We are so lucky to have had Steely Dan during the 70's......they have provided so much for the entire music industry to sample & enjoy

@natecorning 3 жыл бұрын

Best thing about Steely Dan is how complicated the songs actually are but they make it sound so simple. All of these chords are all crazy jazz chords, but the way they harmonize and arrange the music makes it palatable for the average listener. Something in it for everyone lol

@craigedwards2940 3 жыл бұрын

It's not actually that complicated, but because a lot of their chart's were written on piano, some of the reaches can be a bit trying on guitar. :-) Not unworkable, but difficult. Having said that, the old cliche of practice, is a wonderful thing.

The amazing thing, for me anyway, is how many fantastic compositions Becker & Fagan penned and then assembled musicians to bring them to fruition. Writing a few great songs is a worthy accomplishment but these guys have dozens! Each album is a "must have" because IMO, you just can't go wrong. Casually cool and hipster-chic. I just turned my 76 year-old aunt (who has always been cool!), on to the AJA disc and she loved it!

@missbelled6700 3 жыл бұрын

One of my all time favorites, and they are about as u-cool as cool gets, and vice-versa. Very little ego to the recordings or songs, they wanted to produce The Best possible version of whatever song it was, and it's fantastic, everything that went into the albums was to serve the music, not their names or image or any of that. They wrote "improper", eclectic stuff with strange, dark lyrics and just played it to near-perfection, put it on record and shipped it. Testament to their era of studio musicians, too. Chuck Rainey is one of my inspirations.

'Sweet Things from Boston' is a reference to LSD-laced sugar cubes. 1967, when Donald Fagen was 19 years old, the year of the Summer of Love', hippies and 'trips'. Although Fagen was never a hippie, he was a 1960s version of a 'hipster' (in the original 1940s/1950s Bebop Culture and before sense, as in 'hepcat') and while studying Literature at Bard College, he experimented w/ psychedelics. Boston is home of Harvard university, where 1960 LSD Guru Timothy Leary had his own very first LSD trip. Boston and Harvard of the early 1960s became associated w/ then-legal psychedelic research.
