Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on TH-cam, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on TH-cam. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on TH-cam, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

I feel so grateful to have seen them the summer before Walter Becker passed away 💜 RIP, Sir ~
On Backup vocals is Michael McDonald! My favourite track on this album is the title track Aja. It’s long and has a fantastic sound.
His voice is so distinctive
Steely Dan are a genre.
Listening to Steely Dan gives a similar happy feeling to listening to Stevie Wonder! I know you love Stevie!
Please continue on your Steely Dan journey. You'll be glad you did, I promise! Did you catch Michael McDonald on the background vocals on Peg?
It's important to know that the core of Steely Dan was really Donald Fagan and Walter Becker. They brought in a huge array of extremely talented studio musicians specifically for each track. There were returning talents like drummers Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, and Bernard Purdie and guitarists like Larry Carlton and Denny Diaz as well as others. But they were really more of a studio, not a touring, band because of that ever-changing line-up.
And Walter Becker is no longer living.
@@Wordsmyth8 Yes, sadly. Thanks for pointing this out. I was going to mention it and forgot.
Three things you can count on in a Steeley Dan song: a funky groove, some jazz elements, and instrumental perfection.
Steely Dan is amazing. Love this one and Hey Nineteen. Along with a couple of dozen others.
There are so so many great SD songs to recommend but I'd suggest Hey Nineteen, Dr. Wu, Babylon Sisters, FM, The Glamour Profession, Gaucho, Josie, Green Earrings, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Monkey In Your Soul, that can keep you going for a while!
The mighty Michael McDonald on backup vocals = a cool groove.
I still hear new things in this song. I've probably known it for 40 years.
All of those harmonized voices in the chorus are Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers.
Ricky Don’t Lose That Number, by Steely Dan is really good!👍👏👏👏💙
Steely Dan's best song of all time for my money. Never tire of this song and that fire guitar solo.
Love this song!! I haven't heard it in so long!! Thanks for this reaction!!!
What a bass line!
Great song, Shawn. I had the pleasure of seeing them twice. I love the songs "Bodhisattva," "Kid Charlemagne," "Hey Nineteen," "Babylon Sisters," and "FM." I've got all their albums,
and Donald Fagen's solo works too. Amazing music No one else like them.
Greatness. One of their Best. But they have so many great songs.
Thanks Shawn
Yes, Steely indeed - music's best friend!
Babylon Sisters is a must! You’ll love it!
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" for sure. And not just because it's my favorite
You're smiling and bobbing your head and you can't help it. It's an absolute banger. This band is truly awesome,great pick.
Fortunately Shawn has reacted to a bunch of SD songs and hope he will do some more.
Like Steely Dan. Very jazzy. There's a newer outfit, Monkey House, whose sound is arrestingly close to Steely Dan's (one of the SD guys has been involved with their recordings), so if you don't manage to catch Steely Dan live keep an eye out for Monkey House instead...
Also, check out Donald Fagen's solo album Nightfly. Some great stuff on there including the title track and Walk Between The Raindrops...
I love his Kamakiriad album.
One of their best songs. My favorite song is Deacon Blues.
Shout-out to the legendary Chuck Rainey on bass!
Dude is an incredibly smooth, masterclass player. Top tier talent for sure
Studio musicians are paid well in NYC, and LA. With strong union representation.
Appreciate the analogy of classifying music into genres like isles in the grocery store. Maybe we didn’t consider which genre music belonged in back in the day because bands played multiple types of genres. For example, Steely Dan is jazz, funk, and pop, like in this song.
Steely Dan is gold. They definitely have jazz influence. In the 60s and 70s, you had Rock and Hard Rock and the band's influences were just that. There's too many labels IMO, but I don't have a problem with that, peace Shawn.
Great song big hit and a very fine funky groove along with Michael McDonald singing background vocals. Now if you haven’t tried My Old School that is a must reaction to do!SHAWN the problem with labeling certain bands is that they may play different styles on different albums or even the same album. Musician often times progress into various directions as their knowledge, likings and skills grow! Steely Dan is one of these artists and Jethro Tull fits into that category too, just to mention a couple.
