Boy, hit that HYPE button. 65 and still rockin’ to Steely Dan.

Steely Dan never disappoints, but always puts out quality.

Steely Dan is a great American rock band founded in 1971. They had a lot of great hits such as "Do It Again", "Reelin' In The Years", Dirty Work", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Hey Nineteen", "Peg", "Josie", "Deacon Blues", "Show Biz Kids", "My Old School" etc.

"is it just me?" No sir, it's millions of us! Phenomenal talent. EVERY SD song is exceptional ❤️

Hit that Hype button! If any song deserves it this one does! They were incredible musicians and geniuses at producing amazing sounding perfect songs!

Van, this is so exciting! I just noticed recently that you had never reacted to Steely Dan and I couldn’t believe it. I hope this had something to do with my suggestion. You’re gonna love this journey! The rabbit hole is deep and you will not find a bad song! “Aja” or “Deacon Blues” would be good for your next Steely Dan listen. Definitely give it the hype button! 🌺✌️

Steely Dan is your favorite bands favorite band.

Hype Steely Dan

You have fallen for the steely train. This will be a long and joyful hype road. So many good songs and even their back catalog is full of wonderfulness.

Steely Dan really doesn’t have any bad songs! Keep going with them and I love Sade too man!

All of Steely Dan's music gets the hype!!!

HYPE all day for Steely Dan

LOVE THIS BAND!!

Hit that "HYPE" button......You are going to really enjoy this ride!!!!!

Go down the Dan rabbit hole! So many great songs. These guys are consummate musicians and only hired the best studio players. Great choice!

Hit the hype button now!! Greatest band ever!!

Omg, Van! I started hearing Steely Dan in the 70s and Sade in the 80s and had NEVER made that connection. IMMEDIATELY after you said that, "Smooth Operator" popped in my head! You're right! Love your channel! 👍❤

Song is about, learn from your mistakes or you will go back and do it again. Cool song. I was about 20 years old when it came out. Really like watching you. 2-9-2022

This song has always been one of my favorites from Steely Dan. That guitar lead was incredible. As soon as you showed that hype button I was hitting it on my screen lol. Please continue with his music.....all of it. Thanks for this one. Excellent reaction.

Yes! This is the beginning of the Steely Dan rabbit hole for Van and I'm so happy for him! Enjoy!

I was born the year this came out and by the time i could walk n talk my mom says I would cruise around the house singin this at 2 years old. From the time i heard this with baby ears on it grabbed my ear and still hasn't let go. I swear the best test to see if a song is good is to play it front of a young baby that hasn't had any experiences.When they naturally start groovin and movin you know you got a hit song on your hands.

Hey, Nineteen! Classic Steely Dan. Or, “Peg”. Thanks, Van! 👏🏼🧔🏽‍♂️

Every time you hear a Steely Dan song,you'll wanna smash that button w/a sledgehammer.

So glad I grew up in the era of the best rock ever made.

Steely Dan are more than a Band.They are musical genuises. Check out "FM" and "Black Cow",and "Peg" where Michael McDonald sings backup. Michael also played keyboard for them for some years.

It's great to see you enjoy this masterpiece that people my age have been jamming to for 50 years. This cut was recorded in 1973. Bad ass band.

Hype to the max, love the Dan. When you play more songs, you'll notice that they have been sampled by a lot of rap artists who love their cool and funky grooves. It only gets better, this was their first album

Yes to the hype button. You will not be disappointed.

Welcome to 1972! These guys are amazing!! My all-time favorite band

I quote the late great B.B.King, Those Steely Dan Cats is some smooth brothers...!

What’s up guys!? Thanks to YOU ALL, we are here! Where we go next is completely up to you. 💯💪🏽

You can't help but fall in love with Steely Dan. Smooth is the perfect description.

This particular song from them I don't hear Sade, but I hear Santana. Has their vibe for sure in this one.

HYPE! Steely Dan, a little smoke and enjoy the vibe! This never gets old #SteelyDan #LFRFamily

"FM (no static at all)" is a must react to by Steely Dan.

All Steely Dan gets the Hype Button and Van, you’ve been in da Garage haven’t you? Come on Bro 😎 and Yes love Sade, ‘Smooth Operator’ !!!

You are right... smooth! Love Steely Dan. They do not have a bad song. You will love this journey! 💖

Steely Dan is always smooooooth!

The hype is real! All Steely Dan tunes are fire 🔥🔥🔥

Steely Dan is a GREAT BAND...GREAT BODY OF MUSIC....these cats can play....hit thay HYPE BUTTON AND KEEP IT NEAR WHENEVER YOU PLAY SOMETHING FROM THEM....

Hype button for sure. If you keep reacting to Steely Dan you're going to wear out your button. Steely Dan is on a level of their own. There's a saying, "Steely Dan is your favorite band's favorite band".

HIT THAT HYPE BUTTON 🔥Yes!! Now you see why they are my FAVORITE music 💖 And yes, I know Sade; my fave is "Nothing Can Come Between Us"; she is smooth as hell. HAVE to go down the Steely Dan Rabbit Hole; they have a lot of variety in their songs to the extent that some songs are more jazz-infused, some are slower tempo, ALL are great. I recommend "Caves of Altamira" or "Babylon Sister" for the slower pace, and "Rikki Don't Lose that Number" or "AJA" for the Jazz twist. They were heavily influenced by Jazz-the GREAT Mr. Horace Silver from Cape Verde, Africa especially.

