Jimmy Page said that this might be his favourite rock song of all time.

There's hearing a Steely Dan song, then there's listening to a Steely Dan song. Their compositions are layered, complex, and catchy. A definite stop on the journey of any musician.

Can't believe this track is nearly 50 years old. Great track from a great album, Can't buy a thrill.

The Elliot Randall guitar solo is legendary. One take.

Keep going with Steely Dan, tons of great music to discover 😁

Pretzel Logic is a favorite Steely Dan track, right up there with Aja and FM. I always thought Reeling in the Years referred to someone recalling his past

I'm 51, had a big ole beard for two years. Shaved it last week. Why? Cuz I'm reelin in the years... Great job, John. Keep up the awesome music reactions. 🤘

If you like this, you'll probably love.... Joe Walsh - "Life's been good" 😉

Hey John! Glad you recognized that Reeling In The Years is a Steely Dan song. It's so cool for us fans to watch a reactor hearing our favorite music. I am glad I subscribed, you are a fun guy to watch react. "Reelin' in the years" - means looking back at your past and checking whether they are fond remembrances or bad memories. This song is considered one of the best guitar classics of the era. imagine, three guitar solos in one song. Keep up the great work John Ken

#FM 🤗 Give us "no Static at all" .... 🤪 or we Riot! #SteelyDan 😁🐰

Man you gotta check out "Do it Again" by them!

Pick any SD song or album and you have a winner. Their arrangements and production levels are top tier. Larry Carlton's guitar solos on 'Kid Charlemagne" are insanely good. That track is on 'The Royal Scam'.

November 1972, Salem Oregon. A one night show, with the Doobie Brothers. Thanks for the memory John, and Patreons.

Steely Dan is your favorite bands favorite band ✌🤘

Smooth Vocals, Little River Band

Been a Steely Dan fan since they first came out. Hey Nineteen is another good song or My Old School. So many great songs to list.😎

Great reaction. Great guitar solo from Elliott Randall who was brought into the studio to perform this solo. Randall has performed with many of the greats such as John Lennon, Nils Lofgren, Peter Frampton, Richie Havens, and Joan Baez just to name a few. Thanks for this presentation.

Hey love your videos. Try the vibe filled “Do it Again”.

I could have listened to that solo continue for fifty years. The instrumentation in this song massages my mind every single time. It's phenomenal, actually.

Don’t forget to check out Pink Floyd dark side of the moon, greatest record of all time.

#HeyNineteen 🤗 We want the 🥃 "Cuervo Gold & 🚭 fine Columbian".... 🤪 or we Riot! #SteelyDan 🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny

I enjoy these reaction videos very much but find it even more amazing that these reactors have supposedly never heard some of these classic songs. I’m so glad these folks are getting to hear great classic songs they’ve missed out on. Never too late to discover new old music.

Kid Charlemagne and Don't take me alive should be on your list. If you like guitar solos these two songs represent the pinnacle of that art. The entire Aja album is superb. As are The Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied. All amazing works for you to discover. I HIGHLY recommend the Behind the Music documentary on the making of Aja. You can find that here on KZfaq. Have a listen to Cousin Dupree if you want something with a bit of humor in it :)

Great reaction! I think you would absolutely love Pink Floyd - "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 No lights, No Audience but "buckle up your seat Dorethy coz Kansas is about to go bye bye" !

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS???? Classic rock at its best.

This song is about recalling times with a girlfriend and a romantic breakup. It's one of the most popular Steely Dan songs, but also one of their least favorite. In Rolling Stone, September 17, 2009, Donald Fagan said, "It's dumb but effective." Walter Becker added, "It's no fun." It's a catchy radio friendly song and as I recall it got a lot of air play.

🙋🏿‍♀️ May I suggest 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' for a pleasant & different change of Vibe from what you just heard. 🤗 Mostly so I can play 🎸 Bass & sing along! 😏 I swear, Michael McDonald is my Spirit Animal. So is Oberyn Martell... 😒 but that's a WHOLE different Convo! 😳 DOH'! 😁🐰

Hey John. Great job, so far. I suggest, for some 'more quirky' SD songs: Pretzle Logic and Bad Sneakers. Toodles!

Nice-just what I was looking for 😉

Nice nice! So happy to see your discovery. Green Earrings, Gold Teeth 1 and 2

Check out "Barrytown" an underrated song. (Possibly about the Moonies who had a seminary near where Fagen and Becker went to college.) I love its simplicity and syncopated rhythyms.

Listen to some Live Versions of Songs in the 70's if you want some really long Great Songs

I think "reelin' in the years" means "getting old" - reeling in the sense of a fishing rod and reel, but instead of catching fish, you're catching age.

Every song you pick from their catalogue is awesome! You can for instance react to Haitian divorce or to King of the world.

Reeling in the Years definition the best I can think of my 59 years of life I think Pink Floyd put it best " 10 years have got behind you no one told you when to run you missed the starting gun " jmo 👍✌🤘💞

The Reel on a fishing rod.

Next? Hey Nineteen, FM (NO Static at All), Here at the Western World, Barrytown, Green Earrings, Babylon Sister

You might try some earlier stuff by them like a song called Fire in the hole. A totally different sound

It's too late for you - down the rabbit hole you go

Do Kid Charlemagne.

Kid Charlemagne is a great song by Steely Dan. I swear Breaking Bad was inspired by it.

Like Rush, Steely Dan has a catalog worthy of listening to! You like guitars, Jimmy Page likes guitars. When Jimmy is home listening to music, one of his faves is Steely Dan. Maybe not so enjoyed by the masses, musicians know their music and there is a moderate number of songs from the Steely Dan catalog that are very good. Like Rush, to me, EVERY song is Top Notch. Won't you have a listen.

1. Gold Teeth . 2. Gold Teeth 2 Katy lied ...all of it . Aja = 6 Star .

Reeling in the years is wasting time
