyrics set to a happy tune, a Steely Dan speciality. You guys need to listen to " The Boston Rag".
On Countdown to Ecstasy - there is Razor Boy, which is Latin Jazz...and Boston Rag which is more of a jazz rock fusion. Both are killers. The catalog goes hard and deep. So much great stuff left.
Wow! Totally excellent! Steely Dan never disappoints and always amazes! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please don't miss Your Gold Teeth from this album. It's a really smart and cool song, about a female grifter who has worn out her welcome.
Great reaction as always--your SD reactions are favorites of mine since you started.
Oops, you already reacted to it. You rock!!!
It's good to be king and even gooder to be a diehard Steely Dan fan to the core. I see so much disappointment outside my front door, but the Dan never lets me down. God rest your soul Walter and bless you Donald.
My ALL TIME FAVORITE Steely Dan song ❤❤❤
A lot of people find this to be their most prog-rock type track. It does have that vibe somewhat....one of their best.
I bought the Citizen Steely Dan box set when it came out and I listened to it from beginning to end. 66 songs and I liked them all. That doesn't happen too often; a band with no bad songs? Steely Dan is really something special.

Walter and Don were musical geniuses!if you have not done My Old School or Bad Sneakers then you must try reacting to these great ones!
We’ve done those
Awesome! thanks! this is another one of their songs that just sems unplayable from a technical standpoint
Amazing song that came out 50 years ago!!
I love this album. I think you skipped over "The Boston Rag". Yes released 1972, The Dan's second album
Steely D. meets Mad Max.....I LOVE this tune! One of the most underrated tunes in the SD catalogue, IMHO. Totally evocative, you can picture the scene and play out the story in your mind.
And yes, although different from other SD tunes, the musicianship is just killer! guitar and drums! (I believe Skunk and Dias on the ax and Porcaro on drums) Fantastic Rxn, LA and Chi!

This song takes on another note when you know what it's about. Such a dark song.
I would suggest "Cousin Dupree" from their comback album "Two Against Nature".
You guys are right on, this is album is great and this song is one of their underappreciated gems. Becker is really killing it on the bass.
OMG I LOVE Steely Dan. This is my fav song, but I never see anyone react to it. Thank you ❤
For some reason, this song perfectly encapsulated what wanting to die feels like
Steely Dan's lyrics are HARD AS FUCK, man!!! They talk about NOTHING but dirty ass real life shit! 💯
one of my fave songs from Steeley Dan,love this!!
Another great one. Waiting patiently for The Boston Rag
Hey dudes I was listening to all the Steely Dan from when I was 14 in 74 their early stuff nailed it .. Semi Naked women heaps of good dope partied all night throughout the 70s 80s and still love all there music.. None better best studio band ever
Hope you guys will delve back into the 50s and 40s someday. Many surprising things.
Good ol Steely. Ain’t nothing better
Best song on the album. Classic.
I believe that is Dean Parks bluesy guitar climbing in at the end.
When will you get to SD ‘s Two Against Nature? It’s a 2000 Grammy album!!!!!! Please start with Jack of Speed and West of Hollywood!!!!!!! You guys have done a superb job of reacting to their music…..None better!!!
In the past this track was not among my favorites, but it's grown on me. Maybe I've matured.
FAVORITE Steely song! Thanks guys, sooo good, they were delivering at such a high level during this period. Love that synth solo or whatever it is, SO cool...and Denny's guitar outtro is off the hook! I think Skunk is on this one too..both amazing!
One of the most musically solid rock albums top to bottom, for my tastes.
OGs of funk, jazz, rock, and soul.
Thanks for this reaction---every time I hear Steely Dan I need to grab my bass, spent many hours on much of their anthology!
Love the cover and every song gold
When I first encountered this album back in the 80s, this tune was on endless replay for me, and is still my favorite from Countdown. Great reaction! Thanks.
Had to look way back 8 days since last Black Sabbaths end of 1st Album!!!
I knew you guys would be crazy for this one! Imagine that this was written and produced at a time with Steely were still a touring band. They played this live! One of my favorites and a song that still sounds that it came out tomorrow.

The whole album is fire. It was my first Dan album that I bought I think in 73. I immediately then went out and bought Can’t Buy a Thrill and have been hooked ever since.
The best thing about airplay beats is you guys bring up the bands from the golden age of radio rock. Keep up the good work.
Wow! What sensational musicianship and wildly great lyrics with unbelievable harmonies. Love your reactions!
Looking forward to Razor Boy, one of my favourites from this album. Love this track too, especially the Steve Howe/Yes fade out
Not sure if it would generate a great audience for reactions, but 11 Tracks of Whack solo album by Walter Becker is a gem well worth listening to, if not on reacting to, at least on your own time.

You guys keep playing my favorite tunes by SD! Thanks!
Keep listening!
3:20 one of my fav parts of music ever
I'm so glad you got to this song! I knew you two would appreciate the amazing musicianship on this song. Love watching you guys!
Denny and Jeff bouncing over and under each other is some mad sorcery🤦🏾♂️😱🤯
That bass was goin crazzzy
this is funky as hell !
Steely stuff 💯
This made my day! One of the things I love about these kinds of reactions is that you’re able to spend some time with the individual songs and appreciate them apart from the rest of of the album. They are SO GOOD and I feel like they deserve some attention, y’know? On a side note, I always thought that if I had an all-girl band I’d name it No Marigolds as a little shout out to these lyrics. 🧡
No Marigolds!! Love It..... This is my favourite track on this album!
Why can I not find me a women that loves steely Dan
Always a great reaction, gentlemen. SD is a stand alone island a brilliance.
Off point a bit, there is an AI clip on TH-cam of Obama, Trump and Biden scoring each SD album in rank.
Pretty darn funny if you need a laugh.
Midnight Cruiser is one of my favs.