If this doesn't deserve hitting the hype button, nothing does. A 50 year old song that has such perfect smooth grooves will stay fresh another 50 years.

Steely Dan...Start with the name. Great name. Then, every song is good. It all grooves. They are just good, good, good musicians.

Go down the rabbit hole my friend. Steely Dan = HYPE

It's not you; it's Steely Dan, the musicians from Heaven.

Our four years old daughter just walked in my room and started dancing, lol.

Steely Dan is your favorite bands favorite band ✌🤘

Been a Steely Dan fan since 1976, never gets old.

There is a gene in every human, that activates at 40 years of age, that makes Steely Dan irresistible

Hit the HYPE button for sure. They never disappoint

Steely Dan, yessss!!! Check out “Reelin’ In The Years” from them next, such a fun tune!

Hype it!!!!

Absolutely the BEST Sunday hangover band ever...

Hype! 😊

Among my favorite Steely Dan songs: "Jack of Speed," "Home at Last," "Pretzel Logic," "Peg," "Charlie Freak," "Reeling in the Years," and "Haitian Divorce." From Donald Fagan's solo album Night Fly, try listening to "I. G. Y. (What a Beautiful World)," and "New Frontier."

Great reaction, brother ,I love the steely Dan boys ,awesome music🎹🎶🎵🎷🎸🎺🎙🔊🎵🎶🎹🎸

One of the most technically proficient bands in history. Not just with the actual playing of the instruments, but in the sound design and recording as well. Plus, they simply have cool tunes. Something you can't really replicate.

Steely Dan is all over the Hype Button. They own it!!!!!!!!

got to go on a Steely Dan run.. throw a dart and hit any song. you won't be disappointed. top 5 band all time in my book.

🔥SADE has been my FAV of FAV of FAVORITE female singers forEVVVVER!!!❣️ 40 years and counting….🥰 Hopefully you’ll react to her song “PARADISE” live someday.

Steely Dan. Very good!. Go Canada 🇨🇦 Go America! Enough is Enough 🇺🇸

This song 100% deserves the HYPE! Your smile while listening to this was a joy to see.

So damned old, but still so damned good! Steely Dan is in a genre unto itself. Rock, jazz, funk, reggae. They have such a sophisticated sound. Talent and spice - every song. I literally cannot recommend any bad song by this band. Period.

Give it the Hype!!!

Please do more Steely Dan!

When I feel the need to "chill" instrumentality with high quality music, I always turn to Steely Dan, Yes, Rush, and Supertramp. Absolutely Hype!

Steely Dan is smoothest band ever!!!! No drum backs!!

You are so much fun to watch. I love your reactions.

You're right! Totally has that Smooth Operator vibe.. someone should do a mashup ...

I hadn’t previously realised until you said it, but you’re spot on. It does remind me of Sade - in particular “smooth operator”.

Steely Dan are more than a "rabbit hole" - they are a mine shaft, with multiple side tunnels. Once you're in, you'll never want to get out....rock, jazz, funk, prog, blues, fusion...you'll never know what's coming, but it will be GOOD. Lots of good suggestions below, but here are a few more: "Kid Charlemagne", "The Royal Scam", "Green Earrings", "Dr. Wu", "Don't Take Me Alive", "Aja", Pretzel Logic", "Midnight Cruiser", and MANY more. Never a dull moment.

All of Steely Dan is like this. Great.

Hype that thing ten times

Hit the hype button.. For sure.

I agree this could very well be on a Sade album. Smooth intro into Jazz from a rock and roll fan. I got hooked in the 70's.

I love Steely Dan…Aja, and Peg….

Hit the HYPE button...Steely Dan...is the best!!

Ohh dam 41 yrs married my gosh We loved this album... Many wonderful evenings a bottle.of nice wine....just awesome ohh wait till you check out Aja Cheers

Steely Dan "Deacon Blues" & "Dirty Work"

Sawaaaaggggg… grooveee…. Melodic afff yazzz !

HYPE. So far there are 2.

Got my drivers license here in New Zealand in 1973, Steely Dan, Eagles, America, Journey, Bee Gees, Beach Boys etc, on my cassette player. The greatest driving music ever, cruising through our majestic country playing loud, best times ever.

The bass line in this is kickass

These guys were the smoothest rock/jazz band ever.

No band makes me move and groove like The Steely♥️✨

Hope it got the hype button because Steely Dan rocks 🎉

This is straight up brilliant! HYPE.

Loved steelie Dan.

Oh yes Steely Dan deserves the hype button for sure!

Yes definitely deserves hype button.

First time I hear this song in thing was SANTANA 🔥 PECE AND ROLL FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 AMIGO GOOD SHOW

It's not just you, my man. Dis....is.....Smooooth

Steely Dan is always fire.

I loved Sade back in the day, never made the comparison but you’re right! Steely Dan is a must hear staple! Explore! There’s MUCH MORE!😉

Give it the HYPE button!

I'm not motivated enough to do the research, but when I saw Van reacting to this song with a beautiful mile-wide smile, it occurred to me that we aren't blessed with that countenance very often. At the very least, not often enough. That smile made my day!!.

One if the greatest bands on planet earth...

HYPE! HYPE! Steely Dan is fire.

Hype it!!!!!!!!