HEY SHAWN! 😊HUGE RADIO HIT THIS WAS, JUST 1 OF 4 OFF OF THEIR 77 ALBUM ( AJA ) 👍THE OTHERS WERE : JOSIE, BLACK COW, DEACON BLUES ) HEY, I SEE YOU DID ( SQUONK ) VERY VERY COOL SHAWN! 💯TAKE GREAT CARE MAN!
……it’s your bands favorite band !!! ❤️🔥🎸 ……like bands, “SuperTramp” “Bowie”
With the 60s came the era of the studio player. In LA, they were collectively known as the Wrecking Crew, with many Steely players coming from the tail end of the 60s. But, there was a new generation of crack studio guys.
On Katy Lied, it was 20 yo Jeff Porcaro on drums along with the great Wrecking Crew drummer Hal Blaine. There are some great photos, both played with Sonny and Cher.
The new generation and the old. Knowing their appreciation of history and studio players, I like to think Becker & Fagan did it on purpose. Porcaro and the Wrecking Crew II.
Great reaction! Love Steely Dan! I enjoy watching you enjoying music! ☮️❤️😎
I do too… he’s sincere.. he truly loves & appreciates great music! It’s fun to watch him!
Show Biz Kids ! Different even for them. My favorite. They name-checked themselves in the song lol!
Josie is another one a lot like Peg in the vibe.
FM is another great song of theirs that got a lot of air play.
This is another good song, remember it well on the radio!👍💜💜
“Bad Sneakers” is a cool listen 😎
This is my favorite all-time pop/r&b track...Chuck Rainey and Rick Marotta are perfectly in sync. A perfect record
So many great tunes this is a fave ❤
Genres and sub-genres and sub-genres of subgenres of popular music, or really modern music, let's say, have exponentially proliferated for sure.
I mean, with just Metal alone, by the early 2000s, there were literally in the hundreds of genres and subgenres for that.
Steely Dan can cure road rage
Saw them live in Dublin 7 years ago,they shared the bill with another favourite in The Doobie Brothers,man what a dream night that was!
It's the bass that does it for me in this one.
They didn’t want Chuck Rainey to use a slap style, but he went with his instinct, and did it anyway. Of course, it turned out to be excellent. Trust the bassist, guys!
We totally GET why genres and categories are useful, and what you're saying is absolutely valid. But what I think us oldsters are trying to tell you is that when WE were listening to it, when it came out, especially in the late 60's and into the 70's, there was a musical and cultural moment where EVERYBODY seemed to TRANSCEND genre -- when there was so much wild experimentation and openness to different people's music that, after the Beatles, groups were going in so many myriad directions, you couldn't categorize them.
So on the radio, you'd hear ALL of these songs on just ONE rock station, that now you might categorize as soul, funk, hard rock, soft rock, pop, tin pan alley, synth rock, futuristic space rock, country, folk, ballads, social statements, satire, apocalyptic jeremiads (like IN THE YEAR 2525). It was an amazing and halcyon time when, for a moment, we transcended genre and also race -- think of how many multi-racial bands were around at that time -- from Sly and the Family Stone to the Allman Brothers to Santana to Three Dog Night to Blood Sweat and Tears -- and I could go on and on.
There was definitely a movement to separate that incredible unity and synchrony we were experiencing through music, that sort of begins with the disco/punk wars of the later 1970's in NYC and London, and continued apace for the next few decades. God bless you and your channel, Shawn -- you're great and so many of us older people love to watch you listen to and really appreciate and understand the music of our youths.
Steely Dan’s genre, 🆒
RIKKI WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE, YEAH! 😊THEY WERE JUST A GREAT 2 MAN ROCK BAND WITH DIFFERENT SESSION MUSICIANS SHAWN, JUST LIKE : THE CARPENTERS, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, HALL AND OATES 👍 BUT THEY DEFINITELYYYY HAD THEIR OWN UNIQUE SOUNDS 💯
They have such a great sound! So happy you did this song! 😀👍
Jazz/Rock Fusion. Check out a fellow named Lee Ritenour, something from his album called On The Line, maybe the tune California Roll or The Rit Variations, or maybe the title cut.
genres are like classifying for disco, etc. I liked the Goucho album from Steely Dan. Donald Fagen went solo in the early 80s ("IGY" ) as I recall, was a very good one
Do "Blue Sky" by the Allman Brothers Band in tribute to Dickie Betts!!!
I love this song in every way .. but I had not noticed until recently how good Rick Marotta is on the drums ..he is working it hard!!
Please check out Steely Dan, "Pretzel Logic" or "Deacon Blues"
Rest in Peace Master Davide Becker. We'll be seeing you❤
💃☘️
Studio musicians get paid for their studio work, yes.
They defy genre , because they love and use all genres. They're musicians....
This one would be closer to jazz or fusion, but they do rock, blues, some of their stuff sounds Motown, even country. But they are a genre all of their own.
MY OLD SCHOOL, BAD SNEAKERS, REELIN IN THE YEARS, HAITIAN DIVORCE, WELL THERE'S SOME SHAWN 😊, DON'T FORGET ABOUT ( RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER ) 👍
Jazz Fusion; in this case Jazz Pop Rock Fusion. The tricky bastards lured us in with a debut album of great pop rock first.
You should look into the '70s band TAVARES, specifically "Heaven Must be Missing an Angel". (Pronounced "Tuh-vares " 2 syllables). Their lead singer "Pooch" Tavares recently passed away. They were from New Bedford, MA.
You need to do a little comedy start with react to Johnny cash's song Chattanooga city limit sign. If you love a great story and love to laugh this is the song.
If you need a genre I'd call it a mash-up of Rock/Jazz/Funk/Soul.
Thanks for the upload.
Great reaction to a great song, so thank you! I would only take issue with the supermarket analogy. Not that it is not valid, it is. On the other hand, if you are looking specifically for cookies (genre) and want to be pointed to the exact location of where the cookies are, you risk not discovering something in your wandering you might enjoy even more!
Definitely headphone music!! The 'Making of Peg' video is kinda cool too.
Great song. The only way I can handle Michael McDonald is as a backup singer on Steely Dan albums
Try Donald Fagen's solo work, including "The Nightfly" album.
Jazz Fusion?
as long as one of the founders and leaders donald fagen is still alive or in good health they'll continue to tour !
I'd rather not know where the cookies are I'd rather go into the store and try to find them it's the adventure That I like
What's your favorite foreign movie?
Any Pantera
The thing about studio musicians was the fact that they were in great demand. When The Monkees were formed; studio musicians would be hired to play all the music for the first and second albums. The guys only came in to sing. They would later have to learn each song in order to perform live. Then, go back to the set to start the next season. They didn't have the time to play the music; nor were they given the change. One of the biggest reasons why Mike and Peter were so upset with the direction The Monkees were headed. After taking control of things, they learned the hard way why studio musicians were used.
Speaking of which, I think everyone should watch the 2015 documentary _The Wrecking Crew_ (which is available free on TH-cam), at least once. Great interviews, great insight, great history.
Not really a genre, but I always classified them as "College Rock."
Don’t put them in a box! Especially yacht rock 👎
To be fair, I would listen to them on a yacht. That’s because I would listen to them anywhere, of course.
Steely, Dan is probably my favorite band, or at least in the top five. But I am more of a fan of the early stuff, up to and including their album Aja. Peg is not one of my favorites. Please consider their first few albums (Do It Again, Midnight Cruiser, Turn that Heartbeat Over Again, Boston Rag, Dr. Wu) as well as the songs Black Cow and Home Again from Aja.
Sorry Shawn, those dudes were the two biggest pricks in music, period.. at least the Doobies & Boz Scaggs toured, But for studio arrangers they were the tops, they hired Chuck Rainey slapppin & Rick Morotta with the sticks what more could you ask for, eh Lad enjoy
Steely Dan is currently on tour with the Eagles. I went to see the show in Toronto last month. Steely Dan cancelled. Huge piss off.
Your audio is not right on this video. It's out of sync with the video.
I think that Yacht Rock is the closest genre.
Damn, I remember when this sh*t came out! I was just a kid, you couldn't Nott hear this back then.
Good one, guy!
